Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut coming to PS4 and PS5 this summer

By

After being rated by the ESRB, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut has been officially revealed by PlayStation. The game will launch on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on August 20, and comes with a slew of new features — some of which will be exclusive to the PS5. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut will also include a new piece of content taking place on Tsushima’s neighboring island of Iki.

PS5 players who pick up Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut will get access to the typical suite of features exclusive to the console. Haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, improved load times, 4K resolution options and a frame rate of 60 frames per second will all be present in the next-gen version of the game.

Best of all, PS5 players will finally be able to play the game with Japanese voice-over without dealing with mismatched lip-syncing. Characters will now speak with Japanese voices, thanks to “the PS5’s ability to render cinematics in real time,” according to a PlayStation Blog post. Sadly, PS4 players won’t have access to this improvement.

A new expansion for Ghost of Tsushima was also revealed. It sends Jin to Iki island to deal with its own Mongol threat. The DLC will give players access to new content, including new enemies, armor, techniques, and even armor for your horse. And according to a tweet from Andrew Goldfarb, the communications manager at Sucker Punch Productions, players will even be able to feed monkeys, a game-selling feature.

The game can be purchased on the last-gen console for $60 while the PS5 version will cost $70. Upgrades to this new version of the game will not be free for current owners of Ghost of Tsushima, either. Those who own the game on PS4 can pre-order an upgrade to the Director’s Cut for $20 or upgrade straight to the PS5 Director’s Cut for $30. If you purchase Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PS4, upgrading to the PS5 version costs just $10.

3 realistic improvements we want to see with PS5 Pro games
A red and blue PS5 stands on a table with matching controllers.

As we reach the middle of this current console generation, people are wondering when improved “Pro” versions of consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will arrive. PS5 fans had their curiosity rewarded this week when Moore’s Law is Dead and Insider Gaming leaked the specs of what has become colloquially known as the PS5 Pro and is reportedly referred to as “Trinity” internally at Sony.

The leaked documents indicate that the PS5 Pro will have a similar CPU to the base model that can be modified to run at a slightly higher clock speed, as well as 67 teraflops of 16 bit floating-point calculations, a GPU with 60 AMD compute units and faster memory bandwidth, and more. These are improvements over the launch PS5 model, but it isn’t a console generation-like leap in terms of hardware power.

Sony is indeed working on a more advanced version of the PlayStation 5 that could feature a more powerful GPU that's potentially up to three times faster for specific tasks compared to current PS5 models.

YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead claims to have obtained a technical overview document for the PS5 Pro, code-named Trinity, and Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson has confirmed the leaked specifications' accuracy, which suggests a holiday 2024 release window for the console.

PS4 vs. PS5: which console should you buy in 2024?
PlayStation 5 controller and PS5.

PlayStation 5 has been available for several years now, and it's easier than ever to find it in stock at retailers. The new-gen hardware makes big upgrades over its predecessor, letting gamers enjoy better graphics, shorter loading times, and support for the fancy DualSense controller. It's also much more expensive than PS4, so while PS5 is better than PS4 in most regards, it might not be ideal for frugal shoppers.

But is PS4 or PS5 the better choice in 2024? Does the aging PS4 really make sense to purchase right now, or should you opt for the PS5? From pricing and available games to storage and resolution, here's a closer look at these two popular consoles.
PS5 vs. PS4 vs. PS4 Pro specs
Even a cursory glance at the specs of the PS5 shows that it’s in a different league than the PS4 (and even the PS4 Pro). Sony has improved the capabilities of its platform in every way, adding more efficient storage, faster compute parts, support for larger capacity disks, and support for higher resolutions. We know there are two versions of the PS5 -- the Standard Edition and Digital Edition -- both of which will offer the same specs (with the exception of the omission of a disc drive with the Digital Edition).
