Ghost of Yotei players received a surprise 29GB update that activates features ahead of the game's Complete Edition release early next month.

The patch introduced Beauty of Yotei mode, now accessible from the main menu. Sucker Punch describes it as a "world showcase mode" where players can move through different locations with slow cinematic framing and music designed to highlight the mood and beauty of the game's world.

This update appears designed to prepare the base game for the Complete Edition enhancement, which will include the Echoes of Sekigahara expansion alongside other new content. The patch size and early activation of Beauty of Yotei suggest Sucker Punch is rolling out infrastructure and select features before the Complete Edition's full launch.
