As the PC launch of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut approaches on May 16, Nixxes Software, the developer behind the port, has disclosed the necessary specifications. Surprisingly, many players will find the hardware demands quite manageable, as most of the listed components are four years old or even older. Concerns arose about the performance of the Director’s Cut, which includes the Iki Island expansion and the cooperative online mode, Legends, in Ghost of Tsushima.

But here's the good news for PC enthusiasts. It appears that PCs dating back to 2017 or even 2019 should be capable of running the new port smoothly. Below, you'll find a breakdown of the recommended, minimum, and optimal requirements for the Director’s Cut of Ghost of Tsushima.

Recommended PC Requirements

The developers recommend using NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT for graphics, paired with an Intel Core i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an SSD with a minimum of 77GB storage. This setup can deliver 60 FPS at 1080p, offering satisfactory performance, especially considering the age of the listed hardware.

Minimum PC Requirements

For basic performance, players should utilize an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, an Intel Core i3-7100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU, 8GB RAM, and an HDD with 75GB of free space. This configuration allows for 720p resolution at 30 FPS. To enhance gameplay smoothness, Nixxes Software recommends an SSD over an HDD.

Best Performance and Ultra Graphics Mode Requirements

For 4K resolution at 60 FPS, players need NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT, an Intel Core i5-11400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, 16GB RAM, and an SSD with 75GB storage. If the top-tier 4K performance isn't a priority, players can opt for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 for 1440p at 60 FPS, the second-best performance setting.
