The official Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut PC system requirements were revealed today, highlighting how the game will run well on a wide range of system specifications as well as making it shine on high-end PCs.
The game’s system requirements, which can be found below, detail which CPU, GPU, and amount of RAM are required for multiple presets and average performance. To achieve 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, players will need a rather beefy system, as Nixxes recommends Intel Core i5-11400, AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPUs, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPUs. As previously announced, Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut will also support NVIDIA DLSS 3, AMD FSR3, and Intel XeSS, so users should be able to squeeze a little bit more performance out of their system with the use of these upscalers.
