Can you change time of day in Ghost of Tsushima?

Ghost of Tsushima has a surprising amount of quality-of-life features for whenever you might need them. You can fast travel to any landmark you’ve visited on the map, you can pick up resources while on horseback, and unlike every other open-world game, you aren’t faster or slower than the person you’re trailing.

One common feature however is only present in a limited capacity. Here’s whether you can change the time of day in Ghost of Tsushima.

Can you change from day to night in Ghost of Tsushima?

It’s sadly impossible to pass the time in the conventional way in Ghost of Tsushima. There’s no Skip Time button or key, and you can’t go to a location to sleep and wait. That being said, there are other ways you can do it depending on your use case. Fast traveling to a location will pass some time, though the amount isn’t predetermined. If you want it to be a specific time of day or night, you’ll have to keep fast traveling until it is.

Alternatively, there’s an easy way to change the time if you’re trying to set up the perfect photograph. Activate Photo Mode, then scroll down until you reach the Time of Day setting. Here you can use a slider to select the exact time of day you want for your photo. It’ll go back to the time it was when you left Photo Mode, but it’s enough to get the picture just right. You can change a host of other settings here too, like Jin’s emotion, the contrast, and so on.
