Phasmophobia went into early access on PC back in 2020 and it quickly grew in popularity. Console players were supposed to grab their gear and go ghost hunting in Phasmophobia this month, but Kinetic Games has announced that the award-winning game is now delayed.
The team behind the co-op horror experience has explained the reason for the delay and provided a new release window.
The moment Phasmophobia’s console release was pushed back
A statement posted on Twitter by Kinetic Games reads:
“Dear Phasmophobia Community, First and foremost, we’d like to thank you all for your support and that you are just as excited as we are for the console release.”
“Due to a recent fire incident in our office building and unpredicted development issues, our ability to test and develop has been significantly impacted.”
“After careful consideration, we have made the tough decision to delay the console release, initially set for August, while we get everything sorted. We are now aiming for a special launch during the week leading up to Halloween this October. This gives us the needed time to perfect and fine-tune everything. Your patience and understanding mean everything to us, and we can’t wait to bring Phasmophobia to consoles.”
Phasmophobia’s console delay is a shame for those who were looking forward to picking up the game on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and even PSVR2. However, an October release is perfect for getting into the Halloween spirit.
