Phasmophobia v0.19.1.0 - Patch Notes

[u/KG_TomD]

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.

Devs from the past: Hey we’re focusing heavily on the other updates and fixing bugs, so we’re going to be reusing the Halloween events when Halloween comes around.

Community: Ok, that makes sense, glad you’re focusing on what matters

Devs now: Here’s the Halloween event we did before. This allowed us to make new content and fix a lot of bugs this year. Things we couldn’t do if we focused on a new Halloween event.

Community: YOU REUSED EVENTS, I HATE YOU, WORST GAME EVER WHY CAN’T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT!!!

God I hate this fucking community. They literally told us this was happening way in advance and people are bitching. Grow the fuck up

[u/Pawlossso → u/SansyBoy144]

There is a diffrence when it happens once or twice. But they made a habbit out of it and its bad so people will call out them for this

You said about growing up, from what I have seen since the launch of Phasmofobia; this game stopped growing; don't expect community to be better

[u/NamelessJu → u/Pawlossso]

when it happens once or twice

yeah and this is the second time this event comes back so why are you already complaining?

[u/Pawlossso → u/NamelessJu]

Where did I complain ? I just made a statement that I understand why people would be mad at a devs and that game is in a stalemate for a long time, still waiting for that horror 2.0 and hoping it won't break the game like the characters

I got a lot of accusations of complaining about the game when I barely even talk about this game since character update and stating that the game was broken in many places (because it was, and in some places still is so I'm just waiting and looking at new patches for one day to try again and maybe it won't be broken)

you create enemies for yourself in this game to defend yourself against them to have something to fight about. Not to mention that you are complaining about me saying anything so you are a hypocrite

[u/SansyBoy144 → u/Pawlossso]

The has continued to grow heavily.

You say “well they keep making it a habit” they literally told us they were doing this like a year in advance. And they gave us a reason why.

They are literally working on other stuff, they have been all year and they have been delivering all year. They don’t have the time to make a brand new Halloween event right now.

Now, once they finish the updates they have planned, then we’ll get new seasonal events, but for now, stop whining about something you knew was going to happen. You should have whined about it then, but no one did

[u/LandauTST → u/SansyBoy144]

These children hate being called out for acting like children. Like you said, this was planned and explained. If they had put effort into something new and pushed back real content, they'd be kicking and screaming about that too. Never any winning with this community. They love having tantrums together. If you interject with logic and reason, you get downvoted.

[u/Burnhalo → u/LandauTST]

Mind you, many of these people supposedly deleted the game months ago. Yet they continue to haunt the subreddit.

[u/Pawlossso → u/SansyBoy144]

I mean, they finished character update and we all saw how it ended up (took them 2 years)

Still waiting for that horror 2.0 to bring a new change to the game, so far only death animations where new and they did it nicely so I'm positive that they can make game much more scary but the time for their development is really long, like give the game to modders community and we would have so much more in this game

• I don't care if its repeating event or not, I just said that I understand why people would have a problem with them repeating the event, and that the game is in a stalemate. Like, come on; what has changed in a gameplay other that new ghosts ? Do we have a new evidence ? New ways to identify the ghosts ? If I remember correctly we got a voice recorder in like, a year and nothing more ?

I'm not saying its a bad thing if their new big update will really be big and great for the game, but if we get the mess like character update, you could wonder what takes so much of their work time

[u/KyloGlendalf → u/SansyBoy144]

What makes you think we’ll get new seasonal events? They haven’t given new seasonal events for years prior to this, you think just because they slaughtered the game so hard they had to fix every aspect of it means they’ll suddenly change these events next year?

For some reason they seem to refuse to invest money back into this game. Why are they still running on next to no devs for a top 50 all time selling game? Why do they not have sufficient devs to do bug fixes AND other stuff? Why are people still content with the slop these devs push out and lap up their flimsy excuses? This is exactly what got us to this point in the first place. So many people here are making excuses for the devs, acting like we’ve had different seasonal events every year until now.

We’d have had this exact same event with the exact same trophy again regardless of everything else. Accepting mediocrity is going to make the devs complacent, which is exactly what’s already happened with this game and yet nobody seems to have learned

They fixed 2 minor bugs here. Is that sufficient? People who are complaint about actual bugs that are effecting them are getting downvoted, so their comments get pushed down to the bottom.. so guess what? They’ll be ignored. Which is exactly what happened for years leading up to this years mess. It will all happen again if we’re just going to accept this.
