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

It's finally here, the grand update for the new Progression system and Equipment Tiers.



A new levelling system has been added, with new rates of progression, new unlocks, and a prestige system.

For this system to function, all current players have been reset to Prestige 1, level 1, this way you can continue to play with your unlocked difficulties and locations. New players will start at Prestige 0, level 1.

Warning: Players now found editing their level will be banned.

LEGACY BADGE
Upon launching the game for the first time after updating, you will be presented with a new screen to choose a unique badge with options based on your pre-update level. Once saved, this is un-editable so choose carefully!

That's right ghost hunters, this thursday you'll be able to get your hands on all the new equipment, the new levelling system and more.



Catch you in the update!

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

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing

With the next update drawing ever closer, it's time to look at the Video Cameras and how Tripods will support them in this new age of ghost huntin'.



Ghost Orbs have sometimes been hard to find, with the new upgrade system, you can hopefully make your Orb hunting journeys much shorter!

Tier I is an old camcorder that Ghost Huntin' Distribution found in the attic of the old office. It's small and a bit beaten up, but it does the job just fine.



Tier II is the Parasonic video camera. HD video is finally here and it makes finding orbs so much eas... Read more

We thought it was about time to show the changes to ID cards and how you'll customise your ID cards now that you have two slots to choose from!

ID cards have received some small changes, some of which we've shown already:

• The platform you are playing on is displayed in the top left of the card's banner.
  
• Before your level is a Roman numeral, displaying your current prestige.
  
• The Experience bar is now coloured to match the selected ID card theme, and is wider.
  
• There are now two slots for badges!

Here's a breakdown of some of the major progression changes coming with the update:

Experience and money
Experience and money values are now tied, if you earn $100, you'll also be earning 100xp. Nice and simple.

The amount of money and experience you'll be earning has skyrocketed when compared to the live version of the game. Individual values have been tweaked (like moving the bone out of the reward multiplier) to make gameplay feel more rewarding and encourage players to complete the main objectives.

Money, money, money...

We heard you loud and clear, and now it's finally coming...
Phasmophobia will enter Early Access for consoles on Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStationVR2 this August. Keep your eyes peeled for a more detailed release date in the coming weeks.

When Phasmophobia launches on consoles it will start with the Progression 2.0 update, and be updated regularly alongside the PC version with content and bug fixes.

Reporting and player bans will work across all platforms, and we've added the ability to block other players from the journal, which will mute them indefinitely until you unblock them.

Lastly, all platforms will feature optional crossplay, and players can see which platforms their teammates are playing on by the icon displayed on their ID card.

We hope you're just as excited as we are to welcome in a new community of Ghost Huntin' Investigators!

Fingerprints have been one of the more reliable evidence types in Phasmophobia. But we felt it could have a few things adjusted to make it feel more immersive, more fun in certain situations (we're looking at you High-School gym...), and more interactive.

Firstly, we've renamed 'Fingerprints' to 'Ultraviolet'. The main reason was to address getting Fingerprints in some of those more open areas that are really frustrating for players. If your ghost refused to move somewhere with doors or other interactables, you might never get that Evidence!

To remedy this, if a ghost steps into a Salt Pile* it will now only show Footprints if it has Ultraviolet Evidence! Non 'Ultraviolet' gho... Read more

We've had a lot of questions about how Equipment Upgrades will actually work in-game, so this week we're showing you some WIP images on the UI, and how you'll be upgrading your ghost-hunting items!

As everyone will be reset back to level 1 (prestige 1), you'll have to start fresh with little money, and only Tier I starter items to complete your contracts. As you complete contracts you'll level up, earn more money than ever, and start to unlock new equipment items in the shop.

As you progress, certain levels will unlock the ability to purchase different Equipment Upgrades. To Upgrade an item you'll need to save up some cash, (as upgrades aren't cheap!) but fear not, each tier of e... Read more

With Progression 2.0 on the horizon, we thought it was a good time to share how this update will be released, as it's split into several parts.

We're releasing Progression 2.0 in this way so that players can experience the new Equipment and
leveling system sooner instead of waiting around for an extra six months.

We know that there's still a reasonable amount of time between now and the update, we're working hard on releasing this as soon as possible, but we also have some additional big news to share in the coming months...

Welcome back we've got some news for you!

So as everybody knows, with Progression 2.0 we will be resetting everyone's level back to zero. However, we will be pushing you all to Prestige 1 so that you don't have to unlock difficulties or maps that you are already playing (as well as giving you the first cool badge instantly!).

Alongside this reset, we'll be permanently immortalizing your pre-wipe level with a badge that is displayed on your character's arm.

Upon logging in for the first time after the Progression update, you will be greeted with a window to select how you want your badge to look. The number of options you have available will be determined by how far you progressed before that update!

Once it's locked in,... Read more

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

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



The next major update will be Progression Part 1 (v0.9.0), and will make way for the new leveling system; player levels, money, and equipment will be wiped and set to 0, however, to allow users to continue playing as they have been, everyone who has played the game pre-wipe will be fast-tracked to Prestige 1, level 0.

This will reset your progress but keep all difficulties and locations available for play when the reset hits. A future development preview will reveal what your pre-wipes level badge will look like, keep your eyes peeled for that soon!

After the successful launch of the v8.0 Tempest update, it's time to give you a peek into what's next for the game!

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing



Firstly we'd like to announce that Progression part 1; v9.0, will be the next major update, coming shortly after v8.1. The plan is to have this out as soon as possible and will include the new leveling system for players, as well as the long-awaited equipment upgrades for your investigations!

We've seen a lot of players' concerns about why we're doing a wipe, and what will happen to their current progression, so here are a few quick insights:

• The wipe is needed to make way for the new leveling system, including pre...

Welcome back! We've got an update for you.



Firstly we'd like to apologize. In our haste to remove money and XP farmers from the game, we penalized our Custom Difficulty goers way too harshly and bypassed the core concept of what custom was originally advertised as "Play your way".

In the long term, we will be rebalancing the entirety of Custom Difficulty's reward multipliers, to make sure that they are fairer, not overly rewarding when lower risk is taken, and stop cheesy tactics to farm easy rewards.

Today, we're removing the -60% reduction for Custom games, and adding the following until the rebalancing is finalized, early next year with 0.8.1:

• Custom Reward Multipliers will now have a maximum cap of x15, displayed with the actual multiplier beside it in brackets.

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

With all of the recent paranormal interference, the weather around certain locations has become more hazardous and intense! Ghosts have been haunting locations longer and longer each night, with some disappearing just before the sun comes up. Will you brave these new conditions?

With this update comes a host of small features, improvements, and options! Additionally, there will also be another larger update in the near future (8.1) to add more features and surprises!

If you are currently forcing DirectX10, please disable it as that will possibly cause issues and crashes!


From now until Early January, you can take part in the Phasmophobia 2022 Holiday event!

• Earn yourself a Unique Holiday Trophy for your collection as well as an exc...
