Phasmophobia gets another console release date, with voice recognition features expected to come

After a few delays, Phasmophobia will finally be coming to consoles this year. It’s certainly been a long time coming, and fortunately, the wait won’t be too long with its expected release date set for the game’s Halloween Event.

If we go by the release of Phasmophobia’s past Halloween releases, console versions may debut around Oct. 26, 2024. This includes features like cross-play and VR compatibility. As Kinetic Games continues developing, voice recognition will also be coming soon. However, console players must input text temporarily until the studio finds a solution.

Although it will be available on Xbox, Phasmophobia will not be on Game Pass. Even more so, there are “no plans” to make it available on this service. It will be purchasable for $19.99, a six-dollar increase from the PC version. The price difference correlates with the new content that has been added over the years, hence why we’re seeing a slight bump in cost.

Phasmophobia’s console debut will match the current 0.10 version, also known as the Eventide major update. The farmhouse reworks for Bleasdale and Grafton won’t be a part of this just yet, but it will be introduced soon.

With Phasmophobia Version 1.0 on the horizon, veteran players can look forward to new ghost models, hallucinations, and horrifically entertaining events. And, if you are planning to try it on a console, Kinetic Games has indicated that the game’s graphics will be “as close to PC as possible.”

As the console version is set to debut around the Halloween Event, newcomers can rest assured that they won’t be left behind. These celebrations have always been inclusive, allowing all types of players to participate and earn special rewards. Personally, I’m overjoyed to see Phasmophobia finally making its way to consoles. The prospect of experiencing it on a larger screen is both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure.
