About the Game
Ghostwire: Tokyo is a supernatural action adventure where you fight spirits to uncover why the city's people vanished.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is a single-player action game developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks. Its genre tag is Action, and the store description frames it around facing the unknown, uncovering the truth behind the disappearances, and saving the city.
The story starts when a dangerous sorcerer casts a deadly supernatural force over Tokyo, and the city's population vanishes in an instant. You team up with powerful spirits that seek revenge and build up your elemental powers and spirit-hunting skills to push back the threat. The store page highlights using your spectral abilities to climb to the top of the Tokyo skyline, glide over the streets, find new missions, and take on enemies.
The setting is a big part of the appeal. The description contrasts ultramodern urban areas with traditional temples and narrow back alleys, all shaped by a haunting atmosphere. Landmarks such as the Shibuya crossing and Tokyo Tower are called out for their detail, and the store page also mentions a frozen-in-time city and a strange underground world where your family may be found.
The Spider's Thread update is free for all players and adds new explorable areas, extended cutscenes, new side quests, new enemies, quality-of-life improvements, extra combat skills, and a roguelite game mode called Spider's Thread.
Feature Highlights
- The main adventure is single-player only, so you can play entirely on your own schedule.
- Full controller support and DualSense controller support make it easy to play from the couch.
- Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English subtitles are all available, along with many other languages.
- Steam cloud saves and Steam Achievements let you pick up progress across sessions.
- The free Spider's Thread update adds new areas, side quests, enemies, and a roguelite mode for everyone who owns the game.
- HDR, surround sound, and Steam Family Sharing are all listed among its features.
Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy action games with a spooky urban setting will likely find a lot to like here. It suits anyone who wants a story-driven game with elemental combat and the freedom to glide and explore the streets of Tokyo. The added roguelite mode from the free update gives returning players a reason to dive back in.
Not Recommended For
If you prefer fast, twitch-based combat or hate games that rely on reflexes, this may not be your style, since the store page lists a no-quick-reactions-required setting as a feature. Players who want an open-ended sandbox rather than a guided, story-led experience may also want to look elsewhere.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Ghostwire: Tokyo holds a Steam review label of Very Positive (極度好評 in Taiwan Steam wording), with 83% of its reviews positive. That rating is backed by tens of thousands of reviews, which is a substantial sample and suggests the strong score reflects a broad player base rather than a handful of opinions.
In general, a Very Positive label means the large majority of players who reviewed the game recommended it. Steam calculates these labels from recent and overall reviews, so a high percentage with a large volume is a more reliable signal than the same score from a small group. Still, a percentage alone does not tell you whether the game fits your taste, so reading a few recent reviews before buying is worthwhile.

Prices quoted here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Ghostwire: Tokyo's regular price is NT$ 1799, and the current price is NT$ 449, a 75% discount. Our lowest recorded paid price is NT$ 179, logged on June 26, 2026, and the deepest discount we have seen is 90%.
We have noted that the game is discounted often, but the current price is not our recorded low, and the game has not been free to keep on any of the days we tracked. Our price record is still short, so any verdict here is tentative.
Given that the current price sits well below the regular NT$ 1799 and has been discounted frequently, it is a reasonable time to buy if you are interested. If you want the absolute lowest price, waiting for a deeper sale or using the wishlist alerts is a sensible move, but there is no guarantee a lower price will appear.
