How to Fix the Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut Ultrawide Cutscenes Issue on PC

The anti-cinema patch!

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut is one of the best PC ports by Nixxes Software so far, and has tons of features you’d expect from a modern PC release. It also has full support for ultrawide monitors during gameplay, but cutscenes have letterboxing which can get in the way of immersion. Thankfully, this neat patch from modder Lyall fixes those issues and removes the black borders from cutscenes.

That’s all you need to do to apply the patch, and the next time you launch the game, all cutscenes, and dialogue sections won’t have any letterboxing anymore. Here are a few screenshots provided by Lyall to show the results.

All credits go to Lyall for creating, and testing the patch. They’ve released similar patches for several other titles in the past including Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, Persona 3: Reload, and more.

How to Remove the Patch

Removing the patch is very simple. All you need to do is delete the files that you extracted in the main installation folder.

Nixxes Software has done a great job with porting multiple PlayStation Studios’ games, and continues to improve the quality of the ports with each release. Both Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut and Horizon Forbidden West run, and look great on a variety of configurations, and are even playable on the Steam Deck with varying degrees of performance.
