The preload starts sooner than you think
The wait for Ghost of Yōtei is coming to an end. Starting October 2, PS5 players will be able to immerse themselves in the battles of feudal Japan—but those who have already pre-ordered the game can get ready even earlier.& nbsp;According to the creators of the well-known X account PlayStation Game Size, which regularly provides insights into the PlayStation Network databases, the preload will begin exactly one week before release: on September 25, 2025.
This gives pre-orderers a decisive advantage. Instead of waiting hours for the download on release day, the samurai adventure can be loaded onto the console in advance. This is a detail that counts, especially when you consider how big the game is – because this is where Ghost of Yōtei shows its true power.
This is how big the digital heavyweight is
The download is said to be exactly 85.119 gigabytes – a figure that makes it clear that Sucker Punch has gone all out in its development. By comparison, its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, required significantly less storage space. The increased size suggests high-resolution textures, an even more detailed game world, and possibly expanded content.
But what can players expect in terms of content? The story takes you back to the year 1603 on the northern island of Hokkaido. Unlike in the previous game, this time you take on the role of the warrior Atsu, who must fight for her place in an era marked by upheaval.& nbsp;A whole 329 years before Jin Sakai’s story, a new chapter unfolds, bringing a breath of fresh air to the Samurai universe – and already electrifying many fans.
