Phasmophobia has now sold 30 million copies, a milestone that lands alongside the return of its Crimson Eye Halloween event.

The second Quality of Life update for the ghost-hunting game brings Restricted maps, a batch of VR fixes, and death animations that are considerably more unsettling than before.

The road to 1.0 has been a long one. The full launch has slipped to 2027, with the studio saying it would rather get the game right than rush it out.

Kinetic Games has also owned up to a rough patch, conceding it "missed the mark" and promising "to earn back this community's trust."

"Our two franchises complement each other perfectly" — Alan Wake 2 crossed over into Phasmophobia for a three-week event.

Looking ahead, the 2026 roadmap lays out four events, three new maps, the long-awaited 1.0 release, and a rework of player characters.

By the studio's own account, 2026 should rank among "one of the biggest years in the history" of the co-op ghosthunting title.

Kinetic has also branched out into indie publishing. Even so, the team's attention stays fixed on finishing Phasmophobia 1.0.
