Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is the first PlayStation title on PC that uses a new PlayStation overlay, which includes your Friends list, Trophies, Settings, and your Profile. This feature is available on Windows PCs and will be accessible from the in-game menu or, for keyboard players, by pressing the “SHIFT +F1” shortcut on your keyboard.
Doesn’t the Steam overlay already do this?
It does, but Sony didn’t go through the crash and burn phase on PC yet so they need to add their own fancy overlay before killing it in a few years.
If you read the article you’d know that it’s for cross platform progress of trophies and it also includes your PlayStation friends. Neither of which Steam does
You can’t see your achievements for a Steam game in the overlay? I rarely ever use it, but that seems like something that must be there. Are we talking about the Shift+Tab overlay, or something else?
Playstation trophies and steam achievements are two different platforms. Why would playstation trophies be tied to your steam account?
PlayStation trophies and PlayStation friends.
Oh, well yeah, of course. I can’t see my Xbox Achievements on PlayStation, etc.
It sounds like you can access your actual PS network friends and earn PS trophies. I hope that is in addition to achievements on Steam itself and not a replacement. I would imagine many people getting the PC version don’t have a PlayStation in the first place.
