The first update for the Xbox version of Ghostwire: Tokyo has arrived today, with the most notable addition to this update being the arrival of "performance enhancements", aiming to improve how the game runs on Series X|S.
These enhancements even include a new HFR Performance Graphics Mode for Xbox Series S users:
"We’ve added various optimizations to improve overall game performance, particularly on Xbox consoles—including an HFR Performance Graphics Mode for Xbox Series S, which should result in a smoother experience when enabled. You can find this new setting under Options > Graphics."
Aside from this, it's fairly minimal stuff including an expanded underground art gallery near the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, as well as a whole bunch of bug fixes. Here's a bit more about that gallery update:
"In the Spider’s Thread Update, we added an art gallery near the Shibuya Scramble Crossing to display the winning entries in our Ghostwire: Tokyo Photo Mode Contest. In this update, we’ve expanded the underground gallery include works from the Tango Gameworks Concept Artists, such as the seasonal artwork that you might have seen on our social media channels, and concept art for the Spider’s Thread Update!"
It'll be interesting to see how this first Xbox update for Ghostwire: Tokyo affects the performance on Series X and Series S, as there was a fair bit of criticism back at launch - with Digital Foundry even calling it a "big disappointment".
Give it a try for yourself, and let us know if you've noticed any improvements down in the comments below!

Just finished it, ran fine on my X, now onto the spider thread dlc...
Was an absolutely superb game. One in which the more you invest (along with an interest in Japan) the greater the rewards are.
@TheSimulator just like your comment then
Very underrated game. Platinumed it on PS5 and now I'm playing it again on Series X. My TV supports VRR & 120hz so I play on high frame rate with v sync. It's pretty smooth for the most part. However the Dualsense Edge is a game changer and so much more immersive with the haptics and adaptive triggers. So I prefer to play Ghostwire on PS5 over Xbox any day.
Finished game already and had my fill. I hope things are more ironed out now on Xbox. Playing in HFR Quality (VSync) was a pretty great experience - getting both the nice reflections and much more responsive controls.
It was a great game, but too much of a collect-a-thon for me to do everything outside the main story.
@TheSimulator same here...
Yeah, the japanese background is cool.. but that's about it !!
But still no physical edition on Xbox, even though there is one for PS5...
