Ghost of Yotei release countdown: Start time for all regions

The Ghost of Yotei release clock is now officially counting down to its global release date of October 2, 2025. It has been five years since the release of Ghost of Tsushima and our new PS5 exclusive title takes our players to a new version of Japan, which serves as the backdrop for Atsu’s tale in a dangerous, historically-based open world that allows players to answer the call of adventure and exploration.

While there is a preload option, you cannot access it early, so that everyone will start with the same clock. While some may dislike this, it will create a level playing field since no one will have access beforehand. So, everyone will start at the same moment when the clock strikes midnight in your area.

Here’s the full breakdown of Ghost of Yotei release times across the globe.
