Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, a definitive version of Sucker Punch Productions’ 2020 action-adventure game, is cutting its way to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store tomorrow, but Steam Deck players will not be able to access everything that the title has to offer, according to a new post from port expert Nixxes Software that explains how Legends, the game’s co-op multiplayer mode, won’t function on Valve’s handheld due to Windows and PlayStation Network requirements. A PlayStation Network Account is required to access online multiplayer (Legends Mode) and the new PlayStation overlay, reads a warning that can be found on Ghost of Tsushima’s Steam page.
Sucker Punch and Nixxes on what Steam Deck users can expect:
- “We know many of you are eager to play Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck.”
- “We’re happy to share that the single player experience, including the Iki Island expansion, can be enjoyed on Steam Deck and similar handheld gaming PCs as we’ve worked extensively to optimize performance and deliver the best possible experience on these devices.”
- “You may notice that Steam marks the game as ‘Unsupported’ for Steam Deck. This is due to the Legends co-op multiplayer mode requiring Windows to access PlayStation Network integrated features.”
- “On behalf of everyone at Nixxes and Sucker Punch, we can’t wait for PC players to start their adventure and fight for the freedom of Tsushima!”
