Ghostwire Tokyo: Spider’s Thread update goes live alongside Game Pass launch

Following the game’s console exclusivity period on PS5, Tango Gameworks’ Ghostwire: Tokyo is now available on Xbox (and PC) via Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription service. Alongside this recent launch, a massive free update in the form of Ghostwire: Tokyo Spider’s Thread is now available, adding a new game mode, more side missions, combat skills, enemies, Photo Mode enhancements and more.

Taking to their blog, Tango Gameworks published the patch notes for the latest Ghostwire: Tokyo update – Spider’s Thread. On the surface, this update brings with it quite a few major changes and additions, including the addition of “a new rogue-lite mode to the game on top of other additions to the base campaign, including new enemies, new skills, new areas to explore, new side missions, extended story cinematics, Photo Mode enhancements and more!”

In terms of smaller quality-of-life improvements, the update includes:

• Players will now see an icon in the HUD displaying the type of food or drink they have equipped
• A wish was added to shrine offering boxes to see a Hyakki Yako, which increases the chances of a player encountering one
• Changed some key binding settings to be individually assignable
• Players can now toggle a darker background onto subtitles and mission objective text for enhanced readability.

Alongside these improvements, the update also adds and alters dozens of trophies/achievements which one could unlock – as well as fixing a bunch of bugs with the most exciting being “Various optimizations to improve the overall game performance.”

Ghostwire; Tokyo did not make as much of a splash as it should have when the game first came out last year and so it is good to see the unique title getting a second chance.
