- New Content includes new modes, enemy types, areas, and skills
Ghostwire: Tokyo finally has a release date on Xbox, April 12th, 2023. It will be hitting Game Pass day one on Xbox Series consoles and the Windows Store. This is a similar 1-year+ waiting period as we saw with Deathloop, as Sony locked up the Tango Gameworks title for the first year on PS5. The game released to solid reviews, and Xbox Era should have one ready to go for the Xbox version closer to launch.
Alongside the Xbox version’s release will be a bevy of new content:
- Spider’s Thread – This is a new game mode set outside of the main story. Players must work through a thirty-stage gauntlet from a pool of 120 total levels. Each stage has unique challenges but they all have the same goal, make it to the end.
- New Areas & Additional Story Content – There will be more areas added to the game such as the local Middle School. The new areas have additional missions for players to complete. Cutscenes in the main campaign are extended as well to give further detail and context to what is going on.
- New Enemies & Player Skills – There will be new enemy types, such as the invisible Silent Gaze and the Retribution enemy type. Your character will gain the new Charge Rush and Counter Attack skills to help combat these new foes.
All of these changes will be available in the PS5 and PC versions of the game that was released in March of last year as well. The full press release is copied below for your convenience.

Nice!
Finally gonna see for myself if it’s a good game or not. There were plenty of different reactions on it, I remember that.
Free game ChaChaCha!
Sounds like it will leave a better impression for Xbox fans since the update is coming along with the full game.
Can’t wait to play this one!
2023 = Year of Tango! let’s go!
Oh wait, I thought it was this month. Totally forgot we’re still in March. Definitely expected it this month, ah well.
More like Xbox players will actually play the game, PS players didn’t give a fuck about it.
2023 = GOAT year for Xbox confirmed once more!
I’ve been looking forward to playing this game, seems like a flawed title but with enough interedging/unique aspects to be worth playing for some. Glad it’s coming with a pretty major update as well.
I bought it for the PS5 when it came out and never played it. #PileOfShame
It was 70 dollars. I know we like to bitch about sony but the actual ps5 gamers are being shafted here. No way should this game have been 70 dollars.
The announcement trailer on the Xbox channel but it’s PC footage, bummer.
I’m really curious about the raytracing in this game, the footage I saw when it was released last year looked really good with the reflections in the water puddles and everything. Time to see some raytracing goodness on my XSX.
