Gaming enthusiasts, rejoice! Sony’s captivating samurai saga, Ghost of Tsushima, is breaking free from its PlayStation confines and making its way to PC. In an unexpected announcement on the PlayStation blog today, Sony revealed that the acclaimed title, developed by Sucker Punch Productions, will hit Steam and the Epic Games Store on May 16.
The PC port, spearheaded by Nixxes—now under Sony’s banner since 2021—brings the Director’s Cut edition to a broader audience. This version includes the full game, the immersive Iki Island expansion, and the engaging cooperative online multiplayer mode, Legends.
With a year of dedicated effort, Nixxes has tailored the game for PC aficionados, promising unlocked frame rates, customizable graphics settings, and adaptable mouse and keyboard controls. Whether you’re gaming on an expansive 48:9 monitor or craving advanced features like DLSS, FSR, or XeSS support, Ghost of Tsushima aims to cater to your preferences. Even the sophisticated haptic feedback of PS5 controllers finds its way onto PC screens, ensuring an immersive experience for players.
For those unfamiliar with the allure of Ghost of Tsushima, picture a classic Assassin’s Creed adventure set in feudal Japan, enriched with the essence of samurai honor and Mongol invasion. As a samurai seeking vengeance amidst the chaos, players can relish in the authenticity of the era, complete with the ability to compose haikus and elegantly dispatch foes with their katana.
While not necessarily achieving classic status, Ghost of Tsushima has undeniably been a standout title in the PlayStation lineup since its debut on PS4 in 2020, followed by a refined release on PS5 in 2021. With its impending PC launch, the game is poised to shine even brighter, leveraging the formidable hardware capabilities of PC gaming rigs.
Sony’s track record with PC releases may raise some skepticism, but with Nixxes at the helm, expectations are high for a seamless transition. As the PC gaming landscape continues to expand with each Sony title’s arrival, it’s evident that PC gaming offers unparalleled access to a diverse array of gaming experiences.
In the midst of this exciting era for Sony games on PC, the announcement of Ghost of Tsushima’s arrival adds another layer of anticipation for gaming enthusiasts. Beyond the imminent release of Horizon Forbidden West on Steam, Sony’s move to bring Ghost of Tsushima to PC underscores the platform’s growing prominence as the ultimate destination for gaming diversity.
