The wait is almost over, Ghost of Tsushima is finally released on PC! This original title taking place in the heart of feudal Japan will be available very soon… but you will need a rather sturdy computer to play it. What configurations are announced?
Ghost of Tsushima allows you to slip into the shoes of a samurai and swing the katana across the island of Tsushima. This open world was originally released on PS4 in 2020. A “Director’s Cut” was then unveiled the following year: it is this version which is now brought to PC by the specialized studio Nixxes, with an arrival planned for May 16. An excellent opportunity for PC players to try their hand at an original title, in which they can evolve through sublime environments – and practice the art of samurai-style combat, of course.
The PC port looks set to be very successful, but will your machine be able to withstand the shock? Here are the recommended configs and our hardware suggestions for an efficient upgrade!

This port looks very promising and Sony and Nixxes seem to have thought of everything. First of all, it is the first PlayStation game on PC to integrate the PlayStation overlay. Additionally, cross-play with PS4 and PS5 players is integrated. That’s not all since this version is optimized for ultra-wide screens and compatible with 21:9, 32:9 and 48:9 resolutions with three screens (gasp!).
Several recent technologies are also well compatible to help improve the framerate: Nvidia’s DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3, as well as Intel’s XeSS.
