Ghost of Tsushima PC Has PlayStation’s Third-Highest Peak Player Count, Beating Horizon, TLOU, and More

Following the game's PC release yesterday, PlayStation's Ghost of Tsushima is off to a good start on PC.

The PC version of the 2020 PS4 (and PS5) title was launched through Steam yesterday, and despite a PSN account requirement for the game's online mode, the game quickly claimed the third spot when it comes to peak player numbers for PlayStation-published PC titles.
