Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut made its way over to digital storefront Steam earlier this week, on May 16, packaging in the original game’s sword-slashing campaign, as well as exclusive armor sets, developer commentary, and the Legends co-op mode in the Director’s Cut.
PlayStation’s growing multiplatform approach seems to be on the up-and-up since Jin’s revenge tale has proven to be an even bigger hit than games starring icons like Kratos and Peter Parker. Ghost of Tsushima’s PC port has reached a concurrent player count of 75,000 as of the time of writing, according toSteamDBcharts.
The only other PlayStation-published game with a higher peak is multiplayer phenomenonHelldivers 2, with a whopping 458,000 peak, which has a slight advantage since it came to the storefront on launch day, as opposed to being ported years later.
Ghost of Tsushima was also a victim of a similar PSN-related controversy that Helldivers 2 dealt with, as publisherSonyInteractive Entertainment tried to make all PC helldivers link to an activePlayStation Networkaccount, promptinga mass review bombing campaignand the delisting of the game in several countries. Sony walked back the requirement for their hit shooter, but itstill exists for Ghost of Tsushima’s online co-op mode.
