Ghostwire: Tokyo Gets An Update And Expanded Xbox Release

Xbox users can now get ready to enjoy more. On April 12, Bethesda Softworks and Tango Gameworks will launch a free update to the critically acclaimed, super-natural action game Ghostwire: Tokyo with an all-new game mode, new areas to explore, extended story cutscenes, quality-of-life improvements, and more for current and future owners on PlayStation as well as an Xbox release and PC updates.

Sweet look forward to trying it. And yet another case of M$ continuing to support and update content on games released outside of their platform...

Garethvk1163d ago

To be fair I believe there were agreements in place before they took over Bethesda so this could simply be contracted updates.

Lightning771163d ago

This is outside of contractual obligations. MS is doing what a publisher should do. Support existing games on other consoles.

shinoff21831163d ago

Lightning do you have proof of this not being contractual

Nitrowolf21163d ago

@Lightning

Has that ever happened in the last two gens though, where a publisher drops support on an already released game to only work on one platform

Lightning771163d ago

@Shinoff the proof is the exclusivety contract ends in a few weeks. It's only a year contract Plus this game is on PSN+ so is Minecraft Dungeons. Does that game have extended contractual obligations? Death loop was on plus last year as well. Where's your evidence saying other wise?

@Nitro Minecraft has been supported since MS bought them. The newest one releases next month on PS5 plus last iterations are still getting updates.

Tired of arguing over things that's so blatantly obvious around here.

“MS is doing what a publisher should do. Support existing games on other consoles.“

Then why didn’t MS release a PS5 version of Psychonauts 2 and do what a publisher should do? Exactly.

Lightning771163d ago

"Then why didn’t MS release a PS5 version of Psychonauts 2 and do what a publisher should do? Exactly."

The only thing they did was published the rest of the kick starter which includes PS4 full version by adding back the cut content that DF had to originally rid of because of budgets. Though there is a PS5 patch though.

And Hopefully all the continued supported game's successors release on those same platforms outside their ecosystem...

Lightning771163d ago

Like deathloop 2? That doesn't seem to be the case.

Outside_ofthe_Box1163d ago

Oh darn. I guess it isn't about bringing games to all platforms then.

Lightning771163d ago (Edited 1163d ago )

Do you expect Sony to bring its games over? Plus doesn't MS need exclusives? something we've been yelling about for the past 11 years?

So what exclusives don't matter after all these years? Or are you just gonna use the classic imaginary goal post of "they need to build them from the ground up in order for it to count" metric.

Outside_ofthe_Box1163d ago (Edited 1163d ago )

I'm not being serious, if that wasn't obvious.

"Do you expect Sony to bring its games over?"

-No

"Plus doesn't MS need exclusives?"

-Tell that those saying "bring games to all platforms!" whenever MS makes another deal with a no name streaming company.

"Or are you just gonna use the classic imaginary goal post of "they need to build them from the ground up in order for it to count" metric."

-Yeah I know, you don't have to remind me that Microsoft can't compete unless they buy EA, Take2, Etc to measure up to bad guy Sony.

Lightning771163d ago

"Do you expect Sony to bring its games over?"

-No

Well ok then. Why should MS do the same?

That's Call Of Duty Shenanigans

"Plus doesn't MS need exclusives?"

"-Tell that those saying "bring games to all platforms!" whenever MS makes another deal with a no name streaming company."

That's all COD shenanigans that doesn't include there other games.

"-Yeah I know, you don't have to remind me that Microsoft can't compete unless they buy EA, Take2, Etc to measure up to bad guy Sony."

Besides Bethesda an acquisition I agree with I don't agree with ABK so yeah you're right about that.

Outside_ofthe_Box1163d ago

I'm not saying that Microsoft should. I'm not being serious when I say that. I'm just poking at those that say that Microsoft should bring their games to all platforms in response to all the deals that MS is making. Obviously they shouldn't bring their games to Playstation if they still see them as competition.

It’s contracted that’s why it’s coming to PlayStation plus. Sony has it in its contract that says if they are marketing the game it can’t go to gamepass without it being offered to PlayStation plus and other clauses.

a7madRyan1163d ago

They didnt for psychonauts 2 and the outer worlds cost 10$ for the new ver on all platforms

Nice can't wait to download and dig in!

Pretty sad when you are turning to Sony for subscription money in March before it launches on your system in April.

SkilledGamer568d ago

Yeah, the game was just randomly announced today alongside the PS+ listings for next month.

Petebloodyonion568d ago

Ghostwire Tokyo will be free on EPIC from this Thursday until November 5. No subscription is required, and you can keep the game permanently.

Eonjay568d ago

Ghotewire Tokyo is actually really underated. This is a great get for Plus and the Epic Store.

crazyCoconuts568d ago

goken568d ago

Thanks 😀. I will try to get that too

FinalFantasyFanatic567d ago

Ghostwire Tokyo has actually been free on EPIC before, I was actually contemplating playing it soon, great for people on PC who haven't picked it up yet though.

Meh month I guess. But maybe Hot Wheels is kinda fun at least.

goken568d ago

I would say This is a pretty good month 😃

Always wanted to try ghost wire.

Death note looks interesting

Don’t care for hot wheels though

redknight80568d ago

Heck yeah, Ghost Wire is an awesome game - I really enjoyed it from beginning to end!

Abnor_Mal568d ago

Hot Wheels for the win. The others I’ll add them to my library but not really interested.

This shouldn't have happened.

Who's next..

JEECE706d ago

Ninja Theory, most likely.

tay8701706d ago

Ninja theory. Others will follow as well. The smaller studios MS owns should all be worried. Maybe MS will try and release some of their games day and date on ps5 to save some of these studios.

jznrpg706d ago

I can see Ninja Theory. At least Tango made a game that was reviewed well. Ninja Theory spent a lot of years to release a tech demo that didn’t do well at all.

repsahj705d ago

I get it that Hellblade 2 is a boring game, but I hope they are not the next to be closed.

ABizzel1705d ago

@repssahj

Ninja Theory is likely on the chopping block too. They released Bleeding Edge which bombed, took 4 years to release Hellbalde 2 which doesn’t seem to be doing well, and still have Project Mara in limbo. They’re high on the chopping block.

MS was likely expecting their God of War / Uncharted quality game from NT based on Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, DmC, and to an extent Hellblade 1, but NT hasn’t delivered since Hellblade 1 which was 7 years ago.

Sonic1881705d ago

And Obsidian after Avowed releases

I rarely agree with you but on this I do!

3 trillion MS is worth, yet they do this, well Phil the shit bag did. No studio needed to be let go, when you are worth this much.

anast706d ago

Sad, but I see characters and posters of either less than average or barely average games.

LoveSpuds706d ago

Have to disagree here duder, with respect. Evil Within was a good game and the sequel was fantastic, as was HiFi Rush. I'd concede Ghostwire was pretty average but regardless, shuttering a studio which just put out MS best game in donkeys years was complete shithousery on XBox' part.

Einhander1972706d ago (Edited 706d ago )

Microsoft paid 8B to buy Zenimax then fired well over 1000 people from Zenimax between the time they closed the deal and they announced these shut downs.

People talk about the 1900 they fired most recently, but that was only one wave of three sets of layoffs from their gaming division so far this generation totalling around 5000 people this generation. Not counting the dozen plus studios they canned last gen including Lionhead the original Fable developers.

anast706d ago

By every real metric HiFi was an average game. I don't see an Evil within poster in the thumb, which is a shame, because if they threw their weight behind that IP, they might have still been around.

LoveSpuds706d ago

I don't understand how you can say it was average in every metric when it garnered the reviews it did?

Fonsecap706d ago

Working people paying the price for leadership bad decisions, so unfair...
