Midnight Ghost Hunt News

Hey all, we have a patch ready for you today! This patch addresses the game crash that was occurring when using the region filter in the server browser filter options.

We are aware of the dedicated server issue with props lagging/teleporting around. We are actively looking into this, and hopefully will have more to share on this very soon.

Also, keep an eye out later this month...it's spooky season once again, and we certainly have some spooky stuff coming up soon! 🎃

Thanks as always for your continued support, we really appreciate it! If you haven't already, join us on our Discord and say hi! 👋

See you on the hunt!

Hey there, Ghosts and Hunters!

The summer season is over, and we have been hard at work on some of the things we called out in our July blog post. We’ve got a new update for you today, so let’s get into it!


One of the suggestions we have heard from a ton of players is that the Hunters seem a little bored and need something to do (other than the spray 😉) while they are heading to their next haunted destination on those van rides.

Hunters will be idle no more! Introducing: the GhostMaster handheld gaming console! You can play “Ghost Invaders” and pass the time on your next ride. You can also customize the handheld with multiple color choices (including transparent purple ✨)!




Full controller support is another highly anticipated feature. Although we’ve had experimental controller support since our Early Access launch, we’ve been working hard to perfect the experience of playing with a controller. We’re thrilled with the results and can’t wait for you to try it out! Whether you prefer using a mouse and keyboard or a controller, we’re confident that you’ll have a fantastic experience. As always, we welcome your feedback on Discord or Twitter (X) about this new feature!


Introducing Steam Trading Cards for MGH! Now, as you play MGH, you’ll have the chance to collect wicked virtual cards featuring artwork inspired by the MGH universe. Once you’ve collected a full set of cards, you can turn them into game badges and tradable Steam community items. The sooner you collect ‘em all, the sooner you can flex on your friends. 😉


After observing the quickplay data, and of course listening to your feedback, we have made more adjustments to the quickplay algorithm that should now result in finding better, faster matches! Specifically, quickplay will look for a “perfect” match, and then fallback to a “good” match faster, which should result in finding a match faster, and ending up in your own match with bots less often. Please give it a shot, and let us know what you think over on our Discord!

To celebrate our ninth Early Access update, we’re also celebrating with a discount. If you haven’t had a try at hunting and haunting quite yet, now is a perfect time to do so! MGH is 66% off right now on Steam! Gather your crew and hop on in. The sale runs until the 26th of September.


This update also includes:

• Fix Extra Gear not working with Camcorder and bumped default ammo count from 1 to 2
  
• Female skins now have female voice callouts for both Hunter and Ghosts
  
• Deflector can no longer be activated while charging a slingshot
  
• Ghost Health Orb pickup radius increased
  
• Hunters now have a unique running sound instead of a sped-up walking sound
  
• Improvements to Buckler Shield with Ghostsmasher not always blocking hits (even more improvements for this coming soon)
  
• Doppelganger will appear with the other player’s actual gadget/weapon, no longer just Spectral Cannon
  
• Code refactor of most Hunter weapons and gadgets, leading to improved performance mostly with bots and weapon projectiles, such as Frostbite and Project-X
  
• Map exploit fixes (looking at you…Carnival 🎪)
  
• Many other smaller bug fixes as well

Although that’s all the news we have for now, rest assured that our team is hard at work behind the scenes to bring you even more exciting updates! From enhancing performance and fine-tuning bots to improving matchmaking and beyond, we’ve got plenty of tricks up our sleeves. So keep your eyes peeled for future announcements!

That’s all for now, Ghosts and Hunters! We’re grateful for your unwavering support and can’t wait to see you back on the h(a)unt soon! 😊

Hey, Ghosts and Hunters!

In our last update, we released Midnight Ghost Hunt with full crossplay compatibility and we were absolutely blown away by the support. We saw over 1 million new players join us on the hunt, a million! This is a remarkable achievement that fills us with gratitude and excitement for what's next. Speaking of what's next...how about an updated roadmap? 😉

Our Q3 (July - September) roadmap lays out our plans for the near future, but here are some key highlights:

[h2]🎮 Full Controller Support 🎮 [/h2]
We are planning to improve our overall controller support over the next few months to provide an equally excellent experience for all players, regardless if you are playing on mouse & keyboard or using a controller.

[h2]🚗New Van Ride Entertainment 🚗[/h2]
One of the big suggestions we hear from players is the Hunters need more to do during the van ride, so we are cooking up something special for this...be on the lookout for more info soon.

[h2]✨HUD / UI Improvements✨[/h2]
Over the next few months we will be working on sleeker menus, better tooltips, and enhanced visual cues to hopefully provide more clarity and convenience.

[h2]🎉Steam Trading Cards🎉[/h2]
With the introduction of Steam Trading Cards, you'll have the opportunity to collect, trade, and craft cards featuring stunning artwork inspired by the game's universe.

[h2]📅July Vacations📅[/h2]
Almost all of our dev team is based in Sweden, and July typically marks the start of a few weeks off for vacations in Sweden! What this means for us is a bit of a slowdown in updates during this time, as we will be working as an even smaller team for the month. However once the vacations are over, you can expect everyone to be back at it 100%, and we have some big things planned!

[h2]💵Steam Summer Sale💵[/h2]
If you haven’t joined us on the hunt quite yet, now is a great time to hop in as MGH is 66% off as part of Steam Summer Sale! The sale runs until the 13th of July, so be sure to tell your friends!

[h2]👀AND MORE… 👀[/h2]
While that is all we have to share right now, we are certainly working on other things as well; such as performance improvements, bot improvements, matchmaking improvements, and more, so be sure to keep an eye out for future announcements.

That’s all for this time, Ghosts and Hunters! Thank you again for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you back on the h(a)unt soon!

• Fix input blocking of "page down" key
  
• Fix some of the common host migration problems we have seen so far
  
• Fix some incorrect textures and a few other small bug fixes
