Prepare yourself for a spine-chilling experience as Kinetic Games proudly announces the anticipated release of their hit cooperative survival horror game, Phasmophobia, on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Mark your calendars for October 29th, when these consoles will finally welcome the haunting adventures for just $19.99. Excitingly, the PS5 version will have PlayStation VR2 support, and players across platforms can enjoy the terror together thanks to crossplay capabilities.
Phasmophobia first captured the imaginations of PC gamers when it debuted on Steam in September 2020. Since then, it has achieved astonishing success with nearly 20 million copies sold globally and more than half a million positive reviews. Daniel Knight, CEO and Lead Developer at Kinetic Games, expressed his enthusiasm for the console version, sharing that it’s a dream come true for both fans and developers who have painstakingly worked to make this long-awaited release a reality.
For those unfamiliar with Phasmophobia, it offers a gripping 4-player online co-op experience where you become part of a team of paranormal investigators delving into haunted locales. Your mission is to gather evidence of supernatural phenomena using an arsenal of ghost-hunting tools. You’ll sell your findings to a ghost removal team while facing off against the unknown.
Phasmophobia immerses players with realistic graphics and sound design, paired with a minimal user interface that keeps the tension high. With each ghost you encounter boasting its own unique traits and abilities, no two investigations are ever the same. Equip yourself with tools like EMF Readers, Spirit Boxes, Thermometers, and Night Vision Cameras to track and document your ghostly encounters. Beware of cursed possessions, which offer insights or powers at the cost of your sanity.
The game offers a wealth of options to tailor your paranormal investigations, featuring over 10 unique haunted locations filled with twists and hiding places. Choose from five difficulty levels and enjoy hand-crafted weekly challenges that push you and your team to your limits. Whether you wish to dive headfirst into the terrifying unknown or prefer to strategize from the safety of the truck, Phasmophobia offers gameplay that suits any style.
Multiplayer enthusiasts will find joy in the game’s co-operative nature, allowing you and your friends to join forces in uncovering the truth behind each haunting. With up to four players and flexibility in input types, teamwork remains the cornerstone of survival.
Gear up for an eerie escapade that promises to be unlike anything you’ve experienced before, as Phasmophobia makes its haunting debut on consoles.
