‘Ghostwire: Tokyo’ requirements include high-end specs, but it only needs 20GB storage on PC and PS5

Video game fans have been accustomed to seeing large file sizes for new games released in recent years, but this will not be the case for “Ghostwire: Tokyo.” While the game requires high-end specs to run on PC, it will need relatively small storage space on PC and PS5.

‘Ghostwire: Tokyo’ specs requirements

Following the “Ghostwire: Tokyo” PS5 showcase last week, the PC specs requirements for the game have been released on Steam. PC gamers will only need 20GB of storage to download the game. The Twitter page PlayStationSize also reported that the game will require the same on PS5, but noted that that file size only accounts for the base game without the day one patch.

While the game’s file size is surprisingly low on both platforms, PC gamers will still need a high-end rig to play the game. The “Ghostwire: Tokyo” page on Steam shows that the game’s minimum system requirements include Intel Core i7-4770K with clock speed 3.5GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 2600.

“Ghostwire: Tokyo” will only run properly on PCs with Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 5500 XT. The game will also require at least 6GB video RAM and 12GB memory. Steam indicates that the game will be playable even with HDD storage, but the digital store notes SSD storage is recommended.

PCs also have to be running on Windows 10 version 1909 or higher with DirectX version 12 to play “Ghostwire: Tokyo.” But to get the best experience on PC, Steam recommends a setup with Core i7-6700 (3.4GHZ) / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU and Nvidia GTX 1080 / AMD RX 5600 XT GPU.

‘Ghostwire: Tokyo’ protagonists and the Visitors

Fans can now check out the new “Ghostwire: Tokyo” deep dive video to get a better idea of how its combat mechanics and gameplay will run on PS5. Tango Gameworks also released new details about the game’s story, including new information on its protagonists and villains.

It has been known for a while now that players will control the main character named Akito in “Ghostwire: Tokyo.” But the latest announcements revealed that there are actually two protagonists in the game. Part of the reason Akito did not disappear, unlike the rest of Tokyo, is that his body merged with the spirit of the “veteran ghost hunter” called KK.

Akito and KK will have to fight through hordes of supernatural beings called Visitors that are immune to conventional weapons like guns and swords. Tango Gameworks revealed that the protagonists will mainly use a supernatural ability called Ethereal Weaving. It allows Akito to weave wind, water, and fire elements to deal damage to Visitors he will encounter across the city.

“Thanks to the advanced haptics of the PlayStation 5’s DualSense wireless controller, you’ll feel like you’re right in the action as you unleash Ethereal Weaving and tear out the cores of your enemies,” director Kenji Kimura said in a blog post. “Ghostwire: Tokyo” will be released on Friday, March 25.
