Is Ghost of Tsushima coming to the PlayStation 5? Well, it’s perhaps worth noting that the title is massively enhanced if you put a PlayStation 4 copy into Sony’s next-gen console anyway, as it runs at 60 frames-per-second in 4K courtesy of backwards compatibility. But fans have been pondering whether a native port may be in the pipeline, and a brief slip up on the resume of Dave Molloy, Sucker Punch’s cinematics creative director, has been taken as potential confirmation.
The page has, of course, since been edited. It originally said: “Presently working on the Ghost of Tsushima game for Sony PS5.” It’s since been altered to: “Presently working on the Ghost of Tsushima game for Sony PlayStation.” There’s a screenshot of the original text included below:
So, what’s the deal here? Our assumption is that it’s just an error, although it’s intriguing that the text has been changed to the more generic ‘Sony PlayStation’ terminology, rather than ‘Sony PS4’ specifically. We suppose some kind of remaster, like Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. It’s also possible that Molloy may be working on some kind of sequel, which we can infer from job listings is in development now.
Ghost of Tsushima was a huge success for Sony – potentially even beyond expectations. As such, it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing more of it on the PS5. Whether this resume is evidence of that, however, we’re not so sure – time will tell, we suppose.

I thought “Presently working on the Ghost of Tsushima game for Sony PS5" means a sequel.
But it's backwards compatible with improvements that would make no sense???
Likely a sequel or just was referring to the ps5 focused patch that was already out and he didn’t update his profile...very much doubt they’d remaster such a recent game for PS5 without a sequel or spin off game attached, a la Spider-Man
@wiiware Could do as well!
I was waiting to see if they were launching a PS5 version before buying the PS4 version... I was about to buy with the new 60 FPS patch... now I might have to wait a little longer lol
Considering the PS4 version already looks great and runs in 4K60fps on the PS5 I don't need a native PS5 version
@mariomaster96 Yeah, It would be nice if it used the new controller features and stuff, but even if they did that + raytracing, that's still a tough sell considering the state of the PS4 version
it ran great for me on PS5.. i don't have 4K tv, so graphics mode still ran at a flawless 60fps for me. sure, they could add a few bells and whistles to the graphics, but it already looks great, i think it'd be hard to justify the need for a native port. i just recently uninstalled it, after putting in about 100 hours.. finished a new game+ "speed" run (ie it wasn't that fast ) and about 20-30 hrs into legends - managed to finish all the legends story at bronze level solo, but silver level with the modifiers was just too difficult..
Mm, I just bought it to play on my PS5 and have just started it this weekend. Now I maybe should have waited. Well at least its 60 fps otherwise I would play God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn, or Uncharted 4, but still waiting for updates on those.
Just shows how text can be misleading - I would of thought that 'A' Ghost of Tsushima game would be indicative of a sequel but 'THE' GoT game would refer to the current and only one - unless they said the GoT franchise...
Whilst we know GoT has been patched to take advantage of more of the hardware in the PS5, its still running in a BC type mode and no doubt could be 'ported' to use the full potential of the PS5.
Dave Molloy spilt the beans!!
Pretty sure it’s not running @4K but @ 1800p. Still great but not quite 4K. This game does not need a remaster. Can’t wait for the sequel tho!!!
As long as it has a seperate trophy list and is priced reasonably, i'm in!
Of course they'll sell a PS5 version. 2 or 3 years from now when PS4 is but a memory and people are perusing video games in stores or online nobody is going to be looking for PS4 games to be playing on their PS5, people will be looking for PS5 games to play on their PS5.
And in 2 or 3 years some people will have never owned a PS4, maybe an Xbox or a Switch, or maybe it's their first console b/c they're young. So they won't have a PS4 copy, and they won't be looking to buy PS4 copies, they'll want the box or the download to say PS5 before paying.
Not sure how much the game can be improved but I'm sure they'll think of something.
That reads like a sequel not a port
I bought this when I had the PS4 Pro and put off playing it until I got the PS5.
Now I shall put it to the bottom of the list of my games to play and wait and see what happens re a native port.
@Mysterio if you are fine with 1080p you can play god of war at 60fps on PS5. I just finished it yesterday and it still looked great at the resolution.
Of course if you have the disc version you can run it unpatched and get it at whatever resolution the quality mode runs in at 60fps too since it didn’t have a 30fps cap.
@Glassneedles I have the PS Plus collection as I never owned a PS4. For now, I'm going to wait for an update. I tried switching back to 1080p, but the difference with the resolution mode is quite significant I think. If no PS5 update/Remaster is available in the time when Ragnarok has come out, I'll probably play it on 30 fps (or 1080p) nonetheless, but for now I can still play Ghost of Tsushima, Hitman 3 (incl. Hitman 1 and 2), and many other games. I'm really hoping they will update these games. God of War has such a high rating, I'm probably not going to skip it due to its 30 fps limit, but we'll see haha.
I don't get it. I'm pretty sure I already played the PS5 version of Ghost of Tsushima. What else is Sucker Punch supposed to add to it.
They don't a phenomenal job with the PS5 patch.
I hope they won't waste no resources for a port that just doesn't need a port.
I hope it just means it is the sequel of Ghost of Tsushima.
If it's not too much work to make a native ps5 update with ray tracing, why not, though I would prefer a sequel.
@rjejr Bonus swimsuit content.
@Mysterio that makes sense! As someone who skipped God of War at the time it came out and only really played it on PS5 (I bought it in 2019 and got a few hours into it before stopping because the PS4 Pro was so bloody loud) I definitely recommend playing it.
I don't understand why they haven't gone back to more games and updated them, especially the Last of Us Part 2 which is only a few months old...
I think developers should give consumers more options and have resolution and frame rate limits individual so any future consoles with backwards compatibility can brute force to 4k60.
@Glassneedles Exactly, especially for the games that are already 60 fps in the disc version. It sounds to me like an easy adjustment to remove the 30 fps cap for PS5, but maybe I'm wrong. At least, it cannot be game breaking (calculations based on frame times) if it already supported 60 fps to start with.
@Mysterio I saw speculation (I think on one of the digital foundry videos about Ghost, Days Gone or Jedi Fallen Order) that they would need to use the latest Playstation SDK to get a patch out and moving could cause bugs etc.
Of course I'd argue that doing a patch so a game runs better on PS5 gives it a new lease on life and more sales but what do I know.
@Glassneedles that would be a good explanation if that's the case. I still hope they will do it for those games. I started Horizon Zero Dawn and the beginning just wasn't very smooth in the cave and that is why I stopped. Don't know if it was only the 30 fps as TLOU2 was much 'smoother' although you definitely notice the 30 fps too of course. I can't explain the 'smoother', but HZD was making me nauseous. First Ghost of Tsushima and then I will see what the future brings.
@NEStalgia I was kinda hoping for Hello Kitty skins. 😉
@rjejr That's only for Gamestop preorders on the Collector's Edition.
@deathaxe The Last Of Us was released at the very end of the PS3's lifespan (June 2013) and a remastered version was released (full price) for PS4 (July 2014). I reckon we'll get a full phat physical PS5 release of Ghost and TLOU Part II (packed in with the first game and the multiplayer). A double-pack of the Horizon games when the new one releases and another (complete) Uncharted Collection! (The Nathan Drake Collection is six years old now). We know a Bloodborne remaster is coming and I reckon that'll be packed in with Bloodborne 2 - we know From Software are working on 2 games at the moment, Elden Ring and Bloodborne 2 has to be the second title
Sony will want to bring all their legacy titles over to PS5 (and of course we'll pay for them all again!)
@NEStalgia Gamestop will be bankrupt by then. Or have a $1,000 share price. But you can only purchase the shares with Bitcoin. Or turnips. But not on Sundays. Is it 2022 yet?
@rjejr No, it's still 2021.
@Custom1991 Still feels like 2020. 🤷♀️
@rjejr sounds like you've been spending to much time focusing on everyone else's life, the news, and memes, your life is what you make of it, you don't need to be generic and play the fiddle of OMG 2020 IS SO TERRIBLE, and is it 2022 yet.
I've never played it. If you were to compare it to another game, what would it play like? (if any)?
@get2sammyb Don't do this to me!
I was waiting to play it on PS5 and was just about to pull the trigger this weekend!!!
Seriously though that looks far more like a sequel to me.
I would rather have a new game. Ghost of Tsushima doesn't need a remaster.
@Subsided Considering I don't know you, I think you're spending too much of your life on my life. 🤣
@rjejr well someone has to, it's wasting away from neglect
@Subsided Well I was wasting away in Margaritaville but I ran out of salt. Thanks for caring though I guess.
