The Ghostwire Tokyo release date isn't too far away for those dying to get their hands on this supernatural horror with the game releasing worldwide on Friday, March 25, and you will be able to preload the game from March 22. Purchasers of the Deluxe Edition can preload from March 20 (more on that below).

We currently don't have any details on whether the game will employ staggered launch times as some other high profile titles have, so at this point in time, we can only assume it will be available to play from midnight on the 25th. 

If you have purchased a PlayStation 5 digital copy of the game, you can follow these instructions to successfully preload.

1. Boot up your PlayStation 5.
2. Head to the PlayStation library.
3. Navigate to the “Purchased” games tab.
4. Locate Ghostwire Tokyo.
5. Click “Download”.
6. And you are done! Ghostwire Tokyo will begin preloading and be available to play as soon as the game is released on March 25.

The game is approx 20GB, so not too hefty, but may still require you to free up some space on your console.

As has been the case with some other AAA PlayStation titles, you may be worried about the Ghostwire Tokyo price. Luckily, the game will not be following in the footsteps of titles such as Deathloop, Returnal, and Horizon Forbidden West.

The price of the base game will come in at $59.99/£59.99, with the deluxe edition bumping things up to $79.99/£79.99. The deluxe edition does come with additional cosmetics, an exclusive in-game weapon, and three days early access, meaning you can start playing on March 22.
