Sony has been slowly building its own ecosystem. While God of War and Spider-Man launched on Steam, Ghost of Tsushima could be the title that forces PlayStation PC Launcher (codenamed “Runepa”) into existence. “Exclusive” would then mean exclusive to that launcher, much like Rockstar’s Social Club or Ubisoft Connect.
The official PC release had excellent localization, but the "Multi26" variant allegedly includes fan-edited localizations for niche dialects—Corsican, Latvian, and even a classical Japanese (Bungo) option that re-writes the subtitles in archaic script. For purists seeking the authentic Kamakura period tone, this is a game-changer.
Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure game set in 1274 Japan during the first Mongol invasion. The game follows the story of Jin Sakai, a samurai who becomes the Ghost, a legendary warrior fighting against the invading forces.

If the keyword holds weight, it suggests that Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut will not launch simultaneously on Steam, but rather on a competing launcher (possibly Epic Games Store or a new Sony PC launcher codenamed “Runepa”) for a limited time.
By 2026, the PC hardware landscape will have advanced significantly. The PS5 version of Ghost of Tsushima runs at upscaled 4K at 60 FPS, but a “Multi26” PC release promises to shatter those limitations. By 2026, the PC hardware landscape will have
“Runepa” could be a phonetic distortion of “Runner’s Epic” or simply a red herring for the Epic Games Store. Epic has a history of securing high-profile exclusives. A six-month “Runepa exclusive” window would see the game on EGS first, followed by Steam in 2027.
