Ghostwrite Tokyo has received a new update from Bethesda and Tango Gameworks, which adds VRR compatibility to Sony’s system and improves performance. The new May 2 update now allows players to fast-travel earlier in the game, in addition to VVR support and enhanced performance.
In addition, a new “mouse smoothing” option allows PC users to select or disable mouse smoothing. Other modifications include bug fixes, new starting values for player camera options, and tweaks to the gamepad analog stick deadzone.
On PS5 consoles, the update has fixed various performance issues as well as added VRR functionality. Those who are halfway through a playthrough will notice that quick travel appears in the video game, and those who are bothered by the Tengu’s shrieking can now adjust the volume with the “Yokai Volume” slider.
Meanwhile, on May 5, Japan celebrates Children’s Day, which typically involves fish-shaped kites and paper samurai helmets. Gamers may enjoy two new emotes as well as a Paper Kabuto samurai helmet to mark the occasion.
The full list of patch notes may be seen below.
