Ghost of Yōtei Tops Japan’s PS5 Charts While Battlefield 6 Dominates the West

Sony has officially revealed the most downloaded PlayStation Store games for October 2025, and it looks like Japan’s got a clear favorite.

Ghost of Yōtei, Sucker Punch Productions’ highly anticipated samurai sequel, is sitting proudly at the top of Japan’s PS5 chart. Meanwhile, Battlefield 6 dominates in the West, taking the No.1 spot across the U.S., Canada, and most of Europe.


Another Japanese favorite, Silent Hill f is holding firm in seventh place domestically but is completely absent from the Western charts. Likewise, quirky titles like BALL x PIT found a devoted audience in Japan, ranking eighth, but never cracked the top 20 elsewhere.


Meanwhile, in Western territories, sports fever shows no signs of cooling off. EA Sports FC 26 and NBA 2K26 continue their dominance, landing third and fourth, respectively, in the U.S. and Europe.

 

And yes, Grand Theft Auto V still refuses to die; it’s clinging onto fourth place in the EU charts. Arc Raiders, despite its release on the last day of the month, rounds out the Western top five, while in Japan, it sits at a more modest ninth position.


Interestingly, Dispatch, a new superhero workplace comedy from former Telltale developers at AdHoc Studio, is punching well above its weight. It’s sitting at No.11 in the EU but goes toe-to-toe with the heavyweights at No.6 in the U.S. and Canada. Considering the game sold 1 million copies in just 10 days, these chart positions make a lot of sense.

According to earlier reports from The Game Business and GSD data, Ghost of Yōtei debuted at No.2 in the European charts and is Sony’s biggest first-party launch since Spider-Man 2 in 2023. Released on October 2, 2025, the game reportedly sold over 2 million copies within three days, generating an estimated $140 million in revenue at a minimum.


As per a Game File interview with Brian Fleming, co-founder of Sucker Punch, the studio’s budget for Ghost of Yōtei was similar to Ghost of Tsushima’s, hovering around $60 million. That means the game recouped its development costs in mere days.


Likewise, Battlefield 6 has achieved the strongest debut in the series’ history, selling an incredible 7 million copies in only three days. EA described the launch as “record-shattering” and “explosive,” while Battlefield boss Vince Zampella called it “momentous.”
