Phasmophobia
A paranormal investigation game where players identify ghosts by gathering evidence, using specialized equipment and surviving increasingly dangerous hunts.

Xbox Series When, why and how it was created
Phasmophobia grew from a PC paranormal-investigation concept into a long-running cooperative game with regular systems, map and progression updates. Console versions later expanded the same investigation loop to PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2 and Xbox Series X|S with optional cross-play.
Indie PC to consoles
Kinetic Games launched on PC and expanded the game through years of updates before the 2024 PS5/PS VR2/Xbox Series launch with cross-play.
A living ruleset
Equipment, maps, progression and ghost behavior change over time, so guides need update/version dates.
Road to 1.0
After previously targeting 2026, Kinetic Games moved Phasmophobia 1.0 and the Nintendo Switch 2 release to the second half of 2027.
