With between 10 and 15 million players according to SteamDB data, Phasmophobia is already a lucrative success for the English of Kinetic Games. It must be said that the formula, as simple as it is on paper, had everything to seduce lovers of video game thrills: four amateur ghost hunters find themselves in haunted places to try to capture malevolent spirits. To do this, they have all the paraphernalia of the little paranormal tracker: spirit box, crucifix, motion detector and other EMF reader. Can be played by four players simultaneously online, Phasmophobia is the guarantee of long moments with the trouillometer at zero, and of such a quantity of cold sweats that you will have to change shirts three times per hour of play.

After having pinned the PCs on their hunting board, only the consoles were missing. It will soon be done, since Kinetic took advantage of the Xbox Games Showcase Extended to announce the arrival of their title in early access on home consoles. Early access to Phasmophobia on Xbox Series, PS5 and PSVR 2 is expected to be open from August 2023. Kinetic’s official press release states that Phasmo will arrive with its Progression 2.0 version, which fixes many bugs of the PC version. All versions should offer the ability to play in crossplay.
It will be necessary to watch the official site of Kinetic Games in order to have the precise modalities of registration for this early access.
