At the start of the year, Phasmophobia developers revealed a roadmap for 2026 that included details on various content and features coming to the game. Among the details Kinetic Games announced, we have already received a collaboration with Alan Wake, and the first major update is now set to arrive.
Phasmophobia’s First Major Update in 2026 Will Concentrate on Player Character Changes
A new press release by Kinetic Games reveals the new features coming with Phasmophobia’s Player Character Update next week. The overhaul will reimagine the ghost hunter and feature new animations and movements, along with in-depth character customization.
