Some angry PlayStation fans have expressed their frustration about how unhappy they are with the Ghost of Tsushima PC Port. The Steam discussions section of the Ghost of Tsushima PC version is rife with discontent, and some have directed their grievances toward Nixxes Software, the developers assisting Sony’s studios with porting their first-party games to PC.
Since 2020, PlayStation has been porting some first-party games from PlayStation Studios to PC. The first was Horizon Zero Dawn in August 2020, followed by Days Gone from Bend Studios in May 2021. Afterward, the acclaimed God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man were ported in January and August 2022. Most of these ports were done with the help of Nixxes Software, a studio that Sony acquired in 2021. Ghost of Tsushima is the next first-party Sony game coming to PC, though this news hasn’t come without its share of backlash.
PlayStation Exclusive Ghost of Tsushima Is Officially Coming to PC
Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima is finally being ported to PC after years of rumor and speculation, bringing with it new technical features.
In a post on Twitter, user KJovian shared screenshots from the Steam community forum. In the images, fans can be seen complaining about PC gamers, accusing them of being the cause behind Sony’s decision to port more first-party games due to their incessant requests. Others criticize the Japanese publisher itself. One specific user expressed feeling betrayed and is attempting to spearhead a campaign to prevent other players from buying Ghost of Tsushima on Steam, hoping to make Sony regret its decision to port first-party games to PC. This thread has garnered over 500 comments, though most are “jester” emotes.
Some PlayStations Fans Are Unhappy With Ghost of Tsushima PC Port
Other frustrated PlayStation fans can be found on the official PlayStation blog that announced the news about Ghost of Tsushima. A few rare thank Nixxes, claiming the company enables PC players to enjoy these games. On the other hand, others accuse Nixxes of being the worst studio in PlayStation Studios, wishing it had been shut down instead of PlayStation London Studios, which underwent layoffs alongside 900 other employees in the company.
For better or worse, Ghost of Tsushima will arrive on PC in May this year. The Director’s Cut version’s port will bring new features to the samurai game, such as new graphics settings and presets, customizable keyboard and mouse inputs, and ultrawide display support. The Iki Island expansion is included in this version. Ghost of Tsushima is just one of Sony’s first-party games that is coming to PC. The game was mentioned in a leak listing the next PlayStation PC Ports. If the leak is correct, fans may see Demon’s Souls and Gran Turismo 7 eventually making their way to PC as well.
Sony is committed to publishing more PC games, especially live-service games since they are expected to launch on the PlayStation and PC on day one. This was the case with Helldivers 2 from Arrowhead Game Studios, which, while not a first-party game, was published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game achieved a rare feat, as Helldivers 2 sales numbers keep growing a month after its release, feedback that further empowers Sony’s publishing strategy.
