Phasmophobia’s “biggest update” ever is coming this week

Is there anything scarier than your level being reset back to 0?

Are you ready for the big Phasmophobia update? If so, you’ll be pleased to hear that it’s going to start rolling out this Thursday, so prepare yourselves for a number of changes in the hit co-op ghost-hunting game.

After what felt like an eternity of Kinetic Games promising that a significant patch was coming, the team finally confirmed it on Discord recently. There’s also been a public post on Twitter confirming that, yes, the “Ascension” update is inbound and will be going live on August 17 from 10AM UTC onwards.

If you want to get in those last few levels before Phasmophobia goes through these changes, now’s the time.

Everything changes

Over a series of dev posts on Steam, we’ve learned that a lot of things are going to be different in Phasmo. For one, there’s some new equipment, which is now going to be tiered. Everyone is also having their levels reset to 0, but it’s been said that you will be given a badge that indicates where you were before the update. The patch was supposed to be rolling out a little earlier, but the people at Kinetic said they had to delay it a little bit.

Phasmophobia is also coming to consoles, with a projected release date of…well…sometime this month. Who knows, maybe we’ll get the PS5 and Xbox Series versions on the same day as the big update.

In any case, there’s a lot to look forward to. So horror fans, mark your calendars for tomorrow, the Progression 2.0 changes are coming!
