With phasmophobia, the independent studio’s kinetic games have achieved surprise success. Meanwhile, the Ghost Hunter game across all platforms has been sold over 22 million times. The developers of their roadmap for 2025 are now showing how things will continue this year.
The new roadmap for phasmophobia
At the top of the agenda is this year’s revised journal, in which references to spirits are collected. Under the “Media” tab, photos, videos and sound recordings are stored with the new “Sound Recorder”. Details provides details of this long-term planned Chronicle update.

The second “major update” concerns the Ghostbusters themselves. Character models must be taken and whose wooden animations are initially improved. Full adaptation options for the characters are only planned for 2026.
A new secret map
Developers are still very covered in information about the “all new map”. It should be quite small, similar to individual haunted houses and in one location, “which differentiates anything we’ve done so far in phasmophobia.” However, the developers do not want to reveal more about it later this year. In general, future maps should be relatively small so that there can be new locations in the game more often.

Additionally, three existing maps are due to be updated this year. Bleasdale Farm started in March. Later new versions of Grafton Farm and 6 Tanglewood Drive followed. New assets, animations and more details are promised. Nothing should change in the basic structure. A screenshot shows the new look of Bleasdale Farm.
More seasonal events
After the seasonal events have arrived well with the players, Kinetic Games wants to continue this idea. A Halloween event is planned for the first time, the Easter event is revised, and at Christmas it’s time to escape the Krampus.
Only in 2026 will the horror update 2.0
Fans who look forward to new spirits and shocking moments have to wait longer. Because the “Horror 2.0” update, which has been planned for years, is now dated for 2026. Among other things, new ghost models, ghost events, death animations and scary sounds are planned.
The fact that these updates are delayed should be mainly due to the porting of the game consoles. However, these have now been completed and the great of Phasmophobia on the PC has also been available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | s since the end of October 2024.
About the game
In the fall of 2020, Phasmophobia stormed the gameplay streaming lists on Twitch and YouTube in early access and earned the title of “Best Debut Game” at the Game Awards 2020. The first work of the then completely unknown Studio Games brought innovative and, above all, frightening game mechanics to the scene, causing entertainment through moments of fright. In true Ghostbusters fashion, up to four players in cooperative mode are sent to abandoned haunted haunts in order to get to the bottom of the eerie commotion.
This all happens without weapons or falls, as she only focuses on exposing the spirit and its type via detective evidence without being caught by it. The fact that players can communicate with Spirit through voice recognition is one of the innovations in question. There was no comparable game at the time, but now there are a few imitators.
