Ghost of Tsushima, the PlayStation exclusive feudal Japan epic that took the world by storm this summer, just underwent a massive update, which added a number of new modes and elements to the popular title. A new version, entitled patch 1.13, addressed a number of issues that came as a result of that update.
The game set a record as the fastest selling new IP in the history of PlayStation 4. It tells the story of Jin Sakai, a Samurai who has to lay down his code of honor to become The Ghost, a legendary figure that strikes from the shadows to ward off the invading Mongol army.
The original update included a number of new modes, including New Game Plus and a multiplayer version called Ghost of Tsushima: Legends.

The patch also addresses an issue players have been reporting, where they do no receive the proper Platinum Trophy armor dyes when starting a new game in New Game Plus.
