Phasmophobia is a 4 player online co-op psychological horror where you and your team must use all the ghost-hunting equipment at your disposal in order to gather as much evidence as you can.

Paranormal activity is on the rise and it’s up to you and your team to use all the ghost-hunting equipment at your disposal in order to gather as much evidence as you can.

You and your team of paranormal investigators will enter haunted locations filled with paranormal activity and try to gather as much evidence as you can.

Use your ghost-hunting equipment to find and record evidence to sell on to a ghost removal team.

Developer Kinetic Games announced that Phasmophobia will enter Early Access on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStationVR2 on October 29, 2024 at $19.99/£16.75/€19.50.

Just in time for Halloween, players on PS5, PS VR2, Xbox Series X|S and Steam will be able to team up with friends to enjoy the exhilaration of hunting for and being hunted by a range of ghosts, ghouls and spirits whatever platform they play on.

Entering early access on consoles is not the only exciting update for Phasmophobia; Kinetic Games is also celebrating a huge milestone. Since entering Steam early access in 2020, the game has sold almost 20 million copies globally and has achieved more than 550,000 overwhelmingly positive reviews, making it one of the most popular titles on the platform.

“We are so happy to see Phasmophobia enter console early access,” Stated Daniel Knight, CEO and Lead Developer at Kinetic Games. “The community has been asking for console versions, and has waited a little while for it to happen. The development team at Kinetic Games have worked exceptionally hard to make this request a reality.”

To celebrate the amazing Phasmophobia community, there will be a Halloween Special event that, for the first time, will include a community goal-oriented task where players on all platforms can work together to permanently unlock the Blood Moon weather in the game. Additionally, players will be able to earn a new badge and trophy by completing different community goals.

This Halloween, the Blood Moon rises.

From the start of the event, Blood Moon weather will rain down constantly across multiple locations in Phasmophobia. 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.

And finally, the PC version will also be receiving an update which will improve general performance, fix community reported bugs, as well as implementing a new event board with new challenges and rewards.
