Sucker Punch has released a new patch for Ghost of Yōtei with numerous bug and crash fixes, including one that could rarely occur when using ray tracing.
Those who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition but didn’t receive the Black Ghost Mask after completing “To Catch a Spider,” should now be able to do so. Other fixes target numerous mission blockers, whether it’s not receiving flash bombs in “Fighting Fire with Fire” or missing the armor upgrade scene from “The Tale of the Oni.”
If that wasn’t enough, a placeholder asset in “The Kitsune’s Fate” has been replaced as well. Check out the full patch notes below for more details.
Ghost of Yōtei is available exclusively on PS5 – check out our review here. Though it received extensive critical praise, Sony hasn’t announced sales figures. Reports estimate that it sold-in more than two million copies to retailers in its first week and in Europe, sales are pretty much in line with Ghost of Tsushima. While further patches are likely, it will also receive a free co-op mode, Legends, sometime in 2026.

Performance and Stability
- Fixed a rare crash that could happen when ray tracing is enabled.

Gameplay
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Black Ghost mask from being granted to players who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition of Ghost of Yotei once they completed “To Catch a Spider”.
