Phasmophobia has rolled out a new hotfix patch aimed at enhancing gameplay and user interface issues, resulting in a smoother experience for players. This update specifically prevents players from placing equipment on Jackalope nest eggs and allows the Obake ghost to shapeshift during various events. While the patch addresses numerous issues, players may still encounter some lighting glitches, but future updates are expected to deliver significant improvements and new content.
In May 2025, Phasmophobia introduced an update that focuses primarily on fixing bugs reported by players. Though it doesn’t feature extensive new content, this patch ensures the game operates more smoothly while tackling recent player concerns. Phasmophobia immerses players in the role of ghost hunters who investigate haunted locations, gather evidence of paranormal activities, and strive to survive.
Since its early access release in September 2020, the game has achieved considerable success, selling over 20 million copies on PC alone. Its console debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S just ahead of Halloween 2024 further expanded its reach. Kinetic Games provided a hotfix update, version 0.12.1.1, to address issues that arose following the Cursed Hollow event.
Key adjustments included the change regarding Jackalope nest eggs and enhancements to the Obake ghost model for seasonal events. The patch also resolved several gameplay and interface bugs, such as audio issues with the Cursed Hollow leaflet and proper functionality in map voting. Despite these fixes, some challenges remain.
Developers acknowledge potential lighting glitches that may persist while the event is ongoing. Kinetic Games has outlined a roadmap for 2025 and beyond, promising major updates, revised maps, and additional seasonal content. Phasmophobia has recently celebrated a milestone, having sold over 3 million copies across PlayStation, PS VR2, and Xbox Series X/S.
