I remember seeing it for the first time in a videogamedunkey video, thinking it was a bit silly. But then one October, I decided to pick it up on a whim and I was sold. Despite its Early Access status and somewhat janky gameplay, there was a genuine charm to it and every subsequent update made it a bit better until my poor little Microsoft Surface Book 2 couldn’t handle it anymore. I think back to those halcyon days, desperately wondering when the game would be ported to consoles. It’s a bit irrelevant now since I’m rocking an awesome Alienware M16, and after 300 hours, I can say I’m somewhat of a Phasmophobia savant. But for those who don’t have rockin’ gaming laptops, the ghost-hunting phenomenon has finally made it to consoles and…it’s fine, I guess? I do want to preface this review by saying I do unequivocally love Phasmophobia. Despites its flaws, I think it works really well as both a really fun cooperative...

During the Blood Moon, we’re tasking Ghost Hunters to work together to achieve a set of 3 Community Goals, each with increasingly larger ID card rewards in order to unlock the final rewards – A Trophy and Blood Moon weather as a permanent unlock for all players post event. This new weather type will have a chance to modify your future hunts, while providing better rewards and modified ghost behaviour when it takes place. Ghost Hunters will have from October 28, 2024 to November 13, 2024 to take part in this event. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/4bbd9d8a9eafa2086a4ce9e3c11025af9de4c2c8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/1460bf8ac97fbcf23a3794327292b795cbe23a92.png The Blood Moon isn’t the only thing coming to Phasmophobia this Halloween, we’ll be releasing an update on PC alongside the event itself too.

Thanks, The Kinetic Games Team The Phasmophobia hype might have died down, but if you never gave it a shot, you might want to pick it up before the price goes upJul 14, 2024 - VG247If you've been meaning to pick up Phasmophobia, you might want to do so soon, as the price is going up later this year. While you don't hear about it as much these days, Phasmophobia is still going relatively strong. It's received consistent updates over the years, though the one thing that many have been waiting on is a console release. Well, good news for those of you who have been waiting for that time, as in a recent Steam post, developer Kinetic Games finally confirmed that the console release is coming this year. "We're thrilled to announce that the console update will be released this year, during our in-game Halloween Event," Kinetic Games wrote. "Once launched, all players will have access to cross-play, allowing you to play the newest version of the game with everyone, including those using VR on any platform." The team also explained that it is "collaborating with Unity to work on the console release, as well as general performance optimisations for both console and PC" which will "ensure that the console update runs optimally and to the high standards that we set for the game. Working with them means that we can work alongside them on new content for all platforms, allowing faster development of new updates. Future updates for the game will be released on all platforms simultaneously to ensure that cross-play is always available."

While in theory having people with you should help mitigate the fear, the likes of Demonologist, Labyrinthine, The Outlast Trials, and Lethal Company prove that's really not the case. Before them all, however, Phasmophobia was a key figure in sparking a wave of attention for the genre. As it moves closer to the 1.0 launch, developer Kinetic Games warns potential players that a price increase is on the way. Read the rest of the story...

Firstly we want to thank our incredibly passionate community for being patient with us while we work on the console update. With last year's estimated release date ultimately being delayed, we shared the frustration with console players and had to make sure that when we announced a new release date, it was one that we could meet. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/684396fe62057f7c1e1026edd6dbe2a95c47088c.png We are collaborating with Unity to work on the console release, as well as general performance optimisations for both console and PC, this will ensure that the console update runs optimally and to the high standards that we set for the game.

Will consoles support voice recognition? From day one, the consoles will support voice chat. You will be able to chat with your friends, and the ghost will be able to hear you during a hunt. However, the ghost, Spirit Box, Ouija Board and Monkey Paw will not support voice recognition at release. We are working on a solution for this, and will update you as soon as anything changes. In the meantime, we have a very easy-to-use preset text pop-up solution in place. No typing required. An example can be seen below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/56c7eba55c86a2904831124af87bf1bd49df5f25.png How much is it going to cost? We will be increasing the price of Phasmophobia on all platforms later this year to $19.99, due to the amount of content and playtime added since the start of early access we feel this is a fair increase. What will the age rating be? Phasmophobia will be rated as "16+/teen", however, this will vary in some regions. Will it be available on Xbox Game Pass? Currently we have no plans to be on Xbox Game Pass. What update will console release with? All platforms will be on the current major version, 0.10 at the console release. New content such as the farmhouse reworks will release afterwards. If you have any further questions, please head to our Developer QnA channel in our Discord server where we have previously given answers. Feel free to ask any unanswered questions and we will be happy to do another FAQ in the future.

Offering gamers a unique first-person/VR haunted house experience from the “comfort” of their own homes during last year's Covid-19 lockdowns on Halloween, the only thing more shocking than Phasmophobia's ghosts was learning that the game was created by a single developer. Now, after bringing on a few more devs and releasing some minor updates over the past year, the team at Kinetic Games have released the game's biggest update yet, Exposition, that introduces two new ghost types, new equipment, and many more changes/fixes. As a result, Phasmophobia's player base tripled over the weekend with a peak of 62k concurrent players. The highest player count the game has seen since its peak of 112k players during its record-breaking first month on Steam.Phasmophobia, a Co-Op VR Horror Game Made by 1 Person, Just Cracked Steam's Top 5 Most Played ListOct 12, 2020 - GitHypOver the summer, we saw the meteoric rise of indie games like Fall Guys and Among Us while gamers searched for new ways to socialize during the Covid-19 lockdown. Now, with Halloween just a few weeks away and gamers still stuck indoors, a new 4-player co-op horror game called “Phasmophobia” is seeing similar explosive growth on Steam. During its second weekend on Steam, Phasmophobia's player counts peaked at 61k concurrent players – placing the game as high as #6 on Steam's list of most played games. And in its third weekend, the game saw a new peak of 86k concurrent players that placed it at #5 on Steam. Although Phasmophobia doesn't require VR to play on PC, such high player counts for a game with a VR-focus is extremely rare on Steam. And despite its janky mechanics and numerous bugs, players seem to be loving the PT-esque experience with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews from 13k owners who paid $13.99 for Early Access. Similar to Fall Guys and Among Us, another huge factor in Phasmophobia's success has been its popularity on streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Over the weekend, Phasmophobia easily topped other popular new releases like Crash Bandicoot 4 and Star Wars: Squadrons, hitting #1 on Twitch with a peak of 247k concurrent viewers. But what's most impressive is that the new ghost-hunting game's developer, Kinetic Games, consists of only a single developer - something that probably won't last long now that the scary game is a huge success.
