This page lists the controls for all interactions in Ghost of Tsushima and Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. Ghost of Tsushima uses a PlayStation DualShock 4 wireless controller to control the character and interact with the world. On a PlayStation 5, either a DualShock 4 or a DualSense controller can be used to play Ghost of Tsushima; controls are unchanged between the two input methods.

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends[]
Controls in Legends are very similar to that of the base game; however, due to the addition of Gear: certain mythic abilities, Ghost weapons, and Stances are limited to the perks of the gear that the player has equipped. Differences in controls are mainly limited to the D-pad controls, and whatever gear the player has. Due to the lack of a horse in this game mode, there are no horse controls.
