Kinetic Games has revealed the 2026 roadmap for Phasmophobia, a crucial year for the cooperative survival horror game. According to the studio’s plans, the title will arrive on the Switch 2 and finally leave Early Access in the coming months.
The first major updates will arrive in the first quarter of the year, with an update focused on ghost hunters. This update will introduce free customization items, new character models and fine-tuned animations also being added; including equipment swapping, injecting tier three sanity medication, and new death and revive animations.
Later in the year, version 1.0 will launch simultaneously on all platforms. This marks one of the most important moments in the game’s history, and the developers promise several surprises, including content that was originally planned for the Horror 2.0 update. The release on the Switch 2 will also be paired with an upgrade to Unity 6 and improvements to network performance, aiming to deliver smoother gameplay.
Throughout 2026, two major map revisions are also planned. Tanglewood and 13 Willow Street will be refreshed with new interactions and small structural changes. In addition, a mystery will be hidden inside 6 Tanglewood Drive, waiting to be discovered by players. The roadmap also includes a brand-new map, a unique event, and the return of popular seasonal events such as Cursed Hollow, Crimson Eye, and Winter’s Jest.
Phasmophobia is a cooperative horror game available in Early Access since 2020 on PC via Steam, and later released on PS5 with PSVR2 support and on Xbox Series X|S. According to the latest data shared by the developers, the game has surpassed 25 million copies sold.
