All versions of Ghostwire: Tokyo are getting some new content through The Spider’s Thread update. There’s a new gauntlet mode with 30 different stages to clear, and while players will be sent back to the beginning if they fail at any point, they can unlock some permanent upgrades to make the next run easier. In the main game, there’s some new story content, included some new creepy areas to explore and some extended cutscenes.

Ghostwire: Tokyo was one of two timed PS5 console exclusives that were signed before Bethesda Softworks' parent company ZeniMax Media was acquired by Microsoft. The other game was Deathloop from Arkane Lyon, which came to Xbox consoles and Xbox Game Pass back in 2022.
Tango Gameworks shadow dropped a completely new game earlier in the year,Hi-Fi Rush, which was the first Xbox exclusive game launched by Bethesda Softworks as an Xbox first-party developer. In ourreview of Hi-Fi Rush, staff writer Zachary Boddy noted that “From beginning to end, Hi-Fi RUSH is a rhythmic thrill ride replete with stunning art design, fantastically fun gameplay, and a surprisingly evocative narrative of friendship and determination.”
Windows Central’s take
With the upcoming launch of Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox platforms, all of Bethesda Softworks' pre-existing exclusivity commitments are done. It’s a big year for Bethesda and Xbox, with more games coming in the form of Arkane Austin’sRedfalland Bethesda Game Studios’Starfield, both of which I absolutely can’t wait to play.
