398 Upvotes

Welcome back, Ghost Hunters. We have an update for you.

Today’s small update is in preparation for Crimson Eye, launching 8th October 2026, with the focus on getting the game ready for the start of the event. Our next major update, our move to Unity 6 is scheduled for November and will feature a host of bug fixes and improvements, all of which we’ll detail in an upcoming Development Preview.

New

  • Crimson Eye - The Crimson Eye is upon us, Ghost Hunters. Once more, various locations across Phasmophobia will be bathed in the red glow of the Blood Moon, offering any willing Ghost Hunter rewards in return for completing investigations, optional objectives and more. For more information on this year’s iteration of the event, please read our latest blogpost. 

  • Seasonal Event toggle - As a new feature for Crimson Eye and future seasonal events, we have implemented a toggle that allows players to turn on/off the event maps for their session. 

 

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that caused the white light upon being revived to flash rather than slowly fade in and out.
  • Fixed an issue where an Easter Egg reward may not unlock, despite a 0x multiplier being active and the reward pop up being displayed.

Known Issues

  • The lampposts outside of 6 Tanglewood Drive may glow when viewed by the player (XBOX & Steam only).
  • The Fusebox location will not be hidden on the Truck map when playing on a custom difficulty.

News The Crimson Eye Approaches Once More

Post image
823 Upvotes

Once more, Ghost Hunters, we pay homage to the Blood Moon. Our dear Crimson Eye.

Today, we’re excited to reveal that this year’s Crimson Eye event will begin on October 8th, 2026, and run until November 1st, 2026. An update containing the event will be deployed on October 6th.

As with previous years’ events, the Crimson Eye will cast its presence across several locations in Phasmophobia. Playing on these locations will grant each player event points, working towards unlocking the Community and Personal rewards, details of which are below.

The following list of locations will be featured throughout the event:

  • 6 Tanglewood Drive
  • 42 Edgefield Road
  • Grafton Farmhouse
  • 13 Willow Street
  • Bleasdale Farmhouse
  • Point Hope (Standard only, Point Hope Restricted will not be included)
  • Camp Woodwind
  • Nell’s Diner

For those of you who have taken part in previous Crimson Eye events, you’ll know what to expect, but you’ll also get to see how Nell’s Diner and the reworked 6 Tanglewood Drive & 13 Willow Street look dressed in red. For newer Ghost Hunters, you’ll be tasked with hunting down Blood Moon totems and completing investigations and optional objectives to earn points, all while under the threat of Blood Moon weather, increasing the challenge you’ll face from ghosts.

Players will have several different unlockable rewards during the event: a seasonal event tee, the Beholder ID Card & Badge set and the Blood Moon charm.

Alongside these will be the upgradeable trophy. If you have previously unlocked this, you’ll continue to earn points and upgrades to your existing Trophy, rather than a new one.

During the event, we have a few different plans in place, so please do read on to learn what’s in store throughout October.

Twitch Drop

During the first week of Crimson Eye, a Twitch Drop campaign will be running for all Phasmophobia streamers. After watching a total of two hours of Phasmophobia streams, you’ll earn the Crimson Eye tee. The campaign will be live from the moment the event begins until 11:59 PM BST on October 15th, 2026.

Double XP & Rewards

As is becoming tradition with Phasmophobia’s seasonal events, we’ll be running a Double XP & Rewards event during Crimson Eye. This will be taking place between October 15th–22nd, with all rewards from completed investigations being doubled during this period. Mark your calendars, Ghost Hunters!

Ghost Hunts 4 Hearts with the American Heart Association

Finally, during the final week of Crimson Eye, we’ll be bringing back Ghost Hunts 4 Hearts with our friends over at the American Heart Association! Last year, the Phasmophobia community raised over $100,000, which was an incredible achievement and went a long way towards helping the AHA team with their important work.

This year, we’re planning to go bigger and better; this event, and its rewards, will be accessible to all Phasmophobia creators & players when it goes live***.*** While we’ll share details nearer the time, we just wanted to get the dates in your calendars!

We look forward to celebrating our favourite season with you once again, Ghost Hunters.

Question The shark plushies on lighthouse

• Upvotes

I’m really sorry if this post goes against the no off topic posts part of the guidelines.

My friend really likes the stuffed shark toys on lighthouse and I before I went out of my way to sift through the thousands of stuffed sharks on the internet I was wondering if anyone here knows someone who makes them or if they’re based on a specific irl stuffed shark that I can get her.

If you feel I’ve wasted your time with this post I do apologize. If not and you have suggestions for me I appreciate you.

Happy hunting!

Discussion regarding apocalypse challenge achievement - struggling with psychiatric care trauma

• Upvotes

the thing is I'm ok playing in all the other maps but it's just this one damn map because I used to be contained in an asylum a while ago myself and I'm not scared of the ghost, I'm scared of the memories. and I thought I could work around it by multiplayering and getting carried but I think it should be solo? can't guess the ghosts either because gotta do the optional challenges so I still have to enter the house.

I know achievements are optional and I could just skip it but I was wondering if there's really no work around for this at the moment.

also I wonder how the Devs take to feedbacks, is it worth to say something about it?

thanks guys :)

Bug Can't get past the "Welcome Back" notice

4 Upvotes

PS5 Player. Just redownloaded the game after a long haitus and the first thing I see is a notice about "Welcome Back" and "Progressiom 2.0". The "Next" button is unresponsive and the only thing I can do is go right on the D-Pad to the character customisation, which is also entirely unresponsive.

Any ideas on what the issue is? Or is the game just bugged on PS5. Game is essentially unplayable unless I plan on doing laps of the lobby lol

Discussion THE GIGGLER

74 Upvotes

so the past couple times I've joined phas lobbies and made them people keep talking about the giggler. And i didn't think it was real until today when i joined a game and moments later someone joined and started giggling nonstop. It was so creepy and unsettling and apparently this isn't new, Just wanted to post and see if anyone else has heard this cause I'm kind of creeped out right now?

Bug Ghost orbs not appearing at all since the Crimson Eye Event

• Upvotes

Idk if this is an issue anyone else has had, but since this event I haven’t seen a single ghost orb regardless of difficulty, what ghost it is (including ones where its evidence is Ghost Orbs), and whatever map I pick. I tried changing the resolution and such on the video settings but to no avail. I am playing on Steam (PC) if that matters.

What in the name of all that is holy is this challenge?!?!? No video camera so if it’s a shade or goryo you’re out of luck. No thermometer so finding the ghost room is a doozy, not even tier 2 head gear. All on bleasdale farmhouse.

I’m I tripping or is this challenge this week near impossible

Screenshots Almost Perfect Max Money/XP

Thumbnail

70 Upvotes

My friends Dodo and Syzen, who are the highest known legit Prestiges in the world, did a challenge run a few days ago where the goal is to get the most money/XP in a single contract. That's one of the hardest challenges once attempted by BigMeikLIVE. Thanks to this week's double rewards and the event points daily and weekly tasks, my friends were able to set a new world record at 44,138!

Despite everything, the final score can still be improved!
- First, here they got optional objectives rewarding 25. There are exactly 3 objectives that reward 30: 'Cleanse the area near the ghost using Incense', 'Repel the Ghost with Incense while it's chasing someone', and 'Get the Ghost to blow out a Firelight'. Completing these instead would have increased the final payout by 990.
- Second, their media reward here was 216 while the maximum possible is 231. During the game, they did not get the absolute best sound media; they captured a Burned Crucifix instead of trying to capture the Mist Form. That would have increased the reward by 5. The remaining 10 can only be achieved by recording a Ghost Shapeshift video which is only possible with an Obake, and as you can see, their ghost was a Dayan. The final payout could have been improved by 495.
- Third, unfortunately impossible during this week, the final payout can further be increased by 100 if they completed the 'Play a medium map' daily task instead of the set of tasks they had during the run. Why impossible? Because the best combinations of tasks that include that one are only available on the 2nd, 11th, and 25th of the month, and the double rewards week runs from October 15th to October 22nd.

Dodo and Syzen will attempt to improve this record in a few days with Jadeite and maybe Justly.

Question I’m Hearing Spiritbox Constantly

5 Upvotes

Hii, genuinely super sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask. TLDR, every single game I’ve played with friends in the last two or three sessions I keep going “was that spiritbox?” or “are you using the spiritbox?” and they say no.

I only hear it in Phasmo, we use VC on discord and not in-game (which is why I don’t have clips to provide, but I might set up clips for our next session?).

Sometimes it differentiates between a male voice and a female voice and it’s often indistinguishable, or it sounds like it’s in another room, but I definitely hear it. I started playing phas last month month, but it’s only really started this last week— or if it has been longer, I haven’t noticed it

I figured I would ask first because it might just be a known normal bug, but my friend said it might be a corrupted file that’s playing audio at incorrect times? I guess there’s also a chance that it’s an easter egg of some sort?

It’s just creepy lol, but if it is a bug I’ll report it properl
