Steam Deck support

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!

Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT - Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut PC launch details - Steam News

Hey everyone, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is releasing on PC soon. We're excited for you to experience Jin's journey, the Iki Island expansion, and Legends co-op multiplayer! You can now pre-load the game on Steam. By doing so, you can download the game ahead of its release on May 16. Ghost...

I mean that’s fine I think. SP on the Deck would be great… unless you live in 100+ non PSN countries …

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Right, so going forward don't expect any Sony multiplayer games to work on Steam Deck due to their shitty interface needing windows to run...

Why the fuck is it even necessary outside of needing those bloody engagement numbers?

Edit: Also, how can it be verified if there are features that don't work?

 

[Topher]

So that means no trophy integration for Steam Deck.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

So that means no trophy integration for Steam Deck.

Steam already has it's own system though.

Also would this mean I don't need to make a PSN account in order to play the actual game?

 

[adamsapple]

What about Rog ally? It doesn't have a curated environment like Steam deck so it should have everything, right ?

 

[Topher]

Steam already has it's own system though.

Yeah, but I'm talking about PlayStation trophies. Could be that they will sync up when I'm playing on Windows I guess.

Also would this mean I don't need to make a PSN account in order to play the actual game?

It is optional either way unless you live in one of the restricted countries.

What about Rog ally?

Rog Ally runs Windows

 

[Jigsaah]

I never played the multiplayer of GoT. Is it Co-op?

 

[EverydayBeast]

Ghost of Tsushima is something pc players wanted for the record I played it in 2021 and historic Japan is great.

 

[JCK75]

It sucks but at the same time.. I'm after the SP only.

 

[Sleepwalker]

So that means no trophy integration for Steam Deck.

Hopefully with steam cloud saves you will just have to launch the game on PC, load up your save and your trophies will pop up.

 

[Topher]

Draugoth The paragraph you quoted says that the game is "Unsupported for Steam Deck". That means it is not "Verified".

 

[BennyBlanco]

It’s just a login guys! PC master whiners!

This is why people push back on things like this. At some point in the future anything that requires a login will be unusable. The hoops you have to jump through to get something like Rayman Legends working on Steam Deck is retarded and it’s all because of their dumb login shit.

I'll let someone else be the guinea pig on that. I'm pretty stoked about trophy integration so I'll just play on my PC.

This is what PC voted for.

Yeah, it's pretty fucking stupid to be honest. These third party launchers and interfaces don't belong on Steam, it is its own DRM and launcher. At least Ubisoft and EA games let you play the multiplayer (unless the anti cheat isn't supported). Although I really can't stand those launchers.

As long as you don't move to Azerbaijan or Antarctica.

 

[Klosshufvud]

It's always going to be a gamble with a Linux/Proton handheld. You get a highly customized OS but it comes at the cost in topic. To those wondering, any Windows handheld will work fine since these games recognize it the same as any PC.

 

[BennyBlanco]

This is what PC voted for.

Is it? they just voted the PSN login to the shadow realm in HD2

 

[Sleepwalker]

I moonlight to my deck most of the time nowadays anyway for max settings + rtx at 1080p/90fps with insane battery life.

Also use Chiaki a lot, cant remember the last time I played something natively on deck.

 

[Drell]

I guess "Steam Deck Verified" doesn't mean it's a Linux native version?

Same as BG3 with no local co-op on Steam deck.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Is it? they just voted the PSN login to the shadow realm in HD2

Yes, and now they will just block sales in non-PSN countries and multiplayer on Steamdeck.

 

[BennyBlanco]

So now you understand why people complained and it wasn’t pointless whining

Good point. I've streamed using Steam's streaming functionality before and that seemed pretty good. Is moonlight better?

 

[Sleepwalker]

Yup, supports HDR as well.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

I understand it alright, but it is pointless and petty, even more so since Sony still does this.

 

[Klosshufvud]

Playing this on my handheld, and wow. FSR3 and Framegen are game changers for handheld gaming. I'm playing the game at 1200p with FSR3 set to balanced. Settings are a mix between low/med/high and wow. It looks amazing in motion on the small screen. I don't feel any noticeable delay from Framegen setting at all. And the visual clarity makes the combat so much better and visuals also. I didn't much care for FSR1 and 2 but I feel like this one hides the aliasing so much better. This is a high quality release.

 

[Quasicat]

This could be why I can’t sign into PSN. I was wondering why it kept popping up with an error.
