The highly anticipated console release of „Phasmophobia“ is set to take place during the Halloween 2024 event. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S owners can look forward to experiencing the popular ghost-hunting game between early October and early November 2024. This period will also mark a price increase for the game from $13.99 to $19.99 across all platforms.

Originally launched in September 2020 as a Steam Early Access title, „Phasmophobia“ quickly became a massive success, selling approximately 15.1 million copies as of July 2024.

The upcoming release is expected to delight console-owning horror game enthusiasts who have been eagerly awaiting their opportunity to join the ghost-hunting adventure.

Phasmophobia Gets New Console Release Window 9 Months After Its Indefinite Delay

Nine months after being postponed indefinitely, the highly anticipated console versions of Phasmophobia are finally back on track. Kinetic Games announced that the game's PlayStation and Xbox ports will be launching during their upcoming Halloween 2024 event.

Though a precise release date remains under wraps, historical trends offer some insight. In previous years, Kinetic Games initiated Halloween events in October. For example, the 2023 event began on October 26, while 2022's edition kicked off on October 7. This pattern suggests that the new release window is likely to fall between early October and early November 2024.

Phasmophobia's Halloween events usually span several weeks, giving ample opportunity for console gamers to finally experience the gameplay that has captivated PC players. This announcement has been a long-awaited update since unforeseen challenges, including a fire at Kinetic Games‘ offices, had previously delayed the console versions.

By planning the release around a popular event, Kinetic Games aims to maximize player engagement and excitement, marking a significant step forward in the game's expansion to new platforms.
