Hey everyone, we would just like to clarify that any form of hacking or modding will result in a permanent ban from our multiplayer servers. We have recently banned a lot of players and will continue to do so. To avoid getting banned make sure you uninstall any hacks or mods you are using and do not run software such as cheat engine or wemod while running the game.

If you spot a hacker while playing please make sure to report them using the recent players tab in the journal so we can take action.

The only acceptable mods are post processing mods such as Reshade which you will not be banned for.

Hey everyone!

We know you're all geared up for the upcoming progression update. We've been working super hard to make it something really special for you! But, in the spirit of transparency, there's been a little change of plans. We've decided it's best to give the progression update a bit more love and care, which means we'll need two extra weeks to get it all wrapped up and ready to go in mid-August. It's super important to us that everything we deliver is just right, so we really appreciate your patience.

At the moment we have no plans to delay the console release which is planned for late August however we are still assessing this.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for some fun sneak peeks into what we've been up to - we're excited to share what's coming! As always, thanks so much for being a part of this amazing community. We can't wait to bring you the biggest update Phasmophobia has ever received!

Happy huntin'

Hey everyone,

When closing the game please do not alt+f4, close through steam, shut down your PC or anything similar otherwise you will lose your recent progress. Always make sure you are closing through the quit button on the main menu.

We are looking into fixes for this but for now please quit the game using the main menu button only.

We're aware of a crash in the latest hotfix caused by your non custom difficulties having a 15x multiplier. A fix will be out in roughly 30 minutes.

Please restart Steam in 30 minutes and check for an update. This patch will not have patch notes.

This patch will also fix the save file not being backed up correctly during gameplay.

Please restart the game to get the crash fix for those that had a 15x multiplier on a non custom difficulty.

Please do not alt+f4 or close the game through steam as this will corrupt your save file.

Dear Phasmophobia Community,

First and foremost, we'd like to thank you all for your support and that you are just as excited as we are for the console release.

Due to a recent fire incident in our office building and unpredicted development issues, our ability to test and develop has been significantly impacted.

After careful consideration we have made the tough decision to delay the console release, initially set for August, while we get everything sorted. We are now aiming for a special launch during the week leading up to Halloween this October. This gives us the needed time to perfect and fine-tune everything. Your patience and understanding mean everything to us, and we can't wait to bring Phasmophobia to consoles.

The Phasmophobia Development Team.

Edit: The fire did not touch our office and we are all fine. We currently can't access our development equipment and are all working from home.

Hey everyone, we are aware of the situation with the unity cloud save data not loading. We are looking into it and will update here when we know more.

Going through the legacy screen will not reset your progress.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update: This has now been resolved however if you have completed the Easter event in the past 2 hours you might need to complete the event again.

Ghost Hunters, let's celebrate.

Next week marks 5 years since Phasmophobia launched on Steam and the very first Ghost Hunters were sent to investigate reports of paranormal activity.

To say the following 5 years surpassed everything we at Kinetic Games could have ever imagined would be an understatement and we are forever grateful to over 25 million of you who have joined us on this journey so far.

From the 15th September, we’ll be celebrating in a variety of ways. Read about what we have in-store here: https://www.kineticgames.co.uk/blog/phasmophobia-5-year-anniversary

Welcome back, Ghost Hunters.

We want to start today by apologising for our Player Character Update that launched last week. It’s clear we missed the mark on this, and didn’t deliver on our promises to you. Your feedback and your reviews were justified. Our team has grown significantly over the last year, and with that comes a higher standard that, in this case, we failed to meet.

Tomorrow, May 12th, our next update for Phasmophobia will bring with it many fixes, iterations and changes to the game that bring things in-line with our vision for this update. While we know improvements can still be made, we believe this will provide a much better experience for everyone playing Phasmophobia.

Over the past week, we’ve read feedback from across the entire community. The frustration and disappointment has been clear. Below is a look at the patch notes, with changes and fixes built on that feedback, that will go live with tomorrow’s update.

Read the full list of fixes and more about changes that are coming in our latest blog: https://www.kineticgames.co.uk/news/phasmophobia-v01710-patch-notes

@everyone
Hey everyone. The update is now out to fix a lot of issues everyone has been having as well as some changes and additions.

I would just like to thank everyone for all the support over the past couple of days as it's been a pretty crazy and intense time for me as I wasn't expecting anything like this to ever happen. On release day I was expecting a maximum of 200 players on the server at most, the game is currently sitting at 7000 players connected and is rising every single day.

All of the update notes can be found in the #change-log channel between the 20th and now.
Full list: https://steamcommunity.com/games/739630/announcements/detail/2767982326138620358
Please report any bugs you find in #754893453585940500.

Thanks everyone!

@everyone
A hotfix is out to hopefully fix a lot of issues. Please let me know if you are still having problems.

@everyone Sorry for the pings. Another hotfix is out to hopefully fix the voice recognition issues as well as some other issues.

There are some known game breaking bugs though that I will fix tomorrow.
1. When the Ghost appears on Tanglewood it will sometimes teleport all players back to the Truck and make the rest of the game unplayable.

Another issue is the voice chat, there is a bug at the moment where you will sometimes be disconnected from the voice server when loading into a level. I will look into a fix for this but it might take some time to fix.

Please report any other bugs in #754893453585940500

@everyone
Hey everyone a new update is out that you can see in #change-log

The server is almost at max capacity, I have contacted the server provider to upgrade the servers however this will not be done until tomorrow or hopefully later tonight so you may fail to connect to the server tonight but this will be resolved tomorrow.

So with this new update I have added in Steam Authentication to be able to connect to the server which should hopefully kick all the pirated copies off the server but they can still play solo. It is not live yet however I will turn it on 50 minutes from now. Please let me know if you get disconnected and fail to reconnect after this happens. You will need to be on the new update to be able to play after this.

Please keep reporting bugs in #754893453585940500.

@everyone
Sorry about the ping.

We now have the PartyBeast bot in the server. It's used for creating voice channels that will automatically delete themselves when not in use. Please join the PartyBeast channel to create one. We're going to start deleting the voice channels we have setup and migrate over to PartyBeast fully.

You can use !pbrename (ROOM NAME) to change your room name. !pblock will lock your room, and !pbunlock will unlock it. Please use these commands in the #old-looking-for-group channel. If you have any further questions, DM myself or a Moderator.

Thank you!

I'm not going to do a ping for this one but if everyone can please help test the beta build it would help out a lot. You can see what has changed in #change-log. Since it is quite a big update in terms of code changes it needs a lot of testing to make sure it's ready for the main build.

If you would like to help please see the #2021-beta-read-me channel.

Thanks everyone.

#

I am currently looking for more beta testers. Please see the #change-log for what has changed. There are still bugs that need testing with it before it gets put on to the live build so if you would like to help please check the #2021-beta-read-me channel.

Hey @everyone

Sorry but the servers are currently down, the server provider is aware and are working hard to fix it as soon as possible.

I want to also let everyone know that the servers are going to be upgraded over the next few days to stop this from happening again. As part of this upgrade though we have had to unfortunately remove the Australia server and everyone there will now have to connect to Asia which is hosted in Singapore. You will still have the option in the current update but it won't connect you, this is removed in the next update which will hopefully be in the next few days.

This next update also has a lot of optimisations and bug fixes for all the major and most common bugs being reported. You can try out this update on beta right now, see the #2021-beta-read-me for more info.

Hey everyone,

The next big bug fix update is now out!

With this update there is also a few additions for Halloween that I won't spoil.

#

There is currently an issue affecting some people with connecting to and joining the servers. I will hopefully get a fix out for this soon. In the meantime I have created a beta branch so you can swap back to the previous update and play there. You can do this by right clicking the game > properties > betas > In the dropdown select "Old Build".

sweet spoke
#

There is an update out on beta at the moment to fix the black screen then client timeout after a game bug. This will also fix the host changing after each game. It still needs a lot of testing though before it's on the main game. If you want to test it out please see the #2021-beta-read-me channel for info.

sweet spoke

Can everyone who is getting 0 servers please swap to the beta. There is a potential fix on there. PM me if it fixes or doesn't fix it please.
See #2021-beta-read-me to learn how to swap to beta.

As the year is coming to a close, we at Kinetic Games want to say a huge thanks for playing Phasmophobia. We thank you for reporting bugs, giving your feedback and appreciation for each update we release!

As a thanks, we thought it was about time that we let you know our major development plans for next year, so you can get an idea of what to expect over the course of 2022!
