Phasmophobia released on PC in 2020 and quickly became a viral video game hit. Players team up and take on the role of paranormal investigators as they attempt to solve psychological horror mysteries by using a variety of ghost-hunting equipment. If you’ve ever thought that co-op games can’t be scary, Phasmophobia is here to prove you wrong. On the game’s Steam page, Kinetic has laid out plans to overhaul many of its systems while promising to add even more content over time. It’s unclear if the PC and console versions will carry all of the same bells and whistles, but you can stay tuned for any updates before launch arrives this August.
