People, read the developers comments:
We know many of you are eager to play Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck. We’re happy to share that the single player experience, including the Iki Island expansion, can be enjoyed on Steam Deck and similar handheld gaming PCs as we’ve worked extensively to optimize performance and deliver the best possible experience on these devices. You may notice that Steam marks the game as ‘Unsupported’ for Steam Deck. This is due to the Legends co-op multiplayer mode requiring Windows to access PlayStation Network integrated features. On behalf of everyone at Nixxes and Sucker Punch, we can’t wait for PC players to start their adventure and fight for the freedom of Tsushima!

They strictly say that unfortunately it requires Windows to access PSN integrated features, so the multiplayer will not work because it requires said features. The singleplayer should work though. Since Concord is completely multiplayer, it needs the PSN features that only work on Windows.

So did they code themselves into a corner because of malice or incompetence?
It is well known that many multiplayer games like Valorant do not work on Linux due to kernel anticheat. Unfortunately, this is a part of Linux gaming life.

this is only mildly better then the conclusion jump. I am almost strictly single player, but the ideology of paying full price(which is becoming increasingly common to be 70$) for a game that I won’t actually be able to use all the features of… it’s not very appealing to me. Granted it isn’t fair of me to expect it since the company doesn’t advertise it as being non-windows friendly, but it still doesn’t mean I need to buy it. If they want my support, they will need to at bare minimum have it be proton/wine compatible, even if shitty support. If I can’t mark that box it’s a solid not buying. It’s a statistics case, if there are enough people like me, companies would change.
You won’t let us install a rootkit on your system? :-(
Well no multiplayer for you, cheater! >:-(
Fuck 'em then. I’ll stop playing video games before I switch to windows, but I’m sure there will always be indie devs willing to take my money in exchange for a playable game.
The lesson here is don’t buy anything from Sony because you don’t get what you bought. Sony is a dead company. Don’t even pirate their shit. Let the corpse rot where it falls.
But the dualsense has such a nice wireless touchpad
Any decent controller suggestions if I don’t care about Xbox or Playstation controllers?
8bitdo or King Kong 2
Sadly I also primarily use a DualSense, specifically for the touchpad.
But I love the 8bitdo for emulators, and the King Kong for racing games.
My KingKong 3’s are good, my only advice is don’t switch the triggers into digital mode while pressing the trigger, it breaks the internal mechanism.
However I managed to convince them to send me a repair kit rather than doing a replacement, which worked out really well. They’re very easy to repair.
My 2.4ghz 8bitdo controller is awesome
Does it? In my experience the touchpad is by far the worst feature of the DualSense.
Good to know. I won’t buy it. Yoho yoho I guess
This is especially egregious when you remember the PS4 and PS5 operating system are themselves based on FreeBSD, meaning the original game was natively targeting a Unix-like OS to begin with. So to then say it won’t run on Linux is a huge middle finger.
Funny how all the games that don’t work on Linux also want your data must just be a technical thing though sure they aren’t being malicious.
this is going to do a better job of getting me to not play their game then they’re helldivers 2 scandal. I’m avoiding Windows like the plague now and currently the only game I have to jump back to Windows for his Beast of Bermuda and I don’t play that one all that often. There’s no way in hell I’m going to even consider buying a new games that won’t work on via Proton lol
Stop buying Playstation games, Sony have always been scummy.
Back in PS3 days Sony were the ones that let you install any hard drive you wanted, didn’t make you pay for multiplayer, and let you install Linux on your PS3.
But now they are worse overall.
Might as well say “stop buying AAA games”, as they all are made by corporations, who are, as we know, scummy.
But we aren’t gonna stop, are we? Like, I don’t even play them, I play retro and indie games, but an occasional AAA still slips in.Pretty much this, yeah. Triple A games used to be the ones pushing the envelope, now they are exclusively just cash grabs.
Dude, speak for yourself, the last AAA title I bought was MH:W at massive discout many years after the next iteration released. I’ve never even considered a AAA title that wasn’t several years old already, that have had plenty of time to show exactly how scummy they are.
First of all, I never said I buy them on release. I pretty much but all of my games on discount. Except for Factorio.
And also, you tell me to speak for myself and then immediately admit to buying an occasional AAA. So turns out I was speaking for you, too.
But most importantly, the point was that my statement will be true for vast majority of people. They aren’t gonna stop buying AAA games.Hmm, when people say “stop buying AAA games” it’s usually a sentiment similar to “stop preordering games”. A purchase long after release and at a heavy discount isn’t really economically relevant, especially after the next product has been out for several years.
When you said you let a AAA game in occassionally, it seemed like you were saying you bought something like GoT when it released on your platform, and that people will continue to do that. Saying that people need to stop buying AAA games is about forcing AAA studios to change, and to stop allowing them to clown around. If everyone stopped buying AAA games on release year, that’s already 90% as effective as ignoring the bargin bin sales too.
So maybe you were speaking for me, but I think you did that poorly. The purchases that allow AAA studios to continue being dickwads are about as far removed from my purchases as you can get without learning how to hoist a sail, and even those up for consideration are eliminated 9 times out of 10. Trying to accuse me of funding the race-to-the-bottom enshitification is missing the mark.
Japanese companies have anything other than utter contempt and animosity for your customers challenge (impossible)
As someone who’s lived in Japan for nearly a decade now, what are you on about? There are certainly shitty companies, as anywhere, but this is just wrong.
Just the big game studios in Japan are pretty anti-consumer and shitty to their customers.
That is a statement I definitely can agree with in some ways. I think some of it is cultural difference and expectation being different between many western consumers versus Japanese. I think Japanese are far more used to certain practices and won’t push back as much and, generally, also make up most of the companies’ income. Not that I think that means something doesn’t need to or shouldn’t be fixed, but what I see from being here.
You ever hear about a small indie game company called nintendo
Yes. You have now named two whole companies but your complaint was leveraged at literally every company in the country.
I’ve heard how the work culture can be pretty toxic but the amount of thought and care put into every aspect of the experience amazes me. Shame, sony was one of my favorite companies for AV equipment but their newer devices are just not as good as they used to be.
This poor judgement seems to be mostly from the PlayStation decision but I can help to think this is a sign overall company culture shift.
It’s like the drop in quality at Toyota resulting in defects never heard of before (airbag defects, melting wing mirors, faulty screens) or the first Honda I’ve ever owned where the engine had a defect affecting multiple cars in their lineup making it dump gas into the oil.
Sony already stopped selling their games in my country due to them not wanting to put Estonia in the PSN country selection list but I guess I’ll pirate their games even harder or something.
PS4 is jailbreakable up until FW 11.00 as of recently. It’s a super easy process and is definitely worth it, for anyone interested
Headline is misleading since it gives impression Sony is intentionally going out of their way to prevent the game from working through Proton, but this is more the case of multiplayer component not working.
So you are saying that I can run the game but it will show me this error if I try to start multiplayer?
Guess I won’t be playing Playstation games.
What in the hell is the point of this?
enshittification machine go brr
wonder how much money microsoft gave them to do this
