Ghost of Tsushima PS4 exclusives Easter egg pays tribute to God of War, Horizon, and more
Jin is really good at papercraft
A Ghost of Tsushima PS4 exclusive Easter egg solidifies its status as the perfect swansong for seven years of great games.
The Easter egg commemorates many of the best PS4 exclusives that came before Ghost of Tsushima. Before I get any further into details, take heed that this article contains minor Ghost of Tsushima spoilers - nothing specifically about the story itself, just something that happens after the credits roll.
To find the Easter egg, you'll need to complete the main story of Ghost of Tsushima. After that, you'll once again assume control of Jin as he stands in his home. Look closely at the low table with a rack of swords and a single katana laid out on a cloth and you'll spot the Easter egg.
This Easter egg takes the form of a dozen origami pieces scattered across the table, each one representing a specific game, game series, or developer that has contributed to PS4. Starting from the left, we have:
- A red race car, representing Gran Turismo Sport
- A Tallneck machine, representing Horizon Zero Dawn
- Ratchet's head, representing Ratchet & Clank
- Deacon's motorcycle, representing Days Gone
- Gaius the colossus, representing Shadow of the Colossus
- A guitar, representing The Last of Us 2
- Kratos' Leviathan Axe, representing God of War
- The PlayStation London Studio logo (creators of Blood & Truth)
- The Kojima Productions Logo (creators of Death Stranding)
- A paintbrush, representing Concrete Genie
- A baseball and bat, representing MLB The Show
- A sunglasses-wearing Imp, representing Dreams
Unless Sony has any surprises in store, Ghost of Tsushima was the last big PS4 exclusive from a first-party studio; while "there's a lot more to come from PS4", it looks like all PS4 games submitted for approval from July onward must be cross-gen compatible with PS5.
Hopefully one of the upcoming PS5 games will give Ghost of Tsushima a nod of its own - until then, there's the Ghost of Tsushima Sly Cooper Easter egg.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
