After nearly four years, Ghost of Tsushima is finally available on PC.

After nearly four years, Ghost of Tsushima is finally available on PC. The new release includes the base game, the Legends mode, and the Iki Island expansion, as well as a suite of the latest technologies from Nvidia , AMD , and Intel . From a performance perspective, Ghost of Tsushima runs well and looks beautiful, but it has one big problem.

Ghost of Tsushima PC Settings Comparison I would encourage you to mess with the settings yourself, however. Ghost of Tsushima renders the game behind the graphics menu, allowing you to see how your changes impact the image quality in real time. In addition, there are useful tooltips for each of the options that note how the setting stresses the different components in your system. Other developers could learn from Sucker Punch here on how to design a PC graphics menu.

Ghost of Tsushima PC system requirements Originally being a title on the PS4, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Ghost of Tsushima system requirements aren’t too demanding. You can see the breakdown in the chart above. For minimum settings, you can scape by with a GTX 960 or RX 5500 XT, as well as a low-end CPU that’s nearly a decade old.

Given what we saw with Helldivers 2 recently, there’s a high likelihood that Sony will require a PSN account for its PC ports moving forward. Signing into or creating a PSN account is annoying, but the bigger problem is availability. With the Low preset and XeSS or FSR set to dynamically adjust the resolution, I was getting a consistent 45 fps, and with pretty solid image quality. There are certainly games that run far worse on the Steam Deck that have received a Verified badge, such as Lords of the Fallen and even The Last of Us Part I.

Ghost of Tsushima PC Upscaling For the upscaling component, the differences are more nuanced, which you can see in the video above of all three tools running in their Performance mode at 4K . Off the bat, FSR immediately looks the worst. We haven’t seen AMD’s highly anticipated FSR 3.1 update yet, which promises much better quality and stability. The latter point is what hurts FSR in Ghost of Tsushima.
