Six million players have “explored Ghostwire: Tokyo’s spooky streets”.
That’s according to developer Tango Gameworks, which recently took to X/Twitter to share the milestone with its community.
“SIX MILLION PLAYERS have explored Ghostwire: Tokyo’s spooky streets!” the team said in a tweet. “That doesn’t make those eerie alleyways any less haunted, of course… Thank you again to all our fans!”
The boost in its playerbase likely came when, after a year’s PlayStation exclusivity, Ghostwire: Tokyo finally released on Xbox consoles, and we free-to-play for all Xbox Game Pass subscribers.

In Eurogamer’s Ghostwire: Tokyo review, I said that the supernatural romp’s striking folklore inspirations didn’t quite meet their potential, and its mediocre combat and tiresome activities held back Ghostwire: Tokyo’s otherwise spectacular, otherwordly atmosphere.
A year later, our friends at Digital Foundry posited that Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox retained the PS5 version’s problems – “and adds a bunch more”.
“After a year of PlayStation 5 exclusivity, Ghostwire: Tokyo is finally out on Xbox. This open-world horror-first-person-adventure mashup is definitely a unique game, but it did suffer from a range of technical issues when it first launched,” Digital Foundry wrote when the Xbox version released last April.
