"Ghostwire Tokyo's" system requirements for the PC have been revealed ahead of its official launch.

Kitguru shared the specs you'll need to play the game, as shown here. While the hardware itself doesn't look too high-end, one notable thing about them is the RAM, VRAM, and storage requirements:
Minimum
- 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or higher
- Intel Core i7-4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- 12GB of RAM
- NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or AMD RX 5500 XT 6GB
- 20GB of disk space
Recommended
- 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or higher
- Intel Core i7-6700 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- 16GB of RAM
- NVIDIA GTX 1080 8GB or AMD RX 5600 XT 6GB
- 20 GB of disk space
Perhaps the most noteworthy one is just how little disk space the game requires, considering it's a modern title. A lot of current and even past-generation titles have had install sizes 50GB or more, making this is likely the smallest one in terms of overall install size in recent history.
There are also other hardware recommendations aside from the revealed specs. For one, "Ghostwire Tokyo" developer Tango Gameworks recommends that you use an SSD for the game as per its official Steam page, though the game will likely still work fine on a mechanical hard drive.
PC and PlayStation 5 players get the first crack at the first-person supernatural adventure due to a timed exclusivity deal. It is scheduled to release on the aforementioned platforms on March 25th, with Xbox players getting their chance sometime in March 2023. By then, it is expected to reach Xbox/PC Game Pass.

'Ghostwire Tokyo' PC Requirements Analysis
For a game that's technically a next-gen exclusive, "Ghostwire Tokyo's" system requirements on PC are surprisingly reasonable. This is even more pronounced given the current situation of the PC hardware market, which means that more people have been stuck with components that are around five years old or more.
For the minimum specs, it requires a quad-core Intel CPU (granted, it's an i7-4770K, but still) that's roughly nine years old at this point, alongside a now six-year-old graphics card in the GTX 1060. Recommended specs are not too modern, too, as 1080 is roughly the same age as 1060.
As for the AMD parts, the Ryzen 5 2600 is far more modern than a 4770K, but it's still an over-three-year-old chip at this point. On the other hand, the 5500 and 5600 XT were released around a year apart in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
If you've built your gaming PC within those specific time frames, chances are you're running similar-tier hardware. As such, your system will not have much of a problem running "Ghostwire Tokyo" on minimum settings at the very least. Just don't expect 60 FPS performance on max graphics at resolutions above 1080p (i.e. 1440p or even 4K), and you're all set.
However, there's no indication that the game supports features like ray tracing or NVIDIA's DLSS/AMD's FidelityFX. But those might be announced (or not) in a later update, so you'll have to wait.
