Phasmophobia v0.17.1.0 - Patch Notes

by Tom Dent

Welcome back, Ghost Hunters. We want to start today by apologising for our Player Character Update that launched last week. It’s clear we missed the mark on this, and didn’t deliver on our promises to you. Your feedback and your reviews were justified. Our team has grown significantly over the last year, and with that comes a higher standard that, in this case, we failed to meet. Tomorrow, May 12th, our next update for Phasmophobia will bring with it many fixes, iterations and changes to the game that bring things in-line with our vision for this update. While we know improvements can still be made, we believe this will provide a much better experience for everyone playing Phasmophobia. Over the past week, we’ve read feedback from across the entire community. The frustration and disappointment has been clear. Below is a look at the patch notes, with changes and fixes built on that feedback, that will go live with tomorrow’s update. NewAdded a 5 second delay after you die to allow you t...
