Phasmophobia beta update makes the ghost better at tracking you down

Kinetic Games has released another update for Phasmophobia over on Steam. There are many nifty bug fixes and quality of life changes, but the more stand out changes come to the ghost. Oh, dear.


If you manage to give the spectre the slip, the ghost will now stick closer to your last known location, rather than wandering off and searching further away. So you may not get as much time to collect yourself if you manage to get away from it. There are other smaller changes, too, such as how the ghost interacts with doors. Now the spirit will open them further, which I imagine gives it more to peer in at.


The candlelight range has also been increased, which is intended to fix issues "where holding a candle would drop your sanity in some locations". You'll also find that the dirty water objective has been removed, though it remains as photo evidence. Kinetic Games has also added a new button to add the max amount of each item "so you don't have to spam click each item". Excellent news.

Phasmophobia's new update means ghosts can follow you around corners

As if Phasmophobia needed to get creepier, the latest update means ghosts can follow you around corners. This is in addition to a number of bug fixes and small tweaks to make the horror game that much smoother to play.


Developer Kinetic Game put the patch notes up on Twitter, split into fixes, changes, and new features. The two most noteworthy points are part of the changes, where it's mentioned that in professional difficulty, you won't be told if ghosts only respond to groups or not, and that ghosts will now move to your last known location when they lose sight of you. In other words, you'll need to do better than taking a sharp turn to lose a ghost that's giving you chase.


Prison won't always be available in the contract selection, nor will contract difficulty be random. Gamepad navigation on contract selection has been fixed, as has the ghosts boundary in prison. You can swap the sound to mono, the new lighting in school, asylum, and prison has been removed due to bugs, and localisation has been updated.
