Part 4/8:
A Timing Advantage and Potential PlayStation 5 Integration
Considering the rollout timeframe, this DLC is set to launch alongside the PlayStation 5, possibly serving as a launch window highlight for Sony’s new console. Since all Ghost of Tsushima titles are backward compatible and are expected to perform well on the next-gen platform, this synchronization could boost sales and user engagement during the console’s initial launch phase.
The anticipation is that Ghost of Tsushima might act as a quasi-launch title for PS5, supplementing the lineup alongside titles like Marvel’s Miles Morales. The synergy of free, substantial DLC coinciding with the new hardware’s release could bolster both the game’s extended lifespan and Sony’s evolving ecosystem.
