Fans of the celebrated action-adventure game, Ghost of Tsushima, are in for a treat as the Director’s Cut is officially making its way to PC platforms. Sony and Sucker Punch Studios have announced the arrival of this expanded version, which will include various PC-specific enhancements and features when it launches through popular digital storefronts Steam and Epic Games Store later this year.
The much-anticipated PC release date is set for May 16, with pre-orders now open. Included in the Director’s Cut is the original base game along with the Iki Island expansion, providing more insight into the backstory of the protagonist, Jin Sakai. Additionally, the “Legends” multiplayer mode allows players to join forces and battle against hordes of enemies.
Adding to the appeal, the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is being developed by Nixxes, a studio renowned for its high-quality PC porting capabilities. The game will support a variety of AI-based upscaling technologies, including Nvidia DLSS 3.0, AMD FSR 3.0, and Intel XeSS. Moreover, it will cater to players using ultra-wide monitors, though DirectStorage support seems to be absent.
Other notable PC version features include full utilization of DualSense controller capabilities (when used in a wired connection) and compatibility with an extensive range of third-party controllers. For a unique cinematic experience, players can engage “Kurosawa Mode”, which renders the game in a classic black-and-white visual style reminiscent of old samurai movies. And for those concerned with potential performance issues, the Steam page indicates that the game is set to launch without the often contentious Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
To entice early adopters, pre-ordering the game will secure exclusive in-game content. These bonuses are purely cosmetic, ensuring that they won’t have an impact on actual gameplay balance or mechanics.
Overall, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC is shaping up to be a definitive experience for the title, boasting a range of enhancements and features tailored to the PC gaming audience. With its release just around the corner, fans old and new will soon be able to dive into the immersive world of Tsushima with added flair and flexibility.
