10 Ghost of Tsushima Screenshots That Showcase PS4’s Peak Graphics

Ghost of Tsushima is an absolutely stunning game with visuals and graphics that make your heart go all fuzzy. We’ve put together a few screenshots from the first few hours of the game that show just how beautiful it is.

While Ghost of Tsushima has a rather extensive photo mode that easily enhances images, these particular screenshots have no graphical alterations other than occasionally moving Jin out of the way for a better angle.

So, the screenshots you’ll be seeing are visuals you will normally be able to see within the game as you cruise around Tsushima.

As these images come from in-game, there will be minor spoilers. However, none particularly spoil the story.

Right at the start of the game, we’re already treated to some aesthetically pleasing samurai against the backdrop of smoke, darkness, and the moon.

One of the reasons Ghost of Tsushima is so gorgeous is because of its very dynamic and realistic lighting. You only get treated to a little bit of it in this shot but it’s a great introduction to what the rest of the game will hold.

The game isn’t afraid to show you just how beautiful nature can be. There’s something so serene about nature and Ghost of Tsushima is able to capture this peace very easily with a gorgeous background and a beautiful red tree.

The lighting in this game is so painfully dynamic and amazing that it will ruin playing literally any other game after this.

You don’t often see a game’s lighting react so easily to objects within the world so seeing the gorgeous glint of a sword as it reacts to the moon’s light is just poetic as hell.

There’s a location known as the Golden Forest within the game that is, as the name suggests, rather golden.

Trees and fallen leaves are colored a beautiful vibrant yellow and you’ll honestly never get tired of visiting the area at any time of day. Add in the sunset on occasion and the area becomes weaponized beauty.

With pink tinted clouds, a setting sun cresting over the hilltop, and tall grass being blown gently by the breeze, you’re easily treated to one of many serene and dynamic sights within the world of Tsushima.

The lighting in Ghost of Tsushima enhances scenery and landscapes that are already beautiful. Add in the moon’s light realistically casting over the grass and through trees and you get an immersive environment that comes right out of a movie.

Ghost of Tsushima’s map may not be that big compared to other games but it makes up for it in its gorgeous landscapes and scenery. This image could easily be mistaken as a piece of art or even a painting with how beautiful the game’s environments are.

And the game doesn’t hide the fact that everything is stunning. In gameplay exploration and in the story, there are often wide shots of the environment and scenes set in front of beautiful lighting.

Even with the war and invasion plaguing Tsushima Island, there are still moments where the sun, the sky, and the land come together to make a rather scenic and peaceful setting.

When that happens, you can easily forget the violence and hardships people are facing even if it’s just for a few seconds.

Did we mention how beautiful Ghost of Tsushima is yet? So many elements on their own are stunning like the wind moving the grass and sunlight coming through trees but when they all come together, that’s when you get something truly marvelous.

Our last screenshot has Jin and his trusty horse (Kage best name) majestically riding off into the sunset to fight some bad guys.

The sky, the shadows, the lighting, the dust on the horizon, and the Japanese architecture together show how unique the setting in Ghost of Tsushima really is. So many parts and pieces fit together to create a beautiful game.
