Ghost of Tsushima: How to Uncover the Map

In Ghost of Tsushima, there is a way to lift the fog of war from the entire map and highlight every point of interest. Here’s how.

One player shared their own terrifying encounter with a bug that was truly colossal in sheer scale. Reddit user Low-Professional-667 shared a clip of their Ghost of Tsushima playthrough, which prominently featured what appeared to be a glitching moth or butterfly. In contrast to the standard-sized critters seen in other gameplay videos, this bug in particular was a kaiju-sized monstrosity, which evoked both fear and awe from the user.

Ghost of Tsushima Players Horrified By Colossal Bug

Fans shared the user's sentiments, with many fellow players speculating on how such a massive bug might even appear in Ghost of Tsushima and what happened to the game's code that led to it spawning such a gigantic insect. Several users additionally made references to the kaiju Mothra, a benevolent colossal moth and a popular recurring character in the Godzilla franchise. One user even jokingly claimed Low-Professional-667 accidentally discovered secret assets for an upcoming DLC, which would feature Jin fighting off an invasion of giant kaiju monsters.

Despite some bugs, Ghost of Tsushima's PC version is still regarded by players as an example of an expertly managed port for its general stability and array of graphical options suited for a wide range of desktops of varying capabilities. Players have also begun to extensively mod Ghost of Tsushima on their PCs, with a host of graphical and quality-of-life mods available to download for free.
