Phasmophobia devs offer update on game’s console release

Phasmophobia hit it big back in 2020 when the game was released in Early Access, launching to near immediate success. In the years since, the team at Kinetic Games have continued to work diligently on the game, improving it across the board. Following multiple delays for the console release, the team have now offered an update on the port’s current status.

Initially intended to launch last August, the team at Kinetic Games were forced to delay the console release of Phasmophobia to October due to an office fire. This was later pushed even further back to 2024, citing “unforeseen challenges in adapting the game for consoles.”

While we still do not yet know exactly when Phasmophobia will come to consoles, the team took to their Steam page to offer an update, saying: “As many of you know, Console was delayed from last year's predicted release date due to several reasons. We're still hard at work trying to get this ready for you eager console players, and it'll arrive as soon as it's ready.”

They continued, “On the other hand, with the delay comes extra changes for console players on day one; the new and improved upcoming Shop experience, the upcoming adjustments to the leveling and equipment tiers, as well as minor balance changes. This will all result in Console players getting the best experience as soon as they receive the game, instead of large portions of gameplay and progression changing just after it releases.”

Finally the team concluded with a slight silver lining, claiming that “when it is released, console players will receive a game that looks and runs better. We plan to implement a large amount of optimizations across the board, which will allow us to keep the game's graphical quality as close to PC as possible.”

Alongside this update on the status of the console port, Kinetic Games released a full roadmap for 2024 which can be found HERE.
