Sucker Punch Productions has recently released significant updates for Ghost of Tsushima on Steam, enhancing gameplay and compatibility with the Steam Deck. The focus of this update includes both performance improvements and the availability of free downloadable content (DLC).
Steam Deck Compatibility and Updates
The latest Steam update for Ghost of Tsushima ensures full compatibility with the Steam Deck. This update, labeled Patch 8, introduces a dedicated graphics preset tailored for the device. Additionally, the user interface has been adjusted to fit the smaller screen.
Free DLC Announcement
As part of the new content, the Legends mode has been launched as free DLC. This mode can be downloaded separately, providing an engaging multiplayer experience for players who own or purchase the Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut. For existing players, there are no changes to their experience.
Key Features of the Update
- Full Steam Deck verification
- Free Legends DLC available for download

Benefits of Separation
The decision to separate the Legends mode from the main game is primarily aimed at improving compatibility and stability on various devices. Notably, this change allows players to access the single-player campaign without the need for a PlayStation Network (PSN) ID. This enhancement addresses prior connectivity issues some players faced.
Multiplayer Access Requirements
- New players must activate the free Legends DLC once to access online multiplayer.
- An active PlayStation Network Account is required for Legends mode.
In addition to these changes, the update has implemented several crash fixes and other bug fixes. Players can find further details in the comprehensive Patch 8 notes available on Steam. This slew of updates aims to elevate the gaming experience and ensure seamless play on the Steam Deck.
