Is Ghostwire Tokyo available on Xbox? The age of exclusives has well and truly begun, and Ghostwire Tokyo may be the latest to land in the crosshairs of companies like Sony and Microsoft.

As acquisitions are about as common as game releases, players are often worried that some of their most anticipated titles are scooped up under singular publishers. Let's find out if a Ghostwire Tokyo Xbox release is coming.

Ghostwire Tokyo was made available on Xbox consoles on April 12, 2023, one year after it was released on PlayStation and Windows. So yes, you can play Ghostwire Tokyo on Xbox!

Ghostwire Tokyo was developed by Tango Gameworks, the dev team behind The Evil Within series, and the title was heavily aligned with Sony's new-gen console.

Similar to titles like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Ghostwire Tokyo will act as a timed exclusive for Sony, which should last a year. Interestingly though, Tango Gameworks is working through Bethesda as its publisher, meaning that Ghostwire Tokyo is the second timed-exclusive for Sony that is now owned by Microsoft, after its $7 billion acquisition of Bethesda

What this basically means is that Ghostwire Tokyo was arranged as a timed-exclusive for Sony prior to the Bethesda acquisition. So, Microsoft is simply honouring that deal, and while unfortunate, Xbox players simply had to wait a year before they could get their hands on Ghostwire Tokyo.

However, it also means that there is a good chance that whatever Tango Gameworks comes up with next, whether that be DLC or a new IP, will be aligned with Microsoft and Xbox. 

For those on PS5 that simply cannot wait to try this title out, check out our guide on the Ghostwire Tokyo release time, to find out how you can play it early.
