There are several key differences between the original and the Director’s Cut. While these changes were initially apparent with the release of the PlayStation version of the Director’s Cut, many have since been added to the PC version. For many, the enhanced version represents a definitive way to experience Ghost of Tsushima, captivating players with its meticulous attention to detail and immersive world-building.

The most substantial addition to the Director's Cut is the Iki Island expansion.

The expansion adds approximately 10-15 hours of gameplay, significantly extending the game's longevity and providing further insight into Jin's character development.
