Where to play

Phasmophobia is a cooperative ghost-hunting game where players investigate haunted locations, identify spirits through evidence gathering, and complete objectives while managing fear and equipment. Released in 2020, the indie title has maintained an active presence across PC and major console platforms including PlayStation VR2 and Nintendo Switch 2.

The game continues receiving updates and seasonal content. Recent patches have addressed longstanding quality-of-life issues, including item hotkeys to streamline panic-induced deaths. Map reworks like the redesigned 13 Willow Street have retained classic layouts while modernizing their presentation. Kinetic Games has also implemented Twitch Drops to reward engagement with special ID cards and cosmetics. Community focus has centered on guides for mechanics like the Spirit Box communication system and bone collection, alongside a prestige system allowing players to reset progress for additional rewards. Some players have attempted version downgrading, though the studio warns this risks account bans.
