The upgrade path to Ghost of Yōtei’s new Echoes of Sekigahara story DLC costs US$15 for players who already own the game, against a US$70 Complete Edition for everyone else, and the maths on that gap is what decides whether it’s worth buying.

The expansion and the Most Wanted roguelike mode went live on PS5 on 1 October 2026, one year on from the base game’s launch. Existing owners pay the US$15 upgrade price to unlock both; new players get them folded into the US$70 Complete Edition. An Australian dollar price for either has not been announced.

The Echoes of Sekigahara campaign runs roughly 8 to 10 hours, which reviewers put on par with one of the base game’s existing regions. It is set before the end of the main story and takes Atsu to the Ashoro Foothills to chase a bounty on Nagato the Handsome, a figure from her past at the Battle of Sekigahara.

Buyers should also note the gate on it: the questline only opens once players are about 10 hours into the main story and have cleared four prerequisite missions, then accepted Nagato’s bounty from the broker Kojiro. That unlock requirement and the campaign length are separate figures, so anyone returning after a long break faces a stretch of base-game play before the paid content starts.

Most Wanted adds the replay value the price leans on. It is a standalone roguelike mode from the main menu, with randomised combat runs that end in a boss fight against one of the Yōtei Six, and four playable characters including Jin Sakai of Ghost of Tsushima, each with their own skill trees.

There is also a wrinkle in the upgrade price itself. Reports from players on the PlayStation Store do not line up: one owner of a physical copy sees the US$15 figure, while a Canadian player reports CA$19.99 with no discount marking. The two have not been reconciled, and no Australian price has been confirmed.

The free update softens the case for paying at all. Every player, DLC or not, gets transmogrification, new accessibility options and a screensaver-style mode, and the same update added Sony’s new QSSR AI upscaling as a graphics option on the standard PS5.

Ghost of Yōtei launched on PS5 on 2 October 2025. The Complete Edition, the DLC upgrade and Most Wanted are all out now on PS5; an Australian price has not been confirmed.
