As
part
of
Sony’s
plans
to
expand
further
into
the
PC
gaming
market,
the
company
has
announced
that
PlayStation
Trophies
are
coming
to
PC
courtesy
of
a
new
PlayStation
Overlay,
starting
with
the
excellent

Ghost
of
Tsushima.

The
news
was
kept
rather
lowkey,
though,
inside
a

PlayStation
Blog
post
detailing
Ghost
of
Tsushima’s
system
requirements
and
crossplay
functionality.

“Ghost
of
Tsushima
Director’s
Cut
is
the
first
PlayStation
title
on
PC
that
uses
a
new
PlayStation
overlay,
which
includes
your
Friends
list,
Trophies,
Settings,
and
your
Profile.”
reads
the
blog
post.

The
new
overlay
will
be
accessible
by
pressing
Shift+F1.

“While
playing
the
game,
you
can
earn
PlayStation
Trophies
just
like
on
PlayStation
consoles.
Ghost
of
Tsushima
Director’s
Cut
on
PC
shares
the
same
Trophy
set
as
the
game
on
PlayStation
5
consoles”

Interestingly,
the
blog
post
also
notes
that
the
PC
version
and
the
console
versions
of
Ghost
of
Tsushima
won’t
be
treated
as
separate
games
in
terms
of
Trophies.
In
other
words,
if
you
choose
to
connect
your
existing
PlayStation
account,
any
trophies
you’ve
earned
in
the
console
version
will
automatically
unlock
on
the
PC
version
and
vice-versa.

Steam
and
Epic
Games
Store
achievements
are
fully
supported,
too.

As
the
first
game
to
fully
support
Trophies
on
PC
Ghost
of
Tsushima
is
leading
the
charge
and
presumably
all
PlayStation
games
on
PC
from
now
on
will
also
feature
Trophy
support.
The
big
question
will
be
whether
Sony
will
go
back
and
add
Trophy
support
to
its
other
existing
titles
such
as

Helldivers
2,

Horizon:
Forbidden
West
and
so
on.

Putting
aside
the
Trophies,
the
blog
post
went
into
detail
about
some
of
the
crossplay
features
that
Ghost
of
Tsushima
will
have.
PS4,
PS5
and
PC
players
will
all
be
able
to
team-up
for
the
co-operative
Legends
mode.

Finally,
the
system
requirements
for
Ghost
of
Tsushima
were
also
announced
and
they
aren’t
too
heavy
so
a
wide
audience
should
be
able
to
enjoy
the
action.
