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

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



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!

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



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.

We're currently hard at work getting the Progression 2.0 update together for everyone, but we wanted to give you something fun to do over the Easter period!

In the coming weeks, we will have some Dev Previews to share with you about how the new equipment will work, as well as a few examples!

Happy Easter everyone!

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!

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

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...

Players can report each person they play with once a day, using the in-game journal. This system will prevent people from spam reporting against someone they may not like or have an issue with.

Every report is viewable by the development team and filtered in a way so that we can ban people accordingly to their offenses and the number of reports received. We can also see who reported them, at what time, and much more.

You won't be banned because one party decided to “troll report” you for being bad at the game.




When banned, you will be notified in-game with an error message alongside the remaining duration of your ban. Bans will stop players from entering th... Read more

Welcome back ghost hunters and truck dwellers, we've got some news for you!

We thought we'd spend a short moment recapping how development has gone over 2022, and give you an updated version of the roadmap we released earlier this year.



The original 2022 roadmap

As you can see, things didn't exactly go to plan!

Originally the VR overhaul was planned to release earlier than April, allowing us to get knee-deep into Custom Difficulty's development. As it took longer, we pushed Custom back a couple of months and gave the community three smaller patches of content to fill the gap in content.

The new updated roadmap
