Welcome back ghost hunters, we’ve heard you, and we're working on it!

We want to thank you for your understanding and patience, a completely new system for VR will take some time to get right, but we're getting there with the help of your feedback!

We're still working on things, and will release several more bug fixes as they get completed.



Our first approach to reducing the overuse of door hiding didn't work too well, so we've reverted several doors for better navigation, but given our ghosts a lesson in how to play hide and seek properly!

In the last update, Willow got the full hiding spot treatment, and the other locations were feeling a little left out! We've gone through said locations to adjust, add or remove hiding spots to make them more consistent and reliable:

• Ghosts will now always check behind doors during hunts, use at your own risk!
• Several doors and light switch positions have been reverted to their pre-VR overhaul position/rotation to help with navigation through rooms
  
• Tanglewood Street House
  • Added a clutter hiding spot in the Nursery
    
  • Added a plywood hiding spot in the basement
    
  • Added cooler boxes in the basement that the ghost can leave fingerprints on
    
• Edgefield Street House
  • Added a locker to the garage
    
  • Rotated a closet to stop a safe spot
    
• Ridgeview Road House

  • Added a clutter hiding spot in the Living Room

  • Added a clutter hiding spot to the Blue Bedroom
    
  • The armchair in the Master Bedroom will now move depending on if that spot is blocked or not
    
  • The washer/dryer hiding spot has been removed to help better spread out rooms with free spots
    
• Bleasdale Farmhouse
  • Added a clutter hiding spot in the ground floor Office
    
  • Added a clutter hiding spot in the Foyer (behind the grandfather clock)
    Moved the fuse box spawn to accommodate
  • Moved the washer and dryer in the Utility Room (and added a blocker)
    
  • Moved the room divider in the Master Bedroom
    
  • Moved the room divider in the Attic
    
  • Moved a cupboard in the Attic

Phasmophobia took the co-operative horror experience by storm when it first launched, and as Kinetic Games continually update the game, things have only got creepier for budding paranormal investigators. The latest update is perhaps one of the most needed for those who like to get up close and personal with Phasmo’s ghouls in virtual reality.

On April 7, at 11am UTC, Kinetic launched the VR Overhaul update for Phasmophobia. With an entirely new VR system now in place, gameplay and ghost hunts should go much smoother for the VR enthusiasts out there. This, however, is probably going to make things all the more terrifying, and you certainly won’t catch me trying to counter an Obake or Banshee in VR.
