While PC gamers are used to a variety of graphics modes, tweaks and settings, Ghostwire: Tokyo will offer PS5 players a range of options, 6 modes allowing you to choose between Quality and Performance depending on your preference and TV capabilities.

Quality Mode

This mode renders 4K, is capped at 30FPS but offers Ray-tracing reflections and other graphical enhancements

Performance Mode

If you prefer perfomance over quality (lower resolution) then this mode is for you. Capped at 60FPS with no Ray-tracing reflections (replaced by spatial reflection) or other graphical enhancements

High Frame-Rate Quality Mode

This mode renders 4K, offers Ray-tracing reflections and other graphical enhancements, but unlike the Quality Mode is not capped at 30FPS.

High Frame-Rate Performance Mode

Similar to Performance Mode, but is not capped at 60FPS so higher framerate is possible.

High Frame-Rate Quality Mode (V-Sync enabled)

All the bells & whistles from the High Frame-Rate Quality Mode but reduces screen tearing

High Frame-Rate Performance Mode (V-Sync enabled)

The same as High Frame Rate Performance Mode but reduces screen tearing where possible.

Ghostwire: Tokyo developer Tango Gameworks will release a launch day patch to address possible screen tearing issues in High Frame-Rate Quality and High Frame-Rate Performance modes.

Key Features:

  • Explore a Broken, Beautiful Tokyo: Ghostwire: Tokyo harnesses the power of the PlayStation 5 to re-create Tokyo’s timeless beauty—an unmatched mix of ultra-modern cityscapes, deep dark alleyways, and beautiful ancient temples—but with a supernatural twist that will be a surprise even to those who are familiar with the city. While barren and ominous, the metropolis’ splendor is on full display with iconic landmarks including Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo Tower, and more.
  • Next-Gen Fidelity on PS5: Tango Gameworks is using the power and speed of PlayStation 5 to forge a beautiful, supernatural version of Tokyo like never before with haptic feedback for every ability and character action with the DUALSENSE Wireless Controller and advanced 3D spatial audio that immerses the player in an ominous city with dangers to uncover around every corner.
  • Wield Paranormal Abilities: Ghostwire: Tokyo features a robust combat system that allows players to employ supernatural powers to unleash devastating, otherworldly attacks and interact with the paranormal in a variety of ways – cleanse, banish, and destroy. Throughout their journey players will grow their newfound powers to suit their playstyle and take the fight to the supernatural.
  • Face the Unknown: Tango is known for their creepy monsters and Japan’s culture—stories of yōkai (supernatural beings from Japanese folklore), ghost stories, and urban legends—provides plenty of inspiration. In the studio’s version of Tokyo, evil spirits are wandering the city in search of victims. Players will encounter supernatural entities such as Shiromoku, a spirit of a young bride in a traditional white kimono who was unable to wed her lover and has endless regret, and Amewarashi, a paranormal entity in the form of a child wearing a raincoat that manifests due to its great sadness from being separated from his parents and his mischievous spirit.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is coming exclusively to PS5 and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on March 25, 2022.
