After 26 years, Ghost of Tsushima is about to be Sucker Punch's first PC game
Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut will officially hit PC on May 16.
The package will include the base game, the Iki Island expansion, and the multiplayer Legends mode. The PC version is being built in collaboration between developer Sucker Punch Productions and venerable port house Nixxes Software. It will mark the first PC release for a Sucker Punch game in the studio's entire 26-year history.
On PC, Ghost of Tsushima will support ultrawide monitors and is "fully optimized" for 21:9 and 32:9 setups. It will also let you go all the way up to a 48:9 triple monitor display. You'll be able to boost your frame rates—which can be unlocked—with GPU tech like Nvidia DLSS3 or AMD FSR 3. There are additional customizable mouse and keyboard controls alongside "extensive" controller support, including full haptics if you use a DualSense.

With them on board, we knew the results would be nothing short of amazing! Now excuse me as I go order a Super Ultra Wide monitor!"

The Sony partnership continued into the PS3 era with Infamous, and it was around this time that Sucker Punch was acquired to become a PlayStation studio. And indeed, in all that time, not a single one of those games ever made it to PC.
Now Sucker Punch is known mostly as the Ghost of Tsushima studio, and with nearly four years passed since the launch of that game, fans have eagerly been awaiting word of the developers' next project. Rumors of Ghost of Tsushima 2
