Ghost Of Tsushima PC Port Soars Through Steam Sales Chart After Official Reveal

The Ghost of Tsushima PC port exploded in popularity after the Steam reveal. The pre-orders made it become one of the most selling games.

purple101414d ago

one good thing about Sony releasing on pc late, in this case, (Ghost of Tsushima was released 2020)

Is 4 years have gone by and technology moved on, so now, almost any pc, will play it on high/ultra high settings.!!!

itsmebryan414d ago

What do you mean? The same way R&C could only be played with PS5's "SUPER fast SSD then even PCs with a slow mechanical hard drive was able to play it. PCs will be OK. Smh

LucasRuinedChildhood414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

PCs with slow HDDs would stutter and freeze trying to catch up in heavy moments when rifts are used.

Regardless, your point is random and has nothing to do with the topic.

purple101's point is just that more users will be able to play the game at the best settings now versus if it came to PC in 2020 which is objectively true. You're being weird.

Goosejuice414d ago

Also at the time when RC released it was only possible on ps5 at the time. Direct storage was not implemented onto pc at the time which is why it works now. Direct storage is the only reason why it works on pc with hdd

ThatArtGuy413d ago

Ghost was initially made for PS4, not PS5.

Markdn413d ago

It was proven that a standard HD didn't do very well at all with r&c So your comment is mute bryan

outsider1624413d ago

"a slow mechanical hard drive".
What about all that PC is best place to play? All that talk about pc is better and playing on an HDD? People are lying to themselves if they say hdd and sdd are the same.

fr0sty413d ago

You mean play R&C at 720p 30fps and still have stuttering on mechanical HDDs... Fixed that for you.

Ps5conehead413d ago

Sony must of hurt your feelings. They said it couldn’t run on ps4.some pc have faster drives and ssc and m.2 drives. Where ps4 dose not

PS5 isn't really that high spec, any PC from the past 6 or so years (providing those older PCs used higher end hardware) should be able to play it easily in high/ultra high, the only extra thing people may have to pick is an SSD. You're overestimating the PS5 and underestimating PCs.

raWfodog414d ago

The original game came out almost 4 years ago, and the Directors Cut was released almost 3 years ago. Why do some PS fans hate that this is coming to PC?

In my opinion, this is a good way to build more of a fan base in preparation for the sequel.

purple101414d ago

Don’t know. Who says they hate it coming to pc, if you see where they are il go ask them why, no qualms

FinalFantasyFanatic413d ago

Try the Steam forums, half an hour after announcement, and it's a sh*t storm, I would not even bother going there right now.

FinalFantasyFanatic412d ago

@disagrees,
Where is the lie? That's exactly what happened.

414d ago
thorstein414d ago

No one hates that you get to play an amazing beautiful game.

itsmebryan414d ago

@raW
The reason they hate it now is because when Microsoft put games on PC Sony fans would say "Xbox has no games. " But, I don't hear them saying that anymore especially when Sony doesn't have any 1st party games scheduled till next year.

For some reason they feel games are better if they are only on PlayStation and when it goes to PC they feel less special .

raWfodog414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

I could understand it more if it was released on PC the same day or even close to the original PS release date. You’d like to think that was the reason that you invested in buying PS, to play their ‘exclusive’ games. But I would think 3 or 4 years is long enough to make you feel ‘special’. It shouldn’t take away your love or enjoyment of the game because PC gamers will be able to enjoy it now.

Ps5conehead413d ago

I’m a big time ps5 person. It dose not bother me at all. I might get it for my pc that’s decked out with a 4080 and play it again . It gives others a chance to play on pc. It also gives Sony another revenue source . Then they can make mote games with a higher return on investment .

helicoptergirl414d ago

I'm being very honest. I have really not seen a single PS fan, at this point, upset that it's coming to PC. Doing this helps Sony fund their massive budget GOTY contender games that we ALL love.

raWfodog414d ago

I’m sure some of the 10 million purchasers of Ghost are not happy it’s going to PC. Some people are just like that. My question was just more wondering why that is. It’s not as if it takes away the fun that you had with the game. It just simply comes down to being petty I think.

414d ago
helicoptergirl414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

@ Alatreon, there is no outrage from 99% of PS fans i bet

Ironmike413d ago

Is this joke this site being full of ppl whinging g about it coming to pc

helicoptergirl413d ago

No there aren't. Next to no one is arguing about it coming to PC. People are happy it's coming to PC. now if it was going to Xbox, then that'd be a different story I would think.

Sephiroushin413d ago

oh go steam forum or here, see the dislike people get when they ask the fanboys why they are upset that the game is coming to PC, a couple of months before ghost 2 gets announced for ps5 by sony ...

Probably talking about the only exclusives matter crowed. It's a fanboy arguement. When xbox started on pc the console war goal posts shifted and it was .... xbox has no exclusives because I can just skip xbox and get a pc. But now the same could be said for a Playstation. It's a stupid argument 🙄. Give the gamers options. Some people forgot they were the consumer and fed into the companies hands.

raWfodog413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

If a company is trying to push their consoles, then exclusive titles are a must. That’s why PS and Nintendo are killing it in their console sales. PS still has exclusives for a while before they are dev’d for PC, and that timeline is becoming shorter these days. I personally think that’s a winning formula for pushing both hardware and software, rather than releasing day one on PC. You’ll always have consumers who’ll want to play the game as soon as possible rather than wait for an arbitrary PC release date.

InUrFoxHole413d ago

I don't think these companies will care too much longer about consoles. You're gonna be able to play psn and xbl on a TV.

The graphics of this game will finally get to shine on a proper platform.

thorstein414d ago

This game is beautiful on PS5. What are you talking about?

TheColbertinator414d ago

I am merely stating the truth. No further discussion is required.

KillaJamm414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

The presentation is very decent in most areas on PlayStation, but god are some of the textures pretty bad. The mountain sides and rocky terrain stand out the most, but the foliage is some of the best I've ever seen, especially with the leaves blowing in the wind. The lighting was superb as well. Will love to see the Digital Foundry comparison when it's released.

DazaMc413d ago

You're welcome to our table scraps

RaidenBlack413d ago

The gap's diminishing for newer releases. Forbidden West PC coming 2 years after PS5 and TLOU 1 Remake: 6 months after. And PS live-services are coming day 1 to PC.
All the "PS will never do ____ " claims are being proven false gradually ... just because: business.
So not saying that it'll happen soon .... but one day, most PS releases will launch simultaneously on PC and PS5/6.
And if not day 1 ... then at most, only 6 months apart.

fr0sty413d ago

6 months after, for a remake of a years old game, not the best point to make.

YOUDIEMOFO413d ago

And the game is still trash.

fr0sty413d ago

Sales and reviews couldn't disagree more. Definitely an opinion of the vocal minority.

Hopefully this means they are going to stop laying off staff members then

BlackTar187262d ago

Why don't you just stay in the SOnic and Mario threads? Your comment history makes it obvious you hate Sony.

Kneetos262d ago (Edited 262d ago )

Well maybe if they didn't pull stuff like this I wouldn't hate them, stop trying to award them a free pass

The playstation fans here fly off the handle whenever Nintendo releases a game for $60 (for some reason), yet the so-called "video game industry leader" lays off hundreds of staff and we are just ment to shut up and consume apparently

Kneetos260d ago

You clearly haven't read my comment history, the only times I've complained about Sony is when they have been indulging in mass layoffs, which, how are you guys ok with that?

You do realise that all these amazing, world class video games Sony are making, and in this thread, promising to keep making come off the hard work of the very staff that Sony are fire-ing, why are you trying to defend them?

Oh wow, I totally forgot about Bungie's 'Marathon' and did actually confuse it with 'Concord' over the last several months thinking to myself "Wow that game looked so promising when it was announced and now it turned into this."

Man, just had to re-watch that trailer again now of 'Marathon'. Looks so good & interesting in its art style.

However, I am getting a little bit nervous about the "in order to consistently and continuously release hit titles.”

I mean no doubt about it - I wish the PS Studios to do exactly this.

But I also just wish they keep their cool.

Don't they rush things, don't they crunch ppl.

I really wish for the PS Studios to have a great working atmosphere and that Hermen Hulst knows better than Ryan about not putting studios under pressure.

S2Killinit262d ago

Watch concord blow it up. Most of the hate for that game is by people that didn’t play the Beta.

FinalFantasyFanatic262d ago

Nah, it's dead in the water, I can't see how that game can succeed without major changes to the gameplay, and even then, those terrible/forgettable character designs are going to hold them back.

I'm predicting a flop at best.

TheNamelessOne262d ago

It had an open beta and nobody wanted to play it. What makes you think they'll now pay $40 for it?

S2Killinit262d ago

Actually, those that played it had a positive feedback, but then the negative press caught up. I wonder if they will be able to tank it, or if it can endure the initial pre-emptive bad press and come out serving crow for dinner.

PapaBop262d ago

I was excited to get my hands on it after it's first reveal, played in the betas.. there is certainly a lot of positives for the game but there is also a lot of negatives. The game isn't ready for release, not by a long shot. There is some great ideas there but just doesn't come together. None of the modes in the beta really pieces all the strings together in say the same way OW did with their limited but focused game modes. Then stupid things like having the character's pronouns on every character screen is akin to slapping jam on your testicles and dangling them to the anti-woke mob.

If they can't even get high numbers for an open beta, how are they going to get people to pay £40 for it? I actually enjoyed it enough that I'd buy it if it was going to take off but there is no point as it's almost certain to be featured in the ps plus monthly games before the year's end.

Elda262d ago

It'll be a flop. Most PS5 owners are not paying $40 to play Concord.

Wasn’t that the plan before?

Lightning77262d ago (Edited 262d ago )

It is. They're factoring gaas titles which is why things are being slowed down the past year or so. Sony has never done gaas before from a first party standpoint.

We all know if they never went gaas it would be buissness as usual from most if not all their first party right now.

Have you ever seen God of War, Horizon, Death Stranding, or FF7 go from 16:9 on PS to 32:9 on PC? Its like a totally new experience! 120FPS helps too.

just_looken304d ago

yet be it on console or pc aloy will never be in the center of the screen that always got to me.

Oh and the framerate drops on ps5 never played H2 on pc yet.

But yeah you can not beat pc for the xess/fsr on any game with any card and that ultra wide when a game support's it.

I have been enjoying some days gone native 4k maxed out at 120fps locked.

Eonjay303d ago

Nixxes is really off the charts with their PC support. Honestly Sony made a really good choice by purchasing them.

Fishy Fingers304d ago (Edited 304d ago )

"Major" exaggeration but sounds fancier than "improved upscaling over FSR3"

The actual interesting thing with FSR3.1 is theyve decoupled the frame gen so you can use it with a better upscaler, DLSS (useful if you dont have a 40 series).

Tacoboto304d ago

I'd say it is pretty major though. Five Nixxes titles in one day, their entire PS5-PC portfolio including their earliest port Spider-Man Remastered.

It's rare seeing a unified approach like this covering years of titles. Nixxes must have an incredibly thorough and consistent tech stack to pull this off

Fishy Fingers304d ago (Edited 304d ago )

Agree. Impressive support.

Although im sure you actually understood what I was saying. Its an decent incrimental update to AMDs upscaling software which is arguably the worst of the big 3 solutions. Native, these games still look better, as they do with DLSS.

Tacoboto304d ago

Oh yeah I upvoted you too, totally understand what you're saying (and I know my framing of "major" is different than the article's)

just_looken304d ago

It shows what a real port studio is unlike iron galaxy

I agree its rare but i also see it as a sad situation with the millions/billions made we should have seen this with many many other games in mass updates. But sadly only a few games are using 40 series tech then fs3 can be used on any game but the big features are per game dependent its like come on now.

Atleast when you see nixxes you know your getting a quality port.
