Vorige week stelde Sony PlayStation VRR beschikbaar op de PlayStation 5 en als gevolg daarvan kregen diverse games een update om de functie te implementeren. Nu is ook Ghostwire Tokyo aan de beurt, die een nieuwe update ontvangen heeft.

De update doet echter meer dan alleen VRR toevoegen, zo worden er ook wat performance issues aangepakt. In het kader van de Japanse Children’s Day op 5 mei zijn er wat nieuwe emotes beschikbaar voor gebruik in de foto modus.

De details van de update hieronder op een rijtje en meer over de game zelf lees je in onze review.

Update Highlights

  • Performance Improvements: This update addresses some performance issues for PS5 and PC.
