Ghost of Tsushima Gets Steam Deck Verified With Dedicated Graphics Preset In Newest Patch

The Kingdom series is one of my favorites to play when I have downtime, and Humble has a great new bundle to celebrate its birthday! The Humble Kingdom 10th Anniversary bundle is a great deal to get some relaxing, enjoyable games that are all very playable on the Steam Deck.

I know I have said this many times, but I find it incredible that we can play PlayStation games on the Steam Deck. While it started with Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima really stuck out to me. I had not beaten the game on PlayStation, so now I had a chance to play it through on the go, and it's awesome. While it was playable on the Steam Deck at release, its online multiplayer mode, Legends, was not compatible, which stopped the game from getting the green checkmark. However, today's update has made some changes, and the game is now Steam Deck Verified!

There were a couple of big changes that came from the update to get the badge, but the biggest one is separating the Legends mode into a separate DLC on Steam. It's a completely free DLC, but by separating it, it's no longer included in the base game and evaluated for the badge. There were also some UI optimizations for the Deck, a dedicated graphical preset, other performance optimizations, and an update to the FSR upscaling to 3.1.4.

This ultimately separates the singleplayer version of the game, which makes it completely Steam Deck Verified! Now, they can wear the green checkmark proudly, and honestly, I think it deserves it. It was already very playable apart from the multiplayer mode, so now I would say it has a badge that accurately reflects the game's performance.

They also fixed an audio bug, a crash from Steam Input, and when enabling FSR 4 in the driver, the game will now display the version in the menu.
