During the Xbox Partner Preview, Kinetic Games, developer and publisher of the smash hit ghost hunting Steam game Phasmophobia, released a brand-new trailer which confirmed the game will enter early access on consoles on October 29th. Just in time for Halloween, players on PS5, PS VR2, Xbox Series X/S and Steam will be able to team up with friends to enjoy the exhilaration of hunting for and being hunted by a range of ghosts, ghouls and spirits whatever platform they play on.
Entering early access on consoles is not the only exciting update for Phasmophobia; Kinetic Games is also celebrating a huge milestone. Since entering Steam early access in 2020, the game has sold almost 20 million copies globally and has achieved more than 550,000 overwhelmingly positive reviews, making it one of the most popular titles on the platform.
“We are so happy to see Phasmophobia enter console early access” Stated Daniel Knight, CEO and Lead Developer at Kinetic Games “the community has been asking for console versions, and has waited a little while for it to happen. The development team at Kinetic Games have worked exceptionally hard to make this request a reality.”
To celebrate the amazing Phasmophobia community, there will be a Halloween Special event that, for the first time, will include a community goal-oriented task where players on all platforms can work together to permanently unlock the Blood Moon weather in the game. Additionally, players will be able to earn a new badge and trophy by completing different community goals.
And finally, the PC version will also be receiving an update which will improve general performance, fix community reported bugs, as well as implementing a new event board with new challenges and rewards.
Phasmophobia is available now on PC via Steam, PS5, PS VR2 and Xbox X/S on October 29th 2024, priced at $19.99/£16.75/€19.50.
