How to use the Sound Recorder in Phasmophobia

by Andrea Shearon

Phasmophobia's Chronicle update added even more spooky sounds and voices for ghosts to make, but what good is that with no audible evidence to sell at the end of a contract? Fortunately, the patch also reworked how the Journal records and reports media, leading to the introduction of a new Phasmophobia tool, the Sound Recorder... Read more.

I'm not built for whatever I heard in Phasmophobia's Chronicle update, which adds terrifying new sounds you can't afford to run from

by Andrea Shearon

The big Phasmophobia Chronicle update launches tomorrow, June 24, and brings a long list of bug fixes and tool reworks with it. As part of the tool shake-up, developer Kinetic Games also overhauled the journal's media section for capturing evidence. It's great if you're tired of being limited to a photo camera. But, if you're a coward like me who usually takes pictures of salt and runs, I've got bad news... Read more.

Phasmophobia devs 'don't want to walk into the live service area' with seasonal events, but still have plans to keep the community engaged

by Andrea Shearon

Some brave souls play Phasmophobia all on their lonesome, but that could never be me. I'm more in it for the shared, community-driven haunts, so when I noticed the new Twitch Drop section of the ghost hunting game's UI during a Summer Game Fest demo, I asked the team if they had plans to expand on other community activities, like seasonal events...

Going Hands-On With Phasmophobia’s Chronicle Update

by Jordan Biordi

When I last left off with Phasmophobia, I was at a bit of an impasse. Despite how much I loved the game, there was no denying that after some major updates and a wildly successful console launch, the game was still in a somewhat rough state, most notably with some pretty glaring visual hiccups. I was really hoping that we’d see more substantial progress with the game, and every time I hopped into it, despite having fun with a whole new crowd of Ghost Hunters, I was always thinking, “Come on, you guys are so close, just get to the finish line!” Well, that line may finally be on the horizon with Phasmophobia’s Chronicle update. The newest patch brings not only a slew of fixes but also a major overhaul to several of the game’s core features, along with significant improvements to the atmosphere and paranormal events, pushing the spook factor to hitherto unknown levels. It’s been a long time since Phasmophobia made me “nope” out to the main menu, but the Chronicle update managed to do... R...

'It didn't exist and I wanted to play it': Phasmophobia's lead dev got tired of trawling around Steam for a co-op horror puzzle game so decided to just make it himself

by Elie Gould

When Larian Studios' CEO Swen Vincke took the stage at The Game Awards to present Game of the Year he also relayed a bit of advice to other studios: Make a game that you want to play yourself, and your game will do well. Something that Daniel Knight, CEO of Kinetic Games and lead developer, did years ago with Phasmophobia... Read more.

'I don't actually play horror games': Phasmophobia's lead developer had no intention of making a horror game but still kicked off a whole new genre

by Elie Gould

I'll never forget the first time my friends and I played Phasmophobia. It was like nothing I'd ever played before, absolutely hilarious, and surprisingly terrifying—it still is. So it's rather funny to me that not only does Phasmo's creator not really play horror games but he didn't intend to make one either... Read more.

Spooky friend-time ghost-em-up Phasmophobia is the next videogame to get the movie treatment

by Jody Macgregor

Back in 2020, Phasmophobia took the formula of reality shows like Ghost Adventures, where frat boys explore a haunted location saying "woah" at every sound, and turned it into early access gold. It was our co-op game of the year, won best debut at The Game Awards, and has gone on to sell 23 million copies. Now it's being made into a movie... Read more.
