Is Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 or PS5?
In case you had any doubts about which consoles are getting Ghost of Tsushima when the game launches in July, allow us to clear that up for you: the game is launching as a PS4 exclusive, which means you'll only be able to play it on PlayStation 4.
A PS5 release may well follow at some point in the future, but that hasn't been dated yet if it is happening. And you're very much out of luck if you want to play Ghost of Tsushima on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC, Xbox Series X or Google Stadia.

Ghost of Tsushima gameplay - new footage from State Of Play revealed
The first big Ghost of Tsushima gameplay reveal came at E3 2018, and you can watch that video on YouTube at this link!
More recently than that, Sony's May 2020 State Of Play live stream served up a chunky section of in-game footage from Ghost of Tsushima, showcasing exploration mechanics like the guiding wind, along with some stunning visuals and lovely music.
You can take a look at the Ghost of Tsushima-focused State Of Play video right here, and soak up the gameplay in all its glory...
This footage also confirms that Ghost of Tsushima will give players the option of a Japanese voice track with English subtitles. And you'll also be able to spend time in Photo Mode or a movie-style black and white gameplay mode, if that tickles your fancy!
You'll also be able to customise Jin with various outfits, and choose between two combat styles: there's the honourable and thoughtful Samurai way (which has standoffs, blocks, dodges and quick decisions), or the sneaky and stealthy Ghost technique (which has takedowns, roof-running and projectiles).
As we get closer to the July release date of the game, we'd expect to see even more footage from Ghost of Tsushima trickling onto the web, so watch this space!
