Ghostwire: Tokyo launched in March 2022 for PC and PS5. The latest effort from Tango Gameworks, Ghostwire: Tokyo earned mixed reviews at the time of its release, with some gamers underwhelmed with its world and combat, but others coming away impressed by its next-gen graphics and interesting story. If anything, this mixed reception should make Ghostwire: Tokyo a perfect fit for Xbox Game Pass, as those who are more hesitant to try it out can give it a go without making any major financial commitment.

Even though Microsoft technically owns the rights to Ghostwire: Tokyo, at this point the game remains a PS5 console exclusive and there is no word on when it might finally jump ship to Xbox. Xbox gamers can take a look at how Deathloop’s transition from PlayStation to Xbox was handled to get a better idea of when they may be able to expect Ghostwire: Tokyo to make its way to Xbox and the Game Pass subscription service.
When Will Ghostwire: Tokyo Be on Xbox Game Pass?
At the time of this writing, an official Xbox Game Pass release date for Ghostwire: Tokyo has not been announced. We do know that Ghostwire: Tokyo’s PS5 exclusivity will run out one year after it originally launched for the platform, meaning that the earliest that the game could hit Xbox would be March 25, 2023. It’s certainly within the realm of possibility that Microsoft will release Ghostwire: Tokyo on Game Pass that day, but since March 25 is a Saturday, it seems highly unlikely.
The most likely scenario is that Microsoft will wait a few days after it is technically allowed to release Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox and drop the game on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. New video game releases typically happen on Tuesdays and Fridays, so that seems to make the most sense. Of course, it’s always possible Microsoft will wait longer to release Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox for whatever reason, but barring that unexpected outcome, March 28, 2023 seems like the safest bet. All we know for sure is that fans shouldn’t expect the game to release on Xbox any time before March 25.
It’s possible that whenever Ghostwire: Tokyo hits Xbox Game Pass, it will do so with some new content in tow. Deathloop had the Golden Loop update when it joined the Game Pass lineup earlier this year, and it might be that Ghostwire: Tokyo follows suit with its own special update. Fans shouldn’t necessarily hold their breath for that, though, especially with rumors swirling that Tango Gameworks is already focused on its next project.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is available now for PC and PS5.
