Welcome back, we’ve got an update for you.

Finally, the VR update is amongst us! Rejoice!

There's loads to unpack here for our VR players, as well as some little nuggets of content for everyone else. But fear-not ghost hunters, the 'Custom Difficulty' update will be soon approaching, and it's a big one... There's also a small update coming even sooner than that! Now, onto the patch notes:



An entirely new VR system has been incorporated into Phasmophobia!

We've had great response from players about the last update, but we've found that Hantu were still not fast enough unless it was snowing. We've kept the lower speeds the same, but increased their speed when the fuse box has been off for some time during all weather.

• Hantu can no longer turn on the power, as this would stop them accelerating
  
• Hantu have received hunt speed changes
  
  • 1.4 = 15°C+
    
  • 1.75 = 12°C
    
  • 2.1 = 9°C
    
  • 2.3 = 6°C
    
  • 2.5 = 3°C

Welcome back ghost hunters, we've got some news for you.

In light of the most recent Discord Poll, we’ve decided to experiment with being more transparent in writing patch notes when we update the game.

Specifics are found in spoiler tags, this way you can enjoy reading patch notes normally and spoiler free as before, or you can deep dive into the numbers and fine tunings of each update.




Some of the ghosts still weren't sitting quite right after our recent overhaul, so we've gone back and made additional changes to those that were suffering the most #justiceforbanshee

• Demon Demons have had their weakness replaced with the Banshee’s, as it is more thematical and serves as a better counter to their strength

Welcome back, we've got some news for you.

Several sightings have been noted of cursed objects, in locations where a ghost is haunting. These must be the cause of ghosts being trapped there. You might be able to use these to your advantage, but be careful, we don’t know what they’re capable of.

We’ve also had reports of a strange new ghost type.




Several new items have been added: The Cursed Possessions.

Each location will feature 1 of 6 items, randomly chosen at the start of each contract. There are several spawn points for each item, so get searching!

Cursed Possessions trade sanity for information, but be warned; using these items can cause an additional negative effect, so think carefully if you want to anger the ghost for the rest of the investigation.
