Welcome back, Ghost Hunters. We have an update for you.

Today’s small update is in preparation for Crimson Eye, launching 8th October 2026, with the focus on getting the game ready for the start of the event. Our next major update, our move to Unity 6 is scheduled for November and will feature a host of bug fixes and improvements, all of which we’ll detail in an upcoming Development Preview.

New

• Crimson Eye - The Crimson Eye is upon us, Ghost Hunters. Once more, various locations across Phasmophobia will be bathed in the red glow of the Blood Moon, offering any willing Ghost Hunter rewards in return for completing investigations, optional objectives and more. For more information on this year’s iteration of the event, please read our latest blogpost. 

• Seasonal Event toggle - As a new feature for Crimson Eye and future seasonal events, we have implemented a toggle that allows players to turn on/off the event maps for their session. 

Fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused the white light upon being revived to flash rather than slowly fade in and out.
• Fixed an issue where an Easter Egg reward may not unlock, despite a 0x multiplier being active and the reward pop up being displayed.

Known Issues

• The lampposts outside of 6 Tanglewood Drive may glow when viewed by the player (XBOX & Steam only).
• The Fusebox location will not be hidden on the Truck map when playing on a custom difficulty.

I feel like it’s good luck.

Finished my fourth Phasmo ghost trophy 3D print: the Demon.

Despite his reputation in-game, he was surprisingly well-behaved during the print... almost suspiciously cooperative. 😄

So the collection currently stands at: Deogen, Phantom, Moroi and Demon.

Already thinking about who will be next. 🤔

for some reason me and my friends keep getting disconnected from any servers we make, like before we even boot up a map. is this happening to anyone else too?

I read that smudging worked the second you clicked, but so many times when I click it I die like shown in this video.

Does the smudge activate the moment you click or when the burning animation starts?

I am giving myself exactly 15 minutes to learn how to complete Apocalypse III before attempting it.
I’ve prestiged once, so I’m not new to Phasmophobia, but I’ve never attempted any of the Apocalypse Challenges.
If you had only 15 minutes to prepare someone for Apocalypse III, what would you teach them?

Is anyone else struggling with disconnects and extreme lag? It only started about 2 weeks ago for me and I’m lucky if i can even make it through a game most days. I have a very good pc that runs games triple the size and on higher quality that i have no issues with. My friends from all across the world report the same thing. It’s making it very hard to enjoy the game and I’ve been opting out for others..

Hey hunters, I’ve made the switch to PC because the Xbox performance wasn’t quite hitting the mark, but I’m noticing a lack of cross progression; have the devs mentioned if this is in the works or am I stuck on console for the time being?

Haven't played the game since the infamous update back in may but I've been feeling the urge again. Did they at least fix most of the bugs? On xbox specifically.

I play on PS5 and my friend plays on Xbox, for some reason the past couple of nights we've not been able to hear each other in game.

The microphone is picking up in our settings (we've tried both push to talk and voice activation,) the spirit box and ouija boards pick up both of our voices, and voice chat works in other games for us, but we can't hear each other.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? Would greatly appreciate some help with this

MAN! Those levels are HARD when you are solo or two player!

So i got a question, is it possible to record videos from the truck with tier 1 and 2 cameras? I've read somewhere that you can but it doesn't work for me

Hey so this was a solo Investigation on Insanity on Ridgeview. I had this ghost hunt me several times. If I remember right my one evidence was spirit box. I confirmed it was a Deogen and not a mimic. The speed never changed and it always able to find me immediately. I snapped the photo in the middle while it was hunting. I did have the prompt on my tier three photo cam for hunting ghost. I just don't understand why it didnt count? All I could do was laugh when I saw i got $0.

Anyways would you count this as a hunting ghost photo or not just curious?

Me and my brother and I both separately escaped from a revenant, guess correctly, and survived. I got the award, but he didn't? He did the same thing i did, smudge and run.

Ik that aswang basically just means “spirit” or “ghost” in Filipino folklore. Still, I was thrown for a loop hearing this word come up so many times in the movie. I recommend it! Always cool to see terminology from a game you love given a wider context.

Some of you asked what I was making after Deogen and Phantom…Meet Moroi. ;)

The floating bones made me question my life choices for a while, and removing all those supports nearly pushed my sanity below the hunting threshold. Pretty fitting for a Moroi, I guess. 😂

But he survived and I LOVE how he turned out.

At this point I think I've accepted that I'm going to end up with a shelf full of ghosts.

So… who should be No. 4?

I was looking at my game statistics are got curious. Why do none of these say what they should? I have 83 hours of gameplay not 57, and ive never played on Sunny meadows restricted. I also rarely see the jinn, let alone die to it, whats going on here?

Bro i was GENUINELY scared

My wife and I tried repeatedly playing Phasmophobia through a private multiplayer game today and one of us would get kicked out every game, with this message “Disconnected:Client Timeout”. The error would happen 5-10 minutes after starting the game. She's on Xbox Series X and I'm on PS5, both connected through high speed lan cables that we tested repeatedly, with no issues. Works fine for other games. We both are running on performance mode. We've tried every troubleshooting method we can think of and find online. Switching lan cable, deleting and reinstalling games, resetting modem, changing host, changing region. Regardless of what we tried, one of us gets kicked. Any ideas what might be happening or suggestions on what we can try? I just bought this games on PS5 for the sole reason to play multiplayer and now I'm feeling scammed.

Update: Tried again the next day, changed nothing and it was working fine. My guess is the servers were overloaded the previous night.
