PHASMOPHOBIA CELEBRATES ITS FIFTH FRIGHT-FILLED ANNIVERSARY
Kinetic Games will be treating ghost hunters with in-game challenges, merch drops and more!
SOUTHAMPTON, UK – 11th, September 2025 – Today, Kinetic Games are thrilled to announce a whirlwind week of spine-tingling announcements to celebrate Phasmophobia’s fifth anniversary, and invite ghost-hunters old and new in marking the milestone.
Thursday 18th September will mark the game’s official fifth anniversary, but for the full week from the 15th of September to the 21st of September, players can look forward to a bundle of ghoulish announcements - from an in-game challenge and double XP, to exciting new merch drops, amongst other surprises…
2025 has already been a jam-packed year for Phasmophobia; from reworks to the beloved Bleasdale and Grafton Farmhouse maps, to the hugely anticipated Chronicle update which arrived this summer. The scares don’t stop there however - with the launch of Nell’s Diner coming up later this year, ghost hunters will soon be treated to a run-down retro diner serving up plenty of screams.
Since its early access launch in 2020, Phasmophobia has exceeded 25 million in global sales and cultivated a passionate community of over 700K keen paranormal investigators. The title’s unique blend of immersive investigation and co-op gameplay continues to capture audiences, with 35.5m hours watched and 3.8m hours broadcasted on Twitch just within the last year. Kinetic Games also have plenty more in store, with a feature film adaptation of the hit game currently in development, by horror film powerhouse, Blumhouse.
Phasmophobia is currently available in Early Access on PC via Steam, PS5, PS VR2 and Xbox Series X|S priced at $19.99/£16.75/€19.50.
