Ghost of Tsushima has received its official PC system requirements. This crucial information about the PC port of Sucker Punch Productions' critically acclaimed game has arrived one month ahead of Ghost of Tsushima's Steam launch.
Aside from serving as the PS4's swan song, Ghost of Tsushima also ended up becoming one of the most highly regarded early PS5 games once its Director's Cut edition hit the market in August 2021. Two and a half years later, Sony announced that this definitive edition of Ghost of Tsushima is also coming to PC, with its Steam debut being scheduled for May 16.
Nixxes Software, a PlayStation subsidiary in charge of the PC port, has now detailed the game's official system requirements ahead of its release. The spec list is fairly reasonable for a modern AAA game, with the Dutch studio revealing that rigs equipped with GPUs as old as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 will be able to run Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. Granted, the nine-year-old graphics card will only be able to render 30 frames per second at a 720p resolution; those looking to enjoy 4K gameplay at 60 FPS will still need access to some of the best gaming GPUs that money can currently buy.

The newly announced system requirements also confirm that the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima won't be particularly CPU-intensive. Both the six-year-old Intel Core i5-8600 and its year-younger AMD Ryzen 5 3600 rival will be enough to run the game at a 1440p resolution and 60 FPS or 4K resolution at half that frame rate. Its RAM requirements are also reasonable, ranging from 8 GB to 16 GB. While the official spec sheet doesn't outright state this, the cited amounts likely refer to the latest DDR5 RAM specification, which operates at effective speeds up to double those of its predecessor.
Another takeaway from the newly published system requirements is that Ghost of Tsushima is resisting the trend of AAA PC games mandating SSD use. While a solid-state disk is still recommended, it is not a necessity, with the minimum system requirements revealing that the game should still be able to run from a significantly slower HDD.
