Sucker Punch’s samurai epic just got a stealthy PC upgrade: Patch 8 grants Steam Deck Verified status to the single-player campaign, separates the online Legends co-op into a free DLC for Director’s Cut owners, and rolls in UI tweaks, a Deck-tuned graphics preset, plus an AMD FSR update to 3.1.4.

Launched in 2020 on PS4 and expanded with a Director’s Cut in 2021, Ghost of Tsushima later crossed to PC. Now, more than a year after its Steam debut, the game gets quality-of-life upgrades aimed at portable play. Note that Deck verification currently applies only to the single-player mode; Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is spun out as its own Steam DLC, free if you own the Director’s Cut. The campaign remains PSN-free, while Legends still requires a PSN account.

Under the hood, Patch 8 adds a graphics preset tailored for Deck, streamlines UI elements, and updates AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution to version 3.1.4 for smoother performance. PC players with a Radeon RX 9000-series GPU can even force FSR 4 via AMD’s driver; once enabled at the driver level, the launcher and in-game menu reflect the change.
