Sony has released the specifications needed for the upcoming PC release of Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT, and it seems like it scales quite well so it should run on the Steam Deck (and Desktop Linux will no doubt be fine).
An exciting upcoming release, which many have wanted to see on PC since the original PlayStation release in 2020. Sony are treating their PC fans quite well nowadays though with so many titles releasing.
Here's the specs for those that want to see (click to enlarge):
Going by that, at least on Steam Deck, we might see it stick around 30FPS and be reasonably playable. Considering it's coming with NVIDIA DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3 and Intel XeSS it should be good across a wide range of hardware.
Curiously, this is also the first Sony release on PC that will come with the new PlayStation overlay. As per the announcement, Sony mentions this includes access to your Friends list, Trophies, Settings, and your Profile. So you'll be able to earn PlayStation Trophies, but it will also work just fine with Steam Achievements too. This PlayStation overlay is entirely optional though, which is good to see and will look something like this:
I'm not really one to care about achievements and trophies, but a nice touch for those that do, further bridging the gap between traditional consoles and PCs. Although it remains to be seen if this new overlay works with Proton, but I'm sure Valve will update it to get it working if it doesn't initially.
Previous PC trailer if you missed it:
Direct Link
It releases on PC on May 16th. Will you be picking it up?

I'd say give it some time since they did release God of War this year on GOG.
im starting to think with the Playstation overlay being introduced and integrated with the game it might mean it wont be drm free ever.
From what I read, the Playstation overlay is optional if you're only playing single player but mandatory for multiplayer. Not sure if that'll be a problem whenever they decide to release it on GOG since there's cross play with PC (Steam, Epic) and PS5, which might not be a problem for them to implement on GOG unless I'm wrong. GOG does provide crossplay documentation for those that want to implement it with their platform: https://docs.gog.com/sdk-crossplay/#:~:text=To%20allow%20multiplayer%20connections%20between,the%20GOG%20GALAXY%20Multiplayer%20feature.
