PlayStation overlay, cross-play, and Trophy support.
Update (May 14, 2024): At launch, cross play on Legends Mode will be in Beta. Cross play between PS4 consoles, PS5 consoles, and PC is supported when starting a game session by inviting friends on PlayStation Network.
Hey everyone, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is coming to PC on May 16! Today we’re giving you all the details on cross-play support in Legends mode and the inclusion of a new PlayStation overlay, with support for PlayStation Trophies and more.
As we’ve announced previously, Ghost on Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC contains the full game, the Iki Island expansion, and the cooperative online multiplayer Legends mode. Thanks to cross-play support, Legends players on Windows PCs can team up with players on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles and use in-game voice chat to communicate. You will be required to sign into your PlayStation Network account to access Legends mode.
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is the first PlayStation title on PC that uses a new PlayStation overlay, which includes your Friends list, Trophies, Settings, and your Profile. This feature is available on Windows PCs and will be accessible from the in-game menu or, for keyboard players, by pressing the “SHIFT +F1” shortcut on your keyboard.
While playing the game, you can earn PlayStation Trophies just like on PlayStation consoles. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC shares the same Trophy set as the game on PlayStation 5 consoles*. In addition, the PC version also has full support for Achievements on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
To make use of features like Trophies, Friends list, and cross-play, you can sign in with your existing account for PlayStation Network or create a new account. The use of PlayStation overlay is optional for both the single player experience and Legends mode.

Legends mode is by far the best of this boring game. But you charge to people a f*ing subscription to play coop but on PC will be totally FREE. LMAO SONY
As a PlayStation player for over two decades, I think I speak for everyone when I say that the relentless PC focus by PlayStation over the past four years not only has not provided any value to us PlayStation players, but it actually seems to have taken value away from being a PlayStation player. Bring value back to the console gamer!
I am very excited for this! Will it be coming to GOG.com? That would be an instant buy for me as I prefer drm-free.
ANOTHER WAY TO LOSE YOUR MYSTIQUE GOOD JOB
As of may the 1st the new PC crossplay update makes the PlayStation version unplayable.
Good job
My PlayStation 5 is failing to recognize and adjust visual settings when I switch displays from a 4k tv input to a 1440p monitor input while connected to a hdmi switch!
Sony how do I go about getting a fix for this? Because my frustration is even further amplified when my console from Microsoft the series x has no problems with using an hdmi switch, and recognizes while running that I switched displays, so why does my PlayStation 5 not have support to automatically recognize a hdmi switch is in use with my displays setup?!?!
Please I am begging you to fix this so I don’t have to keep manually going in to adjust my PlayStation settings to go from a 4k display to a 1440p display. It is 2024 you should know people are going to be using these innovative technologies for their living room setups!
will it require me to be always online to play? if so I’m refunding my pre-order
Forcing a PSN log in is a HUGE mistake. Unless Sony is intentionally wanting to alienate a huge chunk of PC players. For the record, I ditched my playstation and built a PC. I love PS games, but $80/year for the base tier for online services is insulting. Forcing a PSN on PC players indicates to me that you’re also aiming to charge PC players a PSN subscription….which would force me to never purchase a Sony product again
