Ghost Of Tsushima Director’s Cut PC Features
Akin to just about every other PlayStation Studios title that has made the leap from console, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut makes up for the delay by stuffing a whole host of PC-exclusive features into its final offering. To start with, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC provides a wealth of advanced graphical options and visual presets that allow players to scale and optimise Sucker Punch Productions’ samurai epic to the unique capabilities of their gaming rig.
Staying with the visual side of things, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC also brings support for wider-than-usual displays. This means that if you’re rocking an Ultrawide (21:9) display, a Super Ultrawide (32:9) display and even a Triple Monitor display setup (48:9), Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut has your back on PC when it comes to supporting hyper-cinematic display ratios.
When it comes to performance, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC isn’t a slouch here either thanks in no small part to how it leverages the latest upscaling and frame generation technologies. This means that if you’re rocking a 40 Series Nvidia GPU, you’ll be able to benefit from NVIDIA’s cutting-edge DLSS 3 upscaling technology, while AMD’s FSR 3 upscaling technology is also supported alongside Intel’s XeSS upscaling solution. The cherry on top of all this is that Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC also supports NVIDIA’s low latency Reflex technology and its image-sharpening DLAA solution. Put simply, Ghost of Tsushima has never looked as good as it does on PC.
Finally, it’s also worth noting that Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC fully supports all of the capabilities of Sony’s PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. This means that PC players can enjoy the sword-swinging and arrow-firing escapades of Jin Sakai with palpable haptic feedback that registers every strike, while adaptive triggers replicate the tensile sensation of tightly pulling a bowstring before letting off a shaft into the skull of your nearest enemy.
Ghost Of Tsushima Director’s Cut PC Story
Rather than focusing on the Edo period like a lot of other similar games, Ghost of Tsushima instead goes to an earlier time period. Unfolding in the late 13th century, the monstrous Mongol general, Khotun Khan, has set his sights on Tsushima Island as a potential gateway to a full-throated invasion of the Japanese mainland. Standing in his way is Jin Sakai and his clan who form the tip of the spear of resistance that the Tsushima Islands attempt to thrust into the chest of the Mongol invasion.
Quickly overwhelmed in the first wave of attacks, and with all of his clan killed and left for dead by Khotun Khan himself, a resolute and vengeful Jin Sakai wages a one-man guerilla war against an irresistible tidal wave of Mongol aggression as he seeks to reclaim the lands of his people, restore the honour of his clan and slay Khotun Khan. A real love letter to the Japanese produced and directed samurai movies of the 1950s and 1960s, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut also provides a classic black and white style filter as well as fully synced Japanese voice acting.
Ghost Of Tsushima Director’s Cut PC Gameplay
An open-world action-adventure which unfurls from a third-person perspective, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut allows wannabe samurai to directly tackle quests, which progress the story, or sidestep all of that and immerse themselves in a veritable range of additional activities and side quests. Much like the most recent Assassin’s Creed titles, Ghost of Tsushima not only allows players to explore its beautiful rural expanses with a full suite of UI waypoints and navigation systems engaged, but it also permits those braver souls to turn off the UI entirely and find their way around the Tsushima Islands by using the direction of the wind and nearby landmarks.
When you’re not exploring the Islands of Tsushima, liberating villages and completing quests you’ll be taking part in some horrendously satisfying and visceral combat; an area where Ghost of Tsushima strikes out on its own and separates itself from other open-world games in the process. Though players can stealthily assassinate enemies from the shadows and bow-snipe foes at range, it’s really in the melee combat side of things that Ghost of Tsushima excels with tactile, violent and surprisingly tactical scraps. These brutal battles not only demand quick reflexes and a keen eye for enemy movement but also a mastery of four different stances that each afford advantages and disadvantages against different types of opponents.
Including much more than just the base game and story campaign, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC also offers up the Legends cooperative multiplayer modes (which introduce a range of fresh missions and objectives) as well as a New Game Plus mode and an additional single-player campaign expansion which unfolds on the entirely new Iki Island landmass.
