Ghostwire: Tokyo is now available on GOG for the first time. The supernatural action game is DRM-free and has joined the GOG Preservation Program. Players can download the game directly through their browser without needing GOG Galaxy, while Linux users can manage their GOG games through alternative launchers such as Heroic Games Launcher.
Both editions are currently discounted until October 29, 2026. The standard edition is available for €14.99, down from €59.99, while the Deluxe Edition costs €26.39 instead of €79.99. The offers end at 16:00 EET.
Originally released in 2022, Ghostwire: Tokyo takes place in a version of Tokyo where almost everyone has mysteriously disappeared. Players explore the city's streets, fight supernatural enemies and use elemental abilities to take on the spirits behind the strange events.
Ghostwire: Tokyo joins GOG's Preservation Program
The GOG release brings more than just another storefront option. The game no longer requires Bethesda.NET integration, removing the Bethesda login screen from the main menu. GOG has also verified its stability and compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
These changes are part of the GOG Preservation Program, which aims to keep games working on modern PCs as hardware and operating systems change. For players who care about game preservation, that's a welcome addition.
Download Ghostwire: Tokyo without GOG Galaxy
You don't need to install GOG Galaxy to download your games. After purchasing Ghostwire: Tokyo, players can sign in to their GOG account, open their game library and download the offline installation files directly through a web browser.
This gives players more control over how they install and keep their games. The offline installers can also be stored for future use, without relying on the GOG Galaxy client to download the game again.
You can find the game on the official Ghostwire: Tokyo page on GOG.
Can you play Ghostwire: Tokyo on Linux?
GOG Galaxy does not have an officially released Linux version, but Linux gamers aren't limited to the Windows client. The free, open-source Heroic Games Launcher supports GOG games and is available for Linux, including distributions such as Manjaro.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is listed as a Windows game on GOG, so Linux users will need a compatibility layer such as Wine or Proton to try running it. Compatibility and performance may vary depending on the system.
For fans of supernatural action games and DRM-free gaming, Ghostwire: Tokyo's arrival on GOG offers another way to own and preserve a copy of the game without depending on a dedicated launcher.
