Does Ghost of Tsushima have co-op or multiplayer?
Ghost of Tsushima has co-op multiplayer, but not in the story: Jin's campaign is single-player only. For co-op, the game includes Legends, a separate online mode where two players team up for story missions and up to four players take on survival and raid missions. There is no local split-screen co-op, so each player needs their own copy and console or PC.
How Legends co-op works
- Online only. Each player plays on their own device with their own copy of the game.
- 2-player story missions based on Japanese folklore.
- 4-player survival against waves of enemies, plus a raid for coordinated teams.
- Four classes: Samurai, Hunter, Ronin and Assassin, each with its own role.
- Included with the game. Legends came as a free update in 2020 and is part of the Director's Cut and the PC version.
On PlayStation you need a PlayStation Plus subscription to play Legends online. Requirements for the PC version may differ, so check the store page.
How long the game takes
The main story usually takes about 25–30 hours; completing most side content can take 50–60 hours or more, and the Iki Island expansion in the Director's Cut adds more.
