Kinetic Games has published a revised development roadmap for the multiplayer horror game Phasmophobia, following what the team described as updates in the first half of 2026 that did not meet player expectations. In a blog post, the developers apologized and said they would reassess the schedule and priorities to restore community trust and realign the game with its original vision.
For the remainder of 2026, the roadmap emphasizes game stability and comfort over new content. Two updates in July and August will deliver hundreds of bug fixes and improvements based on player feedback, including keyboard number keys for inventory slots, faster equipment switching, and instant journal opening. Console players will get a brightness adjustment option called Eye Adaptation, and VR environments will see improvements.
In October, the game engine will migrate to Unity 6, bringing a new lighting system and operational stability. A November update will overhaul player character animations, models, and UI, and add new costumes and customization options. The previously postponed Version 1.0 is now scheduled for the latter half of 2027, and will include visual upgrades for all ghosts as well as Nintendo Switch 2 support. A new collectible item called Conduit will replace Bones, tied to each ghost model and designed to expand the game's lore.
