Have we all managed to recover from that PlayStation 5 blowout? Okay, good, because here's another tidbit for you concerning what games we expect to play on that next-gen system. Of course, Ghost of Tsushima will be playable on the PS5 via backwards compatibility, but according to Sony, it is still being developed as a PlayStation 4 game.
Buried at the bottom of its own PS5 update on the PlayStation Blog, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan says: "While there’s much more to share about PlayStation 5 in the year ahead, we have plenty of blockbuster experiences coming your way on PS4, including Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima."
Sucker Punch's new IP hasn't been seen since E3 2018, and with the likes of other PS4 exclusives Death Stranding and The Last of Us: Part II taking up vital holiday and early 2020 slots on the release calendar, it was easy to assume that Ghost of Tsushima had been made to wait for the PS5. That doesn't seem to be the case, however. According to Sony at least, the title is still on course for a release at some point next year on its current-gen system.
Were you hoping that Ghost of Tsushima had been turned into a PS5 game? Let us know in the comments below.

Could release anytime from March up until August.
I'm good knowing it is targeting PS4 with those graphics. Truly a testament that you get the most out of a system near the end of the generation. Of course, if it looks this good on PS4, imagine what the PS5 enhancements will look like.
I think people forget that PS5 will be backwards compatible to (at least) the PS4 so it won't hurt the game for it to release on PS4 in the lead up to PS5
i was starting to think it would be a cross gen game releasing when the ps5 is about to release a month later.
but i also like to think that we will get an info blowout similar to the info blowout regarding TLOU after TLOU comes out,with a release date summer 2020. yes a state of play about ghosts will start the info blowout just like TLOU.
@Octane "Could release anytime from March up until August."
That's funny, I was thinking "September" before reading your post. And I'm still thinking September. If PS5 isn't out until November that's a couple of months in between, which should be fine.
I think I will focus only on my backlog until the PS5 is released. I'm pretty sure most of the big games coming out in March will have a PS5 release less than a year later. I'd rather wait and enjoy them in the best conditions.
@rjejr It could even be November as a multi gen release launching alongside PS5 and also available on PS4.
Still reckon we're getting a "definitive edition" on PS5, or maybe even a cross-gen launch, although the latter seems a bit less likely now.
June before e3 is the release date for ghost of tshushima.word up son
I still think it’s going to be cross-gen.
@get2sammyb Ghost of Tsushima is likely release in August or September is my guess
Honestly I'm just hoping theirs some awesome new games at launch just for PS5. That's what's gonna get me to buy it day one.
The last big exclusive for PS4, no doubt Ghost is going to be amazing . PS4 will truly go out with a bang.
PS4 or not, at this point I'd very much be surprised if there wasn't also a super-duper-ultra-gorgeous PS5 version for launch. Backwards compatible the PS5 may be, I bet some people would be willing to wait on a version that was upgraded for the new-gen.
@get2sammyb If it's on PS4 it'll be cross-gen out the gate. I know what you mean but I'd assume it'll just look nicer on a PS5 in the same way a Pro game looks nicer than on a standard PS4.
@Gatatog Imagine not having to re-buy games when you upgrade to a PS5 and your games just look nicer. It's expensive enough having to buy a new console as it is without having to re-buy (not very) old games every gen upgrade.
Well of course it is. Why wouldn't it be a ps4 game anymore. Jeez
"According to Sony at least, the title is still on course for a release at some point next year on its current-gen system."
Sounds like "The Last Guardian" all over again
I want to play it with 4k & 60 fps support on ps5
I kept telling people it still going be a ps4 game people didn’t believe me. Sony probably got bunch of exclusive games line up for ps5 launch window so they wouldn’t have to take exclusives games away from ps4 to give to ps5.
As I said so what do I win PushSquare community?
My guess is also May, before E3, so then they have the last exclusives out and then they can focus on PS5 build up after that.
@PhantomXIII thats what I have been trying to tell people.. I dont think they understand that even if you get the ps4 version ..they will have a ps5 patch to bring it to that current version.
@PhantomXIII It would be nice to have upgraded graphics on PS5 with a PS4 game like the PS4 Pro. But remasters are making them a LOT of money with minimal efforts, so don't think they will ever stop selling remastered versions. Even on PC they sell barely remastered versions like that turd Skyrim
