Ghostwire: Tokyo was one of two games under Bethesda Softworks signed as a timed PS5 exclusive prior to the launch of the latest gaming consoles, with the other being the time-bending Deathloop from Arkane Studios' Lyon branch. These announcements, somewhat amusingly, came shortly before the news that Microsoft was acquiring Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media.
Earlier in the year, Tango Gameworks announced and launched another game in the same day with the widely-praised Hi-Fi Rush. This colorful adventure is different from Tango Gameworks' other titles in practically every way, with our review of Hi-Fi Rush calling it "pure video game fun."
Windows Central's take
Between the Xbox version of Ghostwire: Tokyo and the launch of Hi-Fi Rush at the start of the year, Tango Gameworks is in the spotlight in a great way. It's good to see their games getting a big focus, and while I'm sure it'll be a while, I hope we don't go too long without finding out what's next. Hi-Fi Rush 2 feels like a ridiculously safe bet, but I hope The Evil Within 3 happens someday.
