Ghost of Yōtei is an upcoming PS5 title that Sony Interactive Entertainment has formally presented as a PS5 exclusive in an official video. A Complete Edition expansion is set for release on October 1, adding a new story and a survival mode.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's August 2026 video, titled "Only On PS5 | PS5 Games," presents Ghost of Yōtei as a PS5 exclusive, displaying the phrase "PLAYSTATION 5 EXCLUSIVE" for the title. The video follows a March 2026 Bloomberg report, which cited internal sources saying SIE had stopped planning PC versions for major PS5 single-player games. Ghost of Yōtei was named among titles remaining console exclusive, while online games like Marathon and MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls continue as multiplatform releases.
SIE has not issued an official statement confirming a policy shift, but the video arrives after several signals, including Game*Spark reporting that PC development mentions have disappeared from PlayStation Studios studio descriptions and that Sony's annual report removed references to "PC and other multiplatform" from its gaming segment. The video's comment section is largely filled with anger from overseas gamers over the discontinuation of physical disc versions.
Separately, Automaton's weekly roundup confirmed the October 1 release of Ghost of Yōtei's Complete Edition expansion, which adds a new story and a survival mode. The roundup also covered the announcement of AVA RE:BIRTH, a return-to-roots FPS slated for fall 2026.
