Following several days of rumours and leaks, developer Sucker Punch has revealed Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut for both PS4 and PS5, although there are some slight differences between the versions.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut will include a brand new expansion set after the main game’s events on Iki Island. Jin will travel to the island to investigate rumours of a Mongol presence and find himself “caught up in traumatic moments from his past.”
The Iki Island expansion will include brand new armour for Jin, new techniques to learn, new enemy types, mini-games, animals to pet, and much more. Of course, there shall also be brand unique trophies to earn for this expansion.
On both the PS4 & PS5 versions of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, the Iki Island expansion shall be included, as well as any other DLC and content that’s been added since the release of the game.
However, the PS5 version of the game is getting some exclusive additional features, and they’re listed below.
-
Japanese voice-over lip sync
-
DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers
-
Enhancements to 3D audio
-
Drastically improved load times
-
4K resolutions options
-
A mode targetting 60fps

If you own Ghost of Tsushima on PS4, you’ll be able to transfer your save file to PS5. If you’re a new player or starting fresh, you won’t be able to start the Iki island content until the beginning of Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima.
The release date for Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut is just right around the corner on August 20th, 2021.
If you own Ghost of Tsushima already, you can update to the Director’s Cut on PS4 and get the Iki Island expansion for AUD 29.95 (confirmed pricing via PS Store). If you upgrade from the PS4 version of Ghost of Tsushima to the Director’s Cut on PS5, it’ll cost you $29.99USD (roughly $39.99AUD, still awaiting confirmation of AUS pricing).
There is some pre-order bonuses available for the digital version of the game including a skin set and an art book; there will also be a physical release of the game.
Sucker Punch has also announced that new updates come to the online co-op mode, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends soon, including a brand new game mode.
