Ghost of Yotei is the PlayStation 5’s biggest release in 2025, and early access would present a fabulous opportunity to explore the Mount Yotei region. Let’s see if Sucker Punch has made this a reality, or if you need to have patience.
No pressure on Ghost of Yotei; the 2025 sequel has to live up to the epic success of its predecessor. Sucker Punch took a big chance moving onto yet another fresh franchise with Ghost of Tsushima, and it paid off—it’s Sucker Punch, of course, it did!
We know the Ghost of Yotei trophy list already, and early access would be the icing on the cake.
Can You Play Ghost of Yotei With Early Access?
Neither Sony nor Sucker Punch has given Ghost of Yotei the early access green light, which means the first opporunity to start your adventure is on release day.
We’re not huge fans of the early access incentive; however, getting Ghost of Yotei early would have been a cool perk. The sequel looks extremely ambitious and has the potential to be a rare sequel outing that surpasses the original.
The flexible nature of the story and how you progress, the excellent-looking weaponry (such as the Dual Katanas), and dynamic weather make Ghost of Yotei a must-have prospect.
Is There Any Way To Play Ghost of Yotei Early?
The only way to play Ghost of Yotei early is for attendees of the Tokyo Game Show, who can experience an exclusive playable demo before launch.
There’s a chance the TGS 2025 demo might find its way to the PS5 store, eventually. This is mere speculation, and if you’re not going to the Tokyo Game Show this year, you probably need to bide your time and wait until launch to play Ghost of Yotei.
The 2025 Game of the Year picture is looking exceptional. From Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to Hollow Knight: Silksong and Donkey Kong Bananza, the fight for supremacy will be tough. But if Ghost of Yotei can nail the landing, there’s no reason why PlayStation can’t have a fully-fledged GOTY winner.
