A new update for Ghost of Yotei fixes some issues that have appeared in the game's recently added New Game Plus mode. This latest Ghost of Yotei the update isn't the biggest the game has seen, but it does fix some annoying gameplay issues that fans have been experiencing, especially ones that have plagued New Game Plus players.
Launching first exclusively on PlayStation 5 on October 2nd, Sucker Punch Productions' sequel to Ghost of Tsushima is easily one of the most talked about action-adventure games of the year, with over 2 million units sold within three days of its release. It has also received numerous accolades, with an OpenCritic player rating of 90 and wins for Best Sound Design and Console Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. Ghost of Yotei also has plenty of opportunity to add to its trophy case on December 11, as it made the list of nominees for The Game Awards 2025 seven times, including a Best Performance nod for Erika Ishii as Atsu.

Less than two weeks ago, Sucker Punch dropped the game's 1,000th update, which among other things introduced Ghost of Yoteis New Game Plus mode, which allows players to continue their adventures with a level of Atsu even after her story has ended. Although that update has significantly expanded Ghost of Yotei experience, it came with some annoying bugs, so a follow-up patch has now been added to the game that fixes four gameplay issues, including those brought to the attention of New Game Plus. A couple of these notes are generalized and simply state that post-launch the development team fixed some issues the game had been experiencing related to both the New Game Plus provider and some uncommon soft-lock issues.
The other notes are more specific. A strange bug that had appeared in the New Game Plus mode was related to Ghost of Yotei's Bamboo Strike locations. There are 15 such locations spread across the game's world, where players can tackle a mini-game that requires memorizing and repeating a series of button presses, with success resulting in Atsu receiving a boost to his overall Spirit. After the release of the 1,000 update, players had noticed that the counter in these locations was strangely showing negative numbers, but this issue has reportedly been fixed with the release of the latest update.
An even more serious issue is one that had prevented some players from collecting Platinum Armor Dye after earning a Platinum trophy in Ghost of Yotei, potentially locking them out of a desired cosmetic item. The team noted that this issue had been rare, and had only seemed to affect players who had achieved the trophy across multiple saves, but that has also been fixed. In addition to the gameplay issues, the new patch notes also mention that the latest update has fixed some general crash issues that players have been experiencing on rare occasions.
As Sucker Punch deals with the early growing pains associated with the addition of New Game Plus, there is still more content planned for the game on the horizon. A Legends co-op mode is planned for Ghost of Yotei 2026, which was confirmed in a trailer for the game more than a month before its release. While a release date for the Legends mode has not been set yet, it is slated to arrive as a free DLC add-on and will likely mirror the game mode of the same title that featured in Ghost of Tsushima.
