Ghost of Tsushima is an upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive that is owned in its entirety by Sony. That means it's incredibly unlikely to launch on other platforms outside of PlayStation Now streaming, but it hasn't stopped PC players from taking to Twitter and voicing their dismay. They really want to play Ghost of Tsushima on their Personal Computers, it seems.
This all comes off the back of the recent news that the MLB The Show franchise will now be coming to other consoles, which we assume is because the Japanese giant was faced with the possibility of losing the license altogether. Coupled with the fact that some of PlayStation's most hardcore fans are feeling a little too vulnerable at the moment, and you have the recipe for some classic juvenile arguments across social media website Twitter.
Just searching for "Ghost of Tsushima PC" returns various results of boasting and questions aimed at Sucker Punch and Sony executives questioning when the PC port will arrive, and even polls questioning users which platform they will be purchasing the game on. Some of it may be taken in a joking manner, but there are some mean spirited folk out there. One of whom even went as far as tweeting former Sony Worldwide Studios chairman Shawn Layden a plea to return to his job at PlayStation. Layden even liked the tweet! Cheeky Shawn, very cheeky.

At least we can take pleasure in learning that this is just a very small minority of the PC community. A petition has been running for the past three years now asking for Sucker Punch to bring the game to other platforms, and as we all know, petitions never work anyway. Regardless, said petition has received a grand total of 3030 signatures across three years.
You need not worry everyone, Ghost of Tsushima is going nowhere. What do you make of all this bad language? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Ah the PC master race... always good for a laugh!
Either buy a ps4 if they really want to play the game, or wait 2-3 years when it comes to psnow lol.
The š» ghost aint coming to pee si .rat master š race.get a ps4.join the best console makers.ever.word up son
Hey PC players I have a solution for you:
1. Buy a PS4 now.
2. Buy Ghost of Tsushima when it comes out.
3. Download the Remote Play app for PC on your clapped out rig from 2010.
4. Play the game that way.
Problem solved
@chase2ghosts I smell a language warning coming on. You must be new around these parts. Welcome.
The whole ps4 gang thing is so corny loool
People are so pathetic nowadays.
@Turismo4GT I play PS4 games on my Surface Book all the time thanks to the Remote Play app.
Being someone who constantly has to share a TV and rarely gets an opportunity to use it for myself, streaming to PC has saved both my PS4 Pro and my Xbox One X from being dust collectors.
The way Sony behaves, I really could see this happen. Jim Ryan is the wrong man for the job. Bring back Shawn Layden.
@JAMes-BroWWWn
Lol š
Eh, Iād love to have games like this on PC but it wonāt happen, they have to sell systems after all. In a perfect world, games wouldnāt be bound to systems and we could play Mario on the PS4 and Halo on the Switch but thatās not how the industry works and itās a bit unrealistic to expect anything else.
tf wrong w these imbeciles lol
before requesting got to be on pc
request for uc4, bb, tlour, hzd, gow to come to pc first
@Futureshark itās funny how they are so convinced PC is the best and only relevant platform there is yet they always get angry when clearly obvious playstation and nintendo exclusives donāt come to pc.
PCMR: "Ha! Look at these console peasants and their ridiculously shallow games!"
Also PCMR: "Oh my god. this game looks so good! Please bring it to PC!"
If ever there was an example of how the PCMR value visuals above all else.
@wiiware
Nah, I keep reading about PC Master Race striving for playability on PS3 emulators... They refuse to pay for a last gen console, that's their mindset so don't expect them to stoop as low as to buy a console.
The nasty gamerz!!!
Plot twist,, Xbox gamers will need sign up on PSN to play The Show
@Turismo4GT I thought it was gonna be
1. Buy a PS4 now
2. Curse at the sky when itās outdated in one year just like the device youāre already using š
Oh Lord. And they'll be more salty when the extended trailer hits the Game Awards. Tomorrow will be a day to remember: the haters outrage if Death Stranding wins GotY, the salty PC fanboys begging for GoT on PC, and a few other surprises.
I think it's bad business for Sony give their exclusives to other platforms, but unless it changes the way I play on PS4, I really don't care.
I think you meant, "isn't going anywhere" which refers to constancy and steadfastness. "Going nowhere" in suggests the game is stuck in development Hell and not progressing.
Well, I'd suggest emulating PS4 on their Master Race rigs, and play these games with 900 frames per second. But oh wait, most of their rigs can hardly handle 30fps on normal third-party games.
PC gamers always act like they have the best platform, why aren't they satisfied with it then? I mean it's not that hard to just buy a damn console, have the PC and enjoy it all.
They just gotta b!tch about something.
Just like a lot of PS4 owners pleaded for Bayonetta 2, and a lot of Switch owners pleaded for Persona 5.
Turns out people don't like being excluded from exciting games on their platform of choice!
Lul. I'm a PC Master Race and would welcome this game on PC. That being said, I own a PS4, and will buy it on there and play the balls out of it.
Also, these comments smh. Don't pretend that console master race attitude is any better than PC master race attitude. Some of these comments are so ironic it is unreal.
Either way, GIEF GAME NOW, WE CAN'T WAIT!!
@ztpayne7 Nah, I leave it to them to figure that out for themselves.
I was desperate to play Zelda BOTW, Bayonetta 2 and all the Switch exclusives, so guess what i done? I bought a Switch so i can play them. If PC players we really want these games then either save up and buy a PS4 (what are pretty cheap now) or wait until they appear on Now.
Exclusivity is always a bad deal for consumers as a whole.
They talk trash all the time about console games and Sony exclusives. And now this????
I'd rather play games on a PC than a Console just to have a better experience, but I guess GoT is one of those games that's gonna stay in the realm of exclusivity. No need to be salty, tho!
PC fanboys are so pathetic.
@nessisonett This type of comment is alwats silly. None of these games would exist if they were not exclusive. Nintendo only puts effort into Mario because its exusive and it was the same with Halo. GoT only exists because its exclusive. Notice Sony has published and created the most games since they entered gaming. More games than any third party. Why do you think they put out so many games? Duh, they needed to sell PlayStation. So once again people like you are illogical. If every game was on every platform than they would not be as good. Look at Sega now.
its not coming to pc, so buy a ps4 or ps5 and stop whining, lol
@Flurpsel Was not bad for me since I have no problem buying all platforms as any gamer should do and real gamers do if other platforms have games you want. Its simple so customers (consumers is the wrong term) can purchase that specific platform. You don't go to Ford and complain about not being able to buy a Mercedes. No, you go to Mercedes. The only customers this is bad for are childish fanboys who refuse to buy a PS4 like these sorry port begging PC fanboys. Never heard this crap in the past and never hear people say this crap in person. All I see in person are people buying PS4 and Switch. Just seen someone buy a PS4 yesterday at Walmart. What is stopping PC beggers from doing the same?
@GodGamer Saying multiplat games arenāt as good as exclusives is just as silly. Surely selling games on multiple consoles would lead them to put more effort in, given theyād reach a wider audience and have the chance to sell more games? Hell, Nintendo phoned in their first-party games on Wii U and that console had terrible third-party support and was the main reason it flopped. Also, saying that exclusivity is no problem for you since you can buy every platform is beyond moronic, frankly not every āreal gamerā can afford every console. Or, in fact, they have other responsibilities that come first such as a mortgage, children, food shopping, take your pick.
I mean.... why not? We can see Sony testing the waters with it. Iād rather save myself Ā£400-500 next Crimbo.
Also kinda funny reading the tone of the end of this article compared to MLBs š......... ā...you need not worry everyoneā
@nessisonett Overall third party is low quality. I know because I have played enough to compare. Common sense would tell you they use less resources since the game has to run on multiple platforms. Look at how bad the RDR2 port on PC (so called master race LOL) is compared to the weaker consoles.
Anyway comparing buying a game console to mortgage or food is ridiculous and everyone does not have a house because they cannot afford it. So what do those people do? They get what they can afford. Gaming is not a necessity so don't compare it to things that are. You lost the argument right there.
You look like a moron comparing a damn game system to food LOL. Hey I can do without a game, but I need food. Guess what? These PC fanboys should not be buying expensive rigs if they don't have the funds to buy a damn PS4. They should have just bought a PS4 instead since its cheaper and they cannot afford everything.
Its simple, they made their choice and have to except that all games will never be on PC. Its not Sony's business to care about some broke PC fanboy. They knew what games were available on which platform so cry me a river budddy.
Hey how about I ask Audi to sell me a car for $50 since I cannot afford the regular price LOL? You sound ridiculous man. These companies are in the business to sell products, not give PC fanboys charity. FOH.
@Ralizah the case with Bayonetta 2 was a bit different because the IP was originally multiplatform on PS3 and 360. Nintendo bought it simply to have more titles for the Wii U, which ultimately (arguably) flopped anyway, at least when compared to just about anything else Nintendo did. Exclusive sell consoles, but don't carry them, which is why Nintendo starts buying up exclusive rights every time they launch a new console.
You are correct about the persona thing, though.
@Beekeeper Bayo 1 being multiplatform is irrelevant. The sequel wouldn't exist at all if Nintendo hadn't bankrolled it. Sony certainly wasn't interested in saving that series.
When you think about it, it makes a lot more sense for Switch owners to beg for Persona 5 (a game that's not multiplatform because of Atlus' stubbornness and little else, seemingly) than for PS4 owners to beg for Bayonetta 2 (a game funded and published by Nintendo).
Thrash breaks it down about competition and the quality of exclusives for peoppe who lack the mental capacity to understand the facts. Starts at 17:39. He spoke all facts like I do.
https://youtu.be/K1Bq9CWmo7k
Elite Port Beggars. Pretentious master racers
@KAPADO With all that power they know they don't have the best looking games. They know their PC is just bark with no bite LOL. Games like GOW, HZD, TLoU2, Uncharted 4 etc destroy all games on PC. It hurts their soul that they are exclusive to PS4. That's the truth and it has nothing to do with anti customer or any noble cause these pathetic wastes of spaces make it out to be. They are worse than Xbots, being fanboys of hardware and specs. Sad
@Flurpsel Always the same reaction most of these games would never been made without Sony.
Isn't this kind of childish? Whats wrong with wanting everyone to be able to play the game? Exclusives are a terrible practice that makes people act like children having the bigger toy "HA I HAVE THIS GAME, YOU LOSE CAUSE YOU GOT THAT ONE"
Why can't we all just enjoy the same game on different platforms? I have a gaming PC and a PS4 and I enjoy both for different genres, but I hate that they don't share the same library.
It's terrible to see how toxic the playstation community can be with these comments, people need to grow up. I'm not saying the PC community are saints, but god try to have some self worth and not insult people for preferences on how they game. This article is an insult and just pushes forward people to bully others and look down on other communities.
@AllTheReddist Another person missing the point. Why do PC fanboys need to come here and port beg? This site is about PlayStation, not PC. I game on Nintendo, but do you see me begging for their games to be everywhere?
You want PS games, then buy a PS. Its that simple. I am tired of repeating the same common sense comment. Nothing is owed to people who do not buy the platform that has exclusive games.
I am really starting to believe some of you people are dense. Port beggers crying about games being exclusive when there are people being killed for their race or being oppressed by their government so their are more important issues than some port begging clown not being able to get certain games on PC.
Tell them to get over it then and no arguments would happen. ššš Exclusives are a terrible practice ššš Yet you only bought a PS4 for the exclusives so shut up you hypocrite.
Yeah companies are terrible for making poor PC fanboys buy their hardware to play a game they feel entitled to. This site is getting dumber than YouTube. Yuck.
People keep talking about play everywhere yet it only applies to Sony games on PC and no where else. I wonder why?
And they call us console peasants, don't be such skint flints, hold off from buying 32 GB of ram upgrade and buy a PS4 along with GoT and u still probably have some change, problem solved
@Ralizah I never said Bayonetta 2 being a Nintendo exclusive was bad or that it didn't make sense, I was only commenting on why people were upset about it.
@AllTheReddist exclusives are not only the only reason to buy a console, they're INCREDIBLY important for consumers and the hobby itself. How anyone can think exclusives are bad is quite baffling and honestly, shows you know nothing about the hobby and need to gravitate to something else before you and your kind ruin it.
Nobody owes you anything, if a company makes a game and they want to support their console, your entitled and extremely misguided view does not give you the right to demand their game for your preferred platform. YOU buy the platform the game YOU want to play, otherwise YOU shut your gob and play one of the multiple thousands of games already at your disposal and move on with your life.
Just because anti-consumer Microsoft is failing so hard they need to give everything to everyone doesn't mean a company doing well needs to follow suit.
I think in reality 90% of PC gamers will also have consoles, I have PS4 Pro, X box 1X and a switch. I play most Multi Plats on the PC at the moment just because it has the best performance and action games are always better at high FPS. My point is even with a PS4 its natural to want games you're excited about to play as well as possible and even the Pro is feeling a little long in the tooth at this point. Luckily Ghost of T. will also release, or at least be playable, on the ps5
@Nintyfan Did I even say I was owed anything? If you had even read the majority of my comment, I had even said I own a ps4. I play my playstation A LOT- that doesn't mean that I wish that other people who prefer different consoles could also play the games that I have on different platforms. I have not 'demanded' anything and it seems your blindly raged around at seeing someone not defending a ps4 exclusive.
@GodGamer And it seems you don't read comments and tend to copy paste the same argument without reading when someone doesn't 100% agree with the statement. I've been on this site longer than you kid, so I didn't just 'come on here and beg'. I'm a playstation fan and I have been for decades- that doesn't mean however that I can also play games on different platforms, PC included.
I commented on how toxic these communities are becoming with one another and how things like these shouldn't be praised. And you are proving my point in insulting my words without reading them, if you had any sort of argument to defend this whole thing I would have respected you and discussed it like an adult. But instead you act like a child who decided insults are better than words.
Lots of salt being sprinkled in these comments today!
I literally created an account here just to say how ridiculous some of these comments are. This article only exists to instigate the age old "PCMR" vs "console peasants" argument. Some comments here are so unbelievalble immature and purile that it makes it seem like the users on this site are all still in middle school. "PC gamers mad cuz we got the best graffics they just jealous!". "PCMR sux WE'RE THE BESSST!". The irony is hilarious. I've always came to this site for PS4 news even though 99% of my time is spent on PC. But this article is pathetic. And so are the comments.
Why does this dumb rivalry have to exist? Boo the other team, fine, but don't boo the fans. Dissapointingly childish behaviour from the lot of you. People who cannot accept that two similar products can exist in the same universe without acting like neandrathals and taking sides FOR NO REASON are the worst. Some of you remind me of angry Justin Bieber fans; if you don't like him its just because you're jealous.
I'm still going to visit this website because you guys have good articles, but this one and its comments are a disgrace.
EDIT
In fact, im specifically calling out Liam Croft. Between this article and his review of The Last Labyrinth, a game written in a fictional language that he thought was Japanese (and so complained that it wasn't translated), he is bringing this site down with his arrogance. Liam, I don't know you personally, and I don't mean to insult you, but you need to realize that some of your articles lately have been, quite frankly, childish. We know you are better than this.
@AllTheReddist
You summed it up perfectly. This article is enraging.
I don't understand why they want to play a game we've seen zero gameplay footage of. Not that I'm not looking forward to this game, but honestly at this point, why would they be so mad about not having access to a game that we've only seen trailers for? It's not like it's anything revolutionary. A samurai game by the people who made Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Infamous?
@Maxt992 They actually released a good chunk of gameplay some time ago, it was really amazing to watch. Look it up, it'll be worth it.
@AllTheReddist Thanks for the heads up. Will do!
And I want Gravity Rush 2 on Switch because wishful thinking is a free action. But wanting unrealistic things without harassing the involved people and companies behind them is so last centu-
looks back at The Little Women series
...so last millennium at most recent, probably.
PC gamers love saying, "PC Master Race". Great exclusives are more important to me than graphics and frame rates. Also, I prefer playing video games on a big screen tv and not a monitor.
I'm buying 2 PS5s just to make PC drones angry
Ahhh tribalism at its peak in this comment section.
@WanderingBullet Dude you can play pc games on a TV too
@Arugula I dont see how 1/5 id a fraction of the cost
@Maxt992 Because it is the closest thing to an Assassin's creed game based in feudal japan, and Assassin's creed is a game you can play on both console and pc, which is why for those of us who only have pc its annoying for games that look dope to be unavailable because you don't have every console
@Turismo4GT I mean 500$ give or take for a new game seems kinda expensive when it would be a lot nicer if like a ton of other console games it were available on pc for those of us who arent as wealthy
@darkswabber Pc isn't necessarily the best but it is the most practical since your pc can be used for so many different things which as a student is indispensable while a ps4 or an xbox are just monetary drains for very little benefit. The issue for me is that Ghost of Tsushima feels like an AC Game (which is playable on PC) and it is a little annoying to be locked out,
@Arugula Pc's are used for much more than just games, while consoles arent making them far more restricting monetarily.
@Sam-Bridges there are few ps4 games that interest me outside of this one, and 500$ for one games seems kind of expensive for a broke student
@GodGamer In no scenario would i ever recommend getting a console over a pc lmao, a pc is vital in this modern day society for doing just about everything while a console is not
Never even heard of this pc vs console debate before until now, but man is it weird seeing all these people getting defensive about the idea of letting people playing games regardless of console. The reason so many pc players are on this website is that, this is the first article that comes up when you search up if the game is available on pc. As someone who games when i don't have university or work and who has little monthly wiggle room to buy games, i find it ridiculous that all these people are getting mad that a "pc gamer" can't just buy a whole console for 1 or 2 games.
People naturally will complain about being locked out of games that look cool because its on a console you don't have, and this article seems to be designed only to turn people against each other for no real reason
@Outlaw9321 I gotchu. Back when I made my comment, I didn't know/think much of this game. Obviously they have shared a bit more footage and gameplay in the last few days. I am SO onboard, it looks great. My opinion just needed to be changed by some visual evidence.
Thanks for the reply! I'm so looking forward to everything coming up; I'm already planning to preorder a PS5 THE SECOND it's available for that.
@Turismo4GT Hmmmm. Maybe some people dont want to have to spend upwards of $300 to buy a ps4, and a controller, and then also buy the game just to play it. They also have to learn the controls for ps4 and get used to them. Id rather not have to spend $300 to play it.
@Arugula Maybe we just want to play a game and not have to spend upwards of $200 to be able to play a game.
These comments are embarrassing. How young are all you? Do you really turn a blind eye to the rage from people that happens to come from console players too? Check the Halo MCC on PC announcement. Or the Horizon Zero Dawn on PC announcement. Or the Persona 4 Golden on PC announcement. Countless more examples out there if you wanna spend the time.
This childish ***** isn't locked to a single platform like you all desperately want to believe. People like to play games on their preferred platform, what a shock. Making what platform you play on part of your identity is the most cringey tribalism ***** I've ever seen. Embarrassing.
@darkswabber Who is "they?" The ones you cherry pick to fit your narrative? Grow up.
@Paranoimia 10/10 confirmation bias. Big yikes my man.
@WalkingFallacies "Big yikes"? And you're asking others how old they are?
FYI: Late 40s, gaming 40+ years, also play on PC... just sick of PCMR acting like the console fanboys they look down on.
@WalkingFallacies bravo, attacking me for a comment I made 8 months ago that I completely forgot about and that I have no way for to provide you the sources you asked for since thereās no way I can find them back.
Also, yes, there are definitely console gamers who port beg for console exclusives to go multiplatform too and they are definitely just as abundant. Switch gamers tweeting #breakfreepersona5 and playstation gamers review bombing astral chain for it being switch exclusive are just as annoying as pc gamers begging for playstation first party games.
I made my original comment before those things happened though.
All you Sony Ponies, including this awful writer, must be crying right now. Such sad little people.
Aged like fine milk , peasants lol
