[GameSpot] - Ghostwire: Tokyo PC Specs Revealed For Your Ghost-Busting Needs

[343iBot]

Ghostwire: Tokyo is out this Friday, and if you're looking to tour a spookier side of the Shibuya district, you'll be able to do so on either PC or PlayStation 5. To see if the game can run on your gaming rig in all its neon glory, publisher Bethesda has released a list of minimum and recommended PC requirements that focus on multiple graphical options.

At the very lowest setting that'll have the game running at a resolution of 720p, you'll be able to play the game with very modest hardware. Shifting up to more modern gaming visual standards, an Nvidia RTX 2080 Super or AMD RX 6800 XT with at least 8 GB of VRAM will be needed to run the game at up to 1440p resolution on its highest settings.

In order to utilize ray tracing, you'll need to have some pretty powerful hardware to get all that authentic lighting running smoothly while you bust some ghosts. The minimum requirements for ray tracing at 1080p has an Nvidia RTX 2060 with 6 GB of VRAM listed, while the recommended specs list either an Nvidia RTX 2080 Super or an AMD RX 6800 XT for a 1440p version of the game.

When it comes to running Ghostwire: Tokyo with the very best visual options possible, only the best will do. Cream of the crop gaming hardware--or the GPUs that usually get snatched up by crypto-miners before gamers can buy them--are needed here, but the end result is a version of Ghostwire: Tokyo that should look spectacular when it's maxed out.

Reviews have gone live for Ghostwire: Tokyo, and while the game has received a mixed critical reception, a number of reviewers have praised developer Tango Gameworks for creating an eerie version of Tokyo that's dripping with atmospheric splendor.

"The story's shortcomings are disappointing considering the early potential of its alluring mysteries, but even this isn't enough to detract from Ghostwire: Tokyo's fantastic combat, setting, and world-building," Richard Wakeling wrote in his Ghostwire: Tokyo review.
