The highly requested Phasmophobia shop update is almost here

by editor@pcgamesn.com

The rise of Lethal Company late in 2023 somewhat took over the co-op horror game conversation, but one of its most defining games, Phasmophobia, has a big year planned, and one of its most-requested upgrades is set to arrive "sometime next week." Boasting an 'overwhelmingly positive' 96% Steam rating from more than half a million reviews, Phasmo still stands tall even among the ever-growing crowd of scary multiplayer games such as Labyrinthine, The Outlast Trials, Escape the Backrooms, Demonologist, and Devour.

Forget Lethal Company, another 10/10 co-op horror is getting an update

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Phasmophobia was probably the first co-op horror game experience I ever really put a good few hours into, and anyone who has played it will understand why. Kinetic Games' spooktacular paranormal adventure is unique to say the least, allowing players to group up and tackle a variety of supernatural beings. Following its massive Ascension update a few months back though, many fans have awaited news of any changes or fixes. Now, we finally have our first look at the developer's plans.

Adjusting the Ascension!

by cjdxn

Welcome back, we've got some news for you! Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing Since the Ascension Update, we've had plenty of feedback on how the game currently feels for players. We wanted to share our thoughts on how we're planning to adjust the game to make sure progression and other areas are the best they can be for all types of players. We'd love to hear your feedback on these proposed changes and get the ball rolling! We'll be looking to make the following changes, with additions, straight after the upcoming Shop rework! Progression Leveling rates are currently too slow We originally made the levelling rate slightly slower so that we could increase the pace if need be, so we'll be doing exactly that; less required XP per level across the board Equipment Tier unlocks are too linear and too slow Alongside the progression rate changes above, we're going to change Tier unlocks so that multiple are unlocked at once instea...

Welcome back ghost hunters, we've got some news for you. We’ve received your lighting feedback and we have now implemented several new systems to improve on these areas. With the below changes and new settings, this will alleviate many issues. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/52fa8ca354692dcf52433e00e453a08e7810c5dd.png New graphics settings have been added to the Journal (Currently not available for VR and requires a graphics card): Eye Adaption: Simulates your eyes adjusting to light or dark areas over time Screen Space Global Illumination (SSGI): Simulates bounced lighting; making lighting and shadows look less dark. This may affect performance so there are three quality settings. Static lighting has been overhauled in all locations Ambient light has been increased Light from outside sources (moon, street lights) will now shine through windows Larger rooms or rooms with darker materials such as farm houses may look darker, however this is intended {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/3b4d73cfc7cd...

As Lethal Company reigns, an old co-op horror king prepares a big 2024

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Before Lethal Company took over Steam, and before the likes of Labyrinthine, Escape the Backrooms, The Outlast Trials, Demonologist, GTFO, and Devour, Phasmophobia helped to define a new wave of co-op horror games on PC. Tense, frantic, and making impeccable use of positional audio to enhance the terror, the ghost-hunting game boasts a 96% Steam rating across over half a million user reviews. Now, developer Kinetic Games gives us another look at the next map coming, along with everything else lined up ahead of the game's full 1.0 launch. Read the rest of the story...

2024 Roadmap and beyond | Development Preview #16

by cjdxn

Welcome back, we've got some news for you! Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/2b358f952d6045bfd653b5097f620b7b1d14564d.png Stepping into 2024 means new beginnings and a new roadmap for the game! You may notice some changes on the new roadmap, one of which is we've removed any predicted dates for upcoming releases. Secondly, there's a new section at the bottom of the roadmap. These new features, maps and smaller updates will be pushed live as soon as they are ready, without the need to wait for a major update. Lastly, you can see that Horror 2.0 will be the last major milestone for the game and the one that takes us out of Early Access. This doesn't mean development for the game will cease, as we'd still like to add more equipment, ghosts and locations after 1.0 finally arrives! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/83646a91d74f86e66721a008b0a254767253e390.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37002678/0db57d24c6248deb206...
