What might not seem like a long time ago is this past July as Sucker Punch Productions unleashed its latest AAA project, Ghost of Tsushima. Since its announcement earlier this generation cycle, many were surprised to realize the title would be one of the last additions ahead of the next-generation PlayStation 5 console. And now almost three months after the game’s release, new details has surfaced on the game recently.
In that, Sucker Punch Productions announces that Ghost of Tsushima’s online mode, Legends, will be arriving in a update later this month. The new mode will include two and four-player co-op with dedicated classes and a leveling system for fans to grow each character. However, it does not end there according to a new break of news today.
On Twitter, the Washington-based developer spares that Ghost of Tsushima will be supported for PlayStation 5 backwards compatibility. Even more, the team also discloses that the title will be compatible for the Game Boost feature and offer 60 frames per second performance.
The announcement greenlit by Sony Interactive Entertainment reiterates on a previous statement made by the firm: that about 99 percent of PlayStation 4 games will be available to play on the next-generation hardware. Howbeit, despite the amount of games supported including PlayStation VR titles, there are still some that will remain unique to PlayStation 4. Sony shared roughly a dozen games already that will not be playable on the newer consoles.
