Ghost of Tsushima on PC Won’t Be Released in Specific Countries Due to PSN Restrictions and Here’s the List

Following the huge controversy regarding Helldivers 2 on PC’s mandatory PlayStation Store account linking that Sony had to reverse due to massive backlash, it seems Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut on PC will have the same purchasing restrictions, though this one is known right off the bat.

As of today, a bunch of countries has been added to the purchase restriction in the game’s files per the game’s entry on SteamDB. Check out the confirmed list of countries that are technically restricted from purchasing the game due to its PSN account requirement (these countries officially isn’t supported by PSN).

Same as with Helldivers 2 where it wasn’t Arrowhead Game Studios’ call in doing this, we highly doubt Nixxes Software, the studio porting the game to PC from Sucker Punch Productions’ original work, is the one at fault here.

Ironically, one of the countries listed is Japan, which is where Ghost of Tsushima is based. Of course, there are ways to bypass this restriction, but there is the risk of your account being banned and whatnot.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut will be released this May 16 on PC. While we can’t speak on the port’s technical performance, we can vouch for its gameplay.
