Phasmophobia Updates & Sequel — Version History, 1.0 and What's Next
Phasmophobia's update history and future: the 1.0 full release, major updates (0.11, Apocalypse), patch notes, the 'Phasmophobia 2' question, and the feature film.
Phasmophobia Updates & Sequel — Version History, 1.0 and What's Next
The short version: Phasmophobia left Early Access with its 1.0 full release (2025), capping years of major updates (the 0.11 overhaul, the Apocalypse update, the console launch). Kinetic Games continues shipping patches and content. There is no "Phasmophobia 2" — the 1.0 release is the game's full form; "Phasmophobia 2.0/2" searches are about the 1.0-era content, not a sequel.
This guide covers the update history and what's next.
Version History (The Big Updates)
| Era | What shipped |
|---|---|
| EA launch (Sept 2020) | The game's viral start |
| 0.5-0.8 era (2021-2022) | New ghosts, maps, the cursed possessions |
| 0.9/0.10 (2022-2023) | Major reworks (evidence, difficulty, the "nightmare" mode) |
| 0.11 (2023-2024) | The big overhaul — new progression, equipment rework, new maps |
| Console launch (Oct 2023) | PS4/PS5/Xbox versions + crossplay |
| 1.0 (2025) | Full release — the game left Early Access |
Phasmophobia is out of Early Access (1.0 released 2025) and still actively updated. Patch notes are on the Steam News page and the official site.
The 1.0 Release (Out of Early Access)
- 1.0 = the full release — Kinetic shipped the 1.0 version after years of EA (the "1.0 launch" framing in 2025 announcements).
- What 1.0 meant: The complete game — full content, the console parity, and the "finished" content line (with post-1.0 updates continuing).
- The board game + film era: 2025 was also when the board game pre-orders opened and the feature film was announced — the franchise moved beyond the game itself.
What's Next (Updates, Not a Sequel)
- No Phasmophobia 2. "Phasmophobia 2" / "2.0" searches reflect the 1.0-era content (or the "next update" hype) — there's no sequel in development.
- Post-1.0 updates: Kinetic continues patching and adding content (new ghosts/maps come with major updates). The next update cadence is announced via the official site/Steam News.
There's no announced sequel. The game is a live-service-style single title being updated — any "Phasmophobia 2" release date is fabricated.
