I am 42 and have owned at least one console from every generation since the NES and this is the first time I am skipping it and just going with PC. I love that the consoles seem to be increasingly considering the PC as neutral ground to release on. Now if only Nintendo would follow suit but I know better than that.
Ghost of Tsushima is playable in all countries without a PSN account. It’s literally just the multiplayer, which is pretty much the last thing anyone cares about in a game like this.
Helldivers also no longer requires a PSN account. Can we move on?
To put that in context, Ghost of Tsushima’s player count is currently sitting higher than player peaks on Steam for Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, The Last of Us, Days Gone, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Days Gone. [sic]
It’s only being beaten by Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, God of War, and of course – Helldivers 2.
It runs great for me.
Highest settings on my PC run smoothly (I tested on Linux Mint and Windows 11) and I‘m even getting 40-60 fps on my Steam Deck with adaptable resolution enabled.
