Is the free DLC available for all platforms?

Yes, the free DLC separation applies on PC for those who own Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut . Previously packaged multiplayer now requires manual download of the “Legends” DLC, at no extra cost. On other platforms (PlayStation 4/5) this change may not apply the same way.

Do I need a PlayStation Network account to play the single-player?

No, the single-player campaign runs independently and does not require a PSN account. However, if you want to access the multiplayer Legends mode, a PlayStation Network account is required.

What does “Steam Deck Verified” mean for this game?

Steam Deck Verified is a label by Valve indicating the game meets defined criteria for performance, controls, and user experience on the Steam Deck handheld. With Patch 8, the single-player component of Ghost of Tsushima has earned this badge.
