Ghost of Tsushima, 2020’s silver-medal game of the year, received a massive overhaul for PlayStation 5. The processing power of PS5 took the base game’s beauty and gameplay to a whole new level inGhost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut.

Thankfully, the team at Sucker Punch made it easy for returning players.
Will my PS4 save data transfer to the Director’s Cut?
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutprompts you to transfer your PS4 saved data as soon as you load the game for the first time. Follow the on-screen prompts, and be sure to choose your most recent save. However, if you decide to jump right in, you can still transfer data by selectingTransfer PS4 Console Savefrom the main menu.
To ensure you’re using your most recent save, go into the base game, load up the story, and manually save. The timestamp will now be today’s date (or whatever day you first play the game). Then, go back into theDirector’s Cutand transfer your data. However, this is all contingent on yourGhost of Tsushimasaved data already being moved to your PS5’s hard drive or an external hard drive connected to the system. However, we recommend keeping save data on the main hard drive.
