Though you’re gonna need some RAM for this one.
Ghostwire: Tokyo, an open-world game where you use jazz hands powers to become a Japanese Ghostbuster, is coming to PC on March 25 according to a leak Bethesda recently confirmed.
This week, its Steam page updated with some system requirements and though they recommend SSD storage, as is now de rigeur, they only call for 20 GB of free space. That’s pleasingly low, especially for an open-world game that looks pretty enough based on what we’ve seen so far.
On the other hand, the memory requirement calls for a steep 12 GB of RAM at minimum and 16 GB recommended. With the occasional rare exception like Deathloop, games have been calling for 8 GB of RAM for so long I’ve stopped paying attention. There’s no mention of what framerate or resolution the listed requirements are targeting, however.
Imogen watched a hands-off preview of Ghostwire: Tokyo this week, and noted with pleasant surprise that it’s more like Watch Dogs 2 than The Evil Within.
