Sucker Punch has expanded the world of Ghost of Yotei with a new multiplayer experience called Ghost of Yotei Legends. This mode lets players team up online and fight supernatural enemies in co-op missions inspired by myths and folklore from the Ghost universe.
For players jumping into the update, the biggest questions are how to start the mode, whether the base game is required, and if the Legends DLC costs anything. Here’s a quick guide explaining how everything works.
How to Start Ghost of Yotei Legends
Accessing Ghost of Yotei Legends is simple. The mode becomes available after installing the latest game update, and players can launch it directly from the main menu.
To start playing Legends multiplayer, follow these steps:
Make sure Ghost of Yotei is installed on the PS5.
Update the game to the latest version.
Launch the game normally.
Select Enter Legends Co-Op Mode from the main menu.
Complete the short tutorial that introduces the mechanics.
After finishing the tutorial, the full Ghost of Yotei Legends multiplayer mode becomes available. Players can begin joining co-op missions, fighting demons, and progressing through the Legends content
Unlike some DLC modes that require completing the main story first, Legends is accessible right away once the update is installed.
Do You Need Ghost of Yotei to Play Legends?
Yes. Players must own Ghost of Yotei to play the Legends multiplayer content.
The mode works as an expansion tied to the base game, meaning a physical or digital copy of Ghost of Yotei is required. It isn’t a standalone release like some multiplayer spin-offs.
Once the base game is owned and installed, the Legends update can be downloaded and accessed through the main menu.

How to Play Ghost of Yotei Legends
Is Ghost of Yotei Legends Free?
Yes, Ghost of Yotei Legends DLC is free for anyone who owns the base game.
Players who already have Ghost of Yotei can download the update at no additional cost and immediately access the multiplayer mode. Those who don’t own the game will need to purchase it first before playing Legends.
Since the mode is built specifically for Ghost of Yotei owners, it serves as extra co-op content that expands the overall experience rather than a separate release.
With the update installed, Ghost of Yotei Legends offers a new way to experience the game. Instead of playing solo, players can team up online, take on demon-filled missions, and explore a different side of the Ghost universe.
