The wait is nearly over for Ghost of Yotei, the highly anticipated sequel to 2020’s beloved Ghost of Tsushima. The game is launching worldwide on October 2 and promises to deliver another breathtaking open-world adventure, this time with a fresh new female protagonist, Atsu.
Players who have already preordered won’t need to wait until release day to get started. Preloading the game opens on September 25, giving you a full week to clear space, download, and prepare before the journey begins.
Ghost of Yotei Pre-load File Size and Early Access Details
At 85.1 GB, Ghost of Yotei is looking like a typical AAA game size (with recent standards). However, with that hefty download also comes a game, which aims to bring an expanded world, upgraded visuals, and various new mechanics.
For comparison, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut arrived at around 60 GB, so fans can expect even more content and technical depth this time. Given the size, it’s strongly recommended to check your PS5 storage ahead of preload day.
While discussing preload, one important detail shouldn’t be overlooked: no edition of the game, Standard, Digital Deluxe, or Collector, offers players early access.
Unlike most AAA releases that reward players who pre-order or buy the pricier edition with a day or two of head start, Ghost of Yotei will unlock for everyone at the same time: midnight on October 2. Preloading simply provides the convenience of jumping into the game right away without waiting for a massive download.
