Ghost of Tsushima PC release date, features, UK launch time and latest news
When will Jin Sakai slice up our desktop?
PlayStation 5 releases don't come much bigger than Ghost of Tsushima, so naturally its PC port is one of the most anticipated for the platform.
Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the story-driven action-adventure follows one of the last surviving samurai as they look to stop the Mongol invasion in 1274 Japan.
Selling close to 10 million units, it's even been picked up for a movie adaption from the director of John Wick.
For the PC version, lots of new fancy features and updates have been implemented to make Ghost of Tsushima the best version yet. We've also got the official PC specs, so you can sort your set-up in preparation.
For all that and more, here's everything we know about the Ghost of Tsushima PC launch, including its release date and UK launch time.
When is the Ghost of Tsushima PC release date?
Sony has confirmed that Ghost of Tsushima will launch for PC on Thursday 16th May 2024.
It's been quite a long road to the Ghost of Tsushima PC release date, with Sucker Punch Productions first beginning development of the game in 2014 before first bringing the game to PS4 in July 2020 and then a director's cut for PS5 in August 2021.
It was then confirmed in March 2024 that the action-adventure would arrive on PC.
When is the UK launch time for Ghost of Tsushima on PC?
Ghost of Tsushima will be available to play from 7am UK time on 16th May, according to the game's Steam page. This aligns with other PC release times, so don't expect to jump in at midnight.
If you have pre-purchased Ghost of Tsushima, it can be pre-loaded ahead of time. This means you can start playing as soon as the game unlocks.

Yes, Ghost of Tsushima is available for pre-order across both Steam and the Epic Games Store for an RRP of £49.99/$59.99.
