It is claimed that Ghost of Tsushima will get a PC port announcement as early as next week Tuesday. The claim came from none other than Shpeshal_Nick of XboxEra. The XboxEra co-founder took to X to make the announcement yesterday.
“I’m hearing that we might be getting something about the Ghost of Tsushima PC port pretty soon,” Nick wrote on X. “Maybe around the 5th?”
If there is any reason why the user should be taken seriously, it is because they predicted almost all the games that were showcased at the January 31 State of Play. Nick had made the revelation through a cryptic tweet. The predictions came to pass almost as Nick had predicted.

“On the 31st (roughly), Ronins will Rise, we’ll die stranded, have a rebirth and Kojima will fulfill his dream,” Nick wrote days before the official announcement. “Sonic will live in the shadow of his generation while the hills will remain silent until the dawn when you’ll need to catch the metro. Just don’t be a Judas about it.”
There are lots of reasons to believe that Sony may be considering bringing Ghost of Tsushima to PC. Following the great performance of Helldivers 2—the first Sony’s first part title to come to PC on launch day—Sony is mulling over bringing more of its IPs to PC.
In the company’s latest earnings report, the president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Hiroki Totoki mentioned that the company will be more aggressive with revenue, especially in its gaming division. It makes logical and financial sense for Sony to bring Ghost of Tsushima to PC since it is almost four years since it was first released.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant published in October last year, Stahelski said the script was complete after 2 years.
“I think the two things that I am closest and most interested in are Highlander and Ghost of Tsushima,” Stahelski said. “Both amazing, amazing properties, the story of Ghost is, also, one of my favorite properties of all time.”
In the interview, it was mentioned that Stahelski wants an all-Japanese cast who can talk in their native tongue to enhance the movie’s authenticity. It was also said that Stahelski draws inspiration from Akira Kurosawa, a legendary Japanese filmmaker, and some of the elements from his style of movies will be pulled into Ghost of Tsushima.
For those who may be unfamiliar with Ghost of Tsushima, the game follows the story of Jin Sakai, a samurai who is on a mission to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. The game was developed by Sucker Punch Productions. It won in the Best Art Direction category at The Game Awards 2020.
