Ghostwire: Tokyo

Ghostwire: Tokyo is a first-person action-adventure set in a supernaturally altered Tokyo. Almost all people have disappeared. Akito survives the catastrophe and teams up with the ghost of detective KK.

Together they explore the city, solve tasks and fight creatures from Japanese ghost stories.

Ghostwire: Tokyo was released on Steam on Mar 24, 2022 and on PlayStation 5 on Mar 25, 2022. The Xbox Series version followed on Apr 12, 2023.

Since Oct 15, 2026, a DRM-free PC version has also been available on GOG.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is available for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no standalone version for PS4 or Xbox One.

On PC, the game is available from Steam and GOG, among others. The GOG version does not require a game client.

Ghostwire: Tokyo combines exploration, supernatural combat and side quests. Akito explores the streets of Shibuya in first-person, uncovers ghost stories and fights off the so-called Visitors.

As the story progresses, he expands his abilities and reaches more districts. The story can only be played solo.

The free Spider’s Thread update expands Ghostwire: Tokyo with an extra game mode, new locations and more missions. It also adds new combat techniques, cutscenes and enemies.

The Deluxe Edition includes cosmetic extras and a Kunai weapon. Two soundtracks are sold separately.

The PC version requires at least 12 GB RAM, a graphics card with 6 GB video memory and 26 GB of space on an SSD. Recommended processors are an Intel Core i7-4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600. DirectX 12 is required.

16 GB RAM and a graphics card on the level of a GeForce GTX 1080, Radeon RX 5600 XT or Intel Arc A750 are recommended.

Akito searches for his missing sister while Tokyo is trapped in supernatural fog. Former investigator KK shares a body with him.

Together they want to solve the disappearance of the population and stop the Masked Hannya.

Akito can use wind, water and fire energy for different attacks. Wind is fast, water works at short range, and fire is strong against groups.

With several hits, he exposes an enemy's core and can pull it out. A bow and talismans round out the arsenal.

Shibuya, its side streets, rooftops and shrines form the explorable locations. Akito purifies cursed torii gates to push back the fog and open further areas of the city.

With special abilities, he glides across rooftops or pulls himself toward flying tengu. Side quests draw on Japanese ghost stories.

Spider’s Thread is an additional game mode with repeatable challenges. It released in April 2023 as part of a free update.

The update also expanded the main story with new missions and a school as a setting. New evasion and attack techniques were added.

Since Oct 15, 2026, Ghostwire: Tokyo has been available on GOG without DRM and without a Bethesda.NET sign-in. The version can be installed with an offline installer and launched without the GOG Galaxy client.

The sign-in window and the Bethesda.NET integration have been removed. Previous sign-in rewards are unlocked automatically. The version was adapted for Windows 10 and 11. GOG intends to keep its compatibility in the future.
