While playing the game, you can earn PlayStation Trophies just like on PlayStation consoles. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC shares the same Trophy set as the game on PlayStation 5 consoles*. In addition, the PC version also has full support for Achievements on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
To make use of features like Trophies, Friends list, and cross-play, you can sign in with your existing account for PlayStation Network or create a new account. The use of PlayStation overlay is optional for both the single player experience and Legends mode.

Whoever needs help in legends mode I'm down to play crossplay baybeh!
Thankfully there's no launcher. Steam is the best
This was my fear when I read the headline, but I was gladly surprised.
I Just want Playstation games on PC Day 1. Sony wants to use a Playstation launcher ? Sure, no problem.
Would be nice if they went back and added in support for it with the older PC ports, I would like to earn PS trophies when playing Horizon Forbidden West and Helldivers 2.
Ok pretty cool. Ah PSN account gotcha. I mean for PC users it was always PS Now/PS+ anyway so a further of the PSN account hmm. I mean trophies and Steam achievements sure why not.
Seems more a getting peoples data/still being part of their ecosystems then anything but still a fair bonus.
The crossplay with Legends is a nice benefit.
Overly though no idea how that will go but if funky then well that's unfortunate how they handle these things compared to other overlays and their methods/execution.
Considering Xbox already has PC achievements, this seemed like a no-brainer for PlayStation with trophies.
It appears that it will be a cross-platform list with PS5. Interestingly, I can't think of any PS4/PS5 combined lists, while PS3/PS4, PS3/Vita, PS4/Vita, and PS3/Vita/PS4 lists happened in the past.
I'm curious if I logged into my PSN account for Tsushima on PC, if my Platinum for Tsushima would immediately unlock? I certainly hope it would.
Edit: IT DOES! "Users who connect their existing account for PlayStation Network and unlocked trophies on Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut using the same account on PS5 will have the same Trophies unlocked on the PC version." Awesome!
oh great more. and more things to break. we already see how funky things get when you have the steam overlay, the nvidia overlay, on at the same time as the ea,/ubisoft/cd project overlays.
Yea this is true. Don't get me wrong I think it's a great idea but the overlays have shown to just cause issues. Doesn't happen all the time of course.
