Ghost of Tsushima Surprises With Free DLC Update
In a welcome and unexpected move, the PC version of the beloved open-world game Ghost of Tsushima has just received a significant free update. This new DLC isn’t adding fresh content, but it’s dramatically expanding how and where players can experience part of the game.

The surprise update centers on Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the game’s highly-praised cooperative multiplayer mode. Players have discovered that Legends is now officially Steam Deck Verified, meaning it runs smoothly and is fully supported on Valve’s popular handheld PC.
For fans who love to game on the go, this is fantastic news. The epic, samurai-themed battles of Legends can now be taken anywhere, making the Steam Deck an even more compelling platform for portable play.
But that’s not all. This update has also made Ghost of Tsushima: Legends available in several regions where it was previously locked or unavailable. This opens the doors for a new wave of players around the world to join the fight.
One fan perfectly captured the sentiment online, reacting with, “Wow. This update made the game available to those countries previously unavailable.” Another simply stated, “I didn’t even know this game had multiplayer,” highlighting how this update might introduce the mode to a whole new audience.
For those unfamiliar, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is a free, wave-based co-op experience that was added to the original game after its launch. It’s set in a supernatural, nightmarish version of Tsushima and allows players to choose from four distinct character classes: Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, and Assassin.
The mode features deep progression, with players able to acquire new weapons and powerful outfits that can also be used in the main single-player story. It became so popular that it was later released as a standalone product.
It’s important to note that on PC, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is free to download only for those who own the base Ghost of Tsushima game. For everyone else, it is available as a separate purchase.
