We've added information regarding the exact Phasmophobia console release date. We also know more details regarding cross-play.
Phasmophobia is my guilty pleasure, giving me a heart-pounding and terrifying rush that few other games manage to do. PlayStation and Xbox fans finally have a reason to celebrate as we now have official confirmation of the Phasmophobia console release date!
When does Phasmophobia release on consoles?
Phasmophobia's console release date is October 31, 2024, during the in-game Halloween Event. The developers noted that the wait would be worth it, as the game will be more polished and have close to PC-level graphics on release for the console.
Phasmophobia is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 but will skip Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch. If you're on a last-gen console but want to experience a thrilling ghost detective game, you'll need to upgrade your system (or get a PC!). But hurry up, as the game is improving with each update. For example, the Phasmophobia Ascension update opened up new ways of enjoying getting scared.
Is Phasmophobia cross-platform (cross-play)?
Phasmophobia is cross-platform, meaning you'll be able to cross-play with everyone, even those using VR! The game will launch on consoles with all the same features already available on the PC version, with all current and future updates planned for this version. I'm looking forward to welcoming my friends from multiple platforms into this cross-play ghost-hunting game, so I can't wait for us to get scared together!
