Sucker Punch has launched a new Ghost of Tsushima update, making improvements to both the single player game and online Legends mode.

Ghost of Tsushima update 2.18 is now available to download on PS4 and PS5 – you’ll need this latest patch if you want to hop online for some co-op action with your samurai pals.

A lot of focus here is on Legends, the standalone mode being a PlayStation Plus freebie not long ago. If you’ve made the jump to PS5 since then you can import your Legends PS4 save data. There are a wealth of balancing tweaks too – read on to find out more.

Those solely playing through Jin’s revenge quest will benefit from update 2.18 as well with change to New Game Plus and campaign cutscenes.

Added a PS4 Save Import button to Legends standalone builds (Transfer PS4 console Save). Be sure to click “Yes” on the Legends import prompt

Shared Wounds no longer breaks Assassin out of the Vanish skill

Added a new Fill Party goal, Custom Mode – Perfect Completion. This will allow people looking to earn the Hidden Heart cosmetic to search for matches separately from those looking for a different Custom Mode experience Item adjustments:
