Ghost of Tsushimawill have a day one patch when it releases on PS4 next month, it has been revealed. Just yesterday, developer Sucker Punch Productionsconfirmed thatGhost of Tsushimahad gone gold, meaning that the team can now but its full weight behind post-launch updates.
TheGhost of Tsushimaday one patch will be 7.7GB, and with the average Internet speed in the United States being 18.7mb/s, it would take players just under seven minutes to download the patch and enjoy the game.

The update, which is reportedly available through the PlayStation Store’s servers, features “various localization fixes” and “other bug fixes”. The patch notes don’t provide any more information than that though this has likely been done on purpose by Sucker Punch Productions to avoid anyGhost of Tsushimastoryspoilers from hitting the web. The last first-party PS4 exclusive,The Last of Us Part 2, was leaked heavily online before release and few would want to see anything like that happen withGhost of Tsushima.
Some fans may be surprised at how big theGhost of Tsushimaday one update is. It’s not as large as, say, theday one patch forKingdom Come Deliverancewhich was bigger than some full game releases, but it could take those on slower Internet connections a while to download. For comparison, the full game ofGhost of Tsushimahas a file size of 50GB, making this patch nearly a fifth of that.
However, it’s understandable that Sucker Punch Productions has found so many bugs in the game given how grand the game’s map is. The developer has confirmed thatGhost of Tsushimais the biggest game it has developed, larger than the games in theinFamousseries, which were also open-world adventures.
Gamers have seen countless bugs in other open-world games, such as characters falling through the floor, character faces not loading properly, and story progression being blocked.Ghost of Tsushimawill also be the last, major PS4 exclusive before thePS5 releases in holiday 2020and Sucker Punch Productions will want its release to go as smoothly as it possible can. That may mean having to wait a little longer before jumping into the game, but a 7.7GB update seems like a small price for a seamless experience.
Ghost of Tsushimalaunches on July 17, exclusively for the PlayStation 4.
