Sucker Punch released the Director's Cut for Ghost of Tsushima back in 2021 for the PlayStation 4 and 5. This brings a few quality-of-life changes to the PS5 version of the game and adds an expansion that sees Jin Sakai venture into the neighboring island of Iki. Here are all the new changes introduced alongside the Director's Cut.

• The game now runs at a dynamic resolution of 4K 60 FPS
• Decreased loading times.
• Real-time cutscenes
• Full Japanese Lipsync
• Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Trigger Support
• 3D audio support
• Enemy lock-on
• Alternate button styles
• The Iki Island expansion that adds new skills, side content, and more

Keep in mind that only the Iki Island expansion is available on the PlayStation 4 version of the Director's Cut. Features such as Enemy lock-on and Alternate button styles were added later as part of a free update for the PS4 owners.

The same features will be making their way to the PC when Ghost of Tsushima releases later this month on May 16, 2024.
