Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a PC version of Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut.

In development at Nixxes in collaboration with original creator Sucker Punch Productions, the game will be released on May 16 via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Originally released for PS4 in July 2020, the open-world adventure game is set during the Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274.

Players take on the role of Jin Sakai, a samurai warrior whose adventure draws on Japanese history and the traditions of samurai cinema to craft what Sucker Punch calls “a gorgeous tale of revenge, empowerment, and hope”.

Post-launch the game was expanded with a cooperative online multiplayer mode called Legends, which also received a standalone release in 2021.

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut was released for PS4 and PS5 in August 2021. It added the Iki Island story expansion, which sees Jin travelling to a new location to battle a Mongol tribe led by a shaman known as the Eagle.

The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut will include the base game, the Iki Island expansion, and Legends mode.

“For the past year, the team at Nixxes has been working hard to bring the Sucker Punch in-house engine technology to PC and implement PC features such as unlocked frame rates, a variety of graphics settings and presets, and customizable mouse and keyboard controlsm” said Julian Huijbregts, an online community specialist at the studio.

“With ultrawide monitor support, you can take in the expansive terrain and ancient landmarks with a cinematic field of view. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC is fully optimized for 21:9 and 32:9 resolutions and even supports 48:9 resolutions for triple monitor setups.

“Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC features the latest performance-enhancing technologies,” Huijbregts continued. “NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3 are available with both upscaling and frame generation options. Intel XeSS upscaling is also supported and if your hardware has headroom to spare, you can use NVIDIA DLAA or FSR 3 Native AA to further boost image quality.

“The game on PC also offers extensive controller support. Use Steam Input to remap and customize the peripheral of your choice to your preference. For a more immersive experience, use a PlayStation DualSense controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, so you can feel the tension of drawing a bow and the strikes of your sword.”

Ghost of Tsushima had sold 9.73 million copies as of July 2022, according to Sucker Punch.
