Ghostwire: Tokyo is the latest effort from Tango Gameworks, the Shinji Mikami-led studio that is best known for its Evil Within games. Ghostwire: Tokyo reviews for the PS5 version were mostly positive, but many critics had complaints about the game. There were those who didn’t like Ghostwire: Tokyo’s combat, and there were others who found the whole thing to be too repetitive. However, Ghostwire: Tokyo finds itself in a unique position because it will soon have a second chance at making a first impression.

It’s believed that Ghostwire: Tokyo’s PS5 exclusivity will run out on March 25, 2023, at which point, the game can be ported to other platforms. It’s assumed Ghostwire: Tokyo will hit Xbox Game Pass the same day that it launches for Xbox Series X, and that’s a reasonable assumption to make. Deathloop found itself in the exact situation Ghostwire: Tokyo was in, and as soon as its Xbox Series X version was available, it joined the Game Pass lineup.
Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox Could Have a New Update
Not only did Deathloop join Game Pass, but it also released a new update that added fresh content to the experience. It’s possible, though unconfirmed, that Ghostwire: Tokyo will do the same. Not only that, but it’s possible said update could go a long way in addressing some of the issues that critics had with Ghostwire: Tokyo at the time of its original release, though that’s just speculation at this time. Nothing about the Ghostwire: Tokyo Xbox port has actually been confirmed at the time of this writing, so fans should keep their expectations in check. However, if the Ghostwire: Tokyo Xbox port does come with a substantial update, the game could find itself in a much better state on Xbox than it did when it launched as a PS5 console exclusive.
A Ghostwire: Tokyo update that addresses the complaints fans and critics alike had about the original release could be something that helps the game reach a much wider audience. The likely Ghostwire: Tokyo Xbox Game Pass debut will do that as well, helping the game reach players who may have not given it a chance otherwise. Between the potential for a new update and the likelihood that it will be available on Xbox Game Pass, Ghostwire: Tokyo is set up to make a big impact on Xbox and outdo its PlayStation version. Whether that comes to pass remains to be seen, but fans should find out at the end of March.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is available now for PC and PS5.
