Ghostwire Tokyo er ikke som sådan nogen åben verden, men du har dog friheden til at udforske dine omgivelser, og faktisk lader det til at udvikleren Tango Gameworks har fokuseret på også at indfange essensen af Tokyo, selvom at du i princippet bevæger dig rundt i en spøgelsesby.
I et interview med EDGE Magazine, så siger Development Manager, Masato Kimura, at de har ønsket at sikre sig, at alle de fede elementer fra Tokyo er til stede i spillet:
"The game is using basically all the cool elements of Tokyo — we've kind of condensed them all and grouped them into a sandbox that would fit inside our game. There's a lot of different parts of Tokyo that are connected together in a really cool way. It's a very high contrast. What's new and what's old — it's all kind of blended but not really mixed together. They're side by side."
