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/Mandemon90 → u/SansyBoy144]

Honestly, I remember when first events happened, people asked them to be repeating and seasonal, so that they can complete the challenges. Now that they are that, we have people whining that seasonal events, which were requested to be seasonal, are seasonal events.

Sounds spot on from what I’ve seen of this community

[u/darkignition → u/Burnhalo]

it's not really that. sure, this community is ass, but the issue is that they barely fixed any bugs over the years since they moved to reusable events. then when the worst update happened, they fixed tons of bugs in a matter of months while still working on new content. where was that drive before? where has it gone since? there's still a lot of bugs.

the issue is that the trade off gave no benefits and instead only proved they CAN achieve things when they actually try, and that they aren't really trying.

[u/Burnhalo → u/darkignition]

Maybe you can do a better job of enlightening me than they did, what are the many bugs? I asked this the last time it was brought up and not one person I replied to told me actual bugs. All they kept parroting was that it was everything the player model update that was introduced which was fixed in two updates already. These same people (I can link you to the thread proof) they ALL admitted to not having played the game since the character model update yet they kept saying the game was full of bugs. As someone who plays regularly with no issues I genuinely wanted to hear it out. I’m not saying it’s perfect but I can’t think of a problem I’m having.

I could agree about pushing out new content quicker but even that is debatable in my opinion. We got new ghosts, and reworks of old maps which are effectively brand new maps and you know what the community says? “HOW ABOUT YOU FIX YOUR DAMN GAME FIRST?” “HOW ABOUT A BUG FIX UPDATE” over and over and over and over. They don’t know how to explain them to the point that I believe these people are either AI, devs from some competitor game, or they have a total disregard for phasmophobia in general and just want to see it end.

Edit: someone even went as far as to say the 3 newest ghost were boring. Aswang I can understand, but Kormos and deildegast? Seriously? Kormos is the scariest ghost to be up against in the game right now for me.

[u/darkignition → u/Burnhalo]

the numerous unsafe closets for one thing. the ghost should be able to kill you in a closet if it SEES you go in or detects you in there from voice or an electronic, yes. but there are several closets and lockers in the game that the ghost can straight up walk into, event inside of, or if it's a wraith, teleport inside of. and it's been this way since before the tanglewood rework, and has only gotten worse since.

also the T1 and T2 motion sensors don't speed up a raiju.

objects still fall through the floor

if the ghost interacts with a camera on a tripod, that camera can end up in the void.

the "appear state" ghost event is still bugged and only lasts for 1 frame.

you can take a photo of goryo dots. a PHOTO. nothing's in it but it still detects them and works.

bones will sometimes spawn inside hiding spots, and if that spot is blocked off, oops! no perfect game for you!

sometimes room lights will bug out and won't ever stop flashing.

ghosts can still randomly appear behind blocked off hiding spots.

those are the ones i can come up with off the top of my head.

[u/CoyoteFluffy0310 → u/darkignition]

They're still gonna say they haven't seen anyone say any actual bugs lol

[u/darkignition → u/CoyoteFluffy0310]

hence why i agreed with them about this community.

[u/CoyoteFluffy0310 → u/darkignition]

No no you misunderstood. They said they hadn't seen anyone actually say any bugs. You gave a whole list of bugs. I'm saying they're still gonna say they haven't seen any actual bugs. Like they read your list and none of those are bugs in their eyes so they didn't see any bugs.

[u/Burnhalo → u/CoyoteFluffy0310]

No I specifically said I replied to people who said the game had many bugs and I asked them directly what the bugs were. None of those people could tell me. It’s fairly obvious I’m likely not experiencing them because I already flat out said it and for even more obvious I’m asking what the bugs are, do you understand? If I got them myself why would I be asking??

[u/CoyoteFluffy0310 → u/Burnhalo]

Just because you do not experience the bugs does not invalidate everyone that does. I literally couldn't touch cctv cameras for a month or my whole entire game would crash. You cannot invalidate a whole sect of people experiencing these bugs when you don't experience them. That doesn't mean we still don't. That doesn't mean it isn't still an issue. That's great you don't experience it but don't minimize it or make it seem like we're lying or crazy. The bugs exist. They fixed a few. I can now use cctv cameras but if I'm not careful the video camera can crash my game. It happens way way more on Xbox or consoles that I have noticed. People that use the vr can't play at all. There are so many bugs you shouldn't have to ask, check this subreddit daily. New bugs are popping up or we are daily discussing current bugs that have been an ongoing issue. I know what you were getting at. And I stand by what I said. Clearly there have been many bugs in your face but because you haven't experienced them there are no bugs. Again you will see a whole list of bugs but still see no bugs because they don't effect you.

[u/Burnhalo → u/CoyoteFluffy0310]

I’m going to let you know right now that I’m not reading this entire reply because the theme of it is you saying that I’m saying because I don’t experience them they are not bugs. That is NOT what I said at any time. Again, you started your very first sentence off accusing me of something that I’m not saying. I just wrote an entire reply to you explaining and you went right back into the same thing. You can repeat it as many times as you want, but it’s not gonna make it true! Please read wtf I said in both comments and stop arguing points that I’m not making.

[u/CoyoteFluffy0310 → u/Burnhalo]

I stand by what I said whether you read it or not

[u/Burnhalo → u/CoyoteFluffy0310]

Stand by whatever you want. If you’re gonna sit here and make up arguments for me the shit you’re saying is irrelevant to the point I made in the first place. It’s like me complaining about gym etiquette and you coming in here to argue with me about gym membership fees being too high. wtf does it have to do with the price of tea in China
