Phasmophobia’s Xbox Series X/S, PSVR2 and PS5 Release Date: Late 2023
However, console-based versions have been delayed once more and this time due to the fire which occurred in Kinetic Games’ office building in part due to “unpredicted development issues”.
“First and first, we’d like to say thank you to everyone for your continued support. We hope you’re as excited about the release of our console.
A recent fire that occurred within our office building, as well as unpredicted issues with development that have affected our ability to develop and test is severely impacted.
After careful thought, we’ve decided after careful consideration to postpone the release of console which was originally planned for the month of August while we sort out everything. Now we are planning an event-specific launch within the weeks leading up to Halloween in October. This will give us enough time to refine and perfect all aspects of the game. Your understanding and patience mean everything to us and we’re excited to introduce Phasmophobia on consoles. ”
We all awaited for an update in October, Kinetic Games provided another update on Steam and informed players of their issues facing their experience with PSVR 2 version’s development. Kinetic Games mentioned that they had to revamp this Maple Lodge Campsite map with totally new layouts in order to be suitable for VR.
The delay has pushed back the console release yet another time and is now scheduled to release the end of 2023. We hope that the console can be released by the holiday season.
“In Vorbereitung for this PlayStation VR2 launch, we are constantly reviewing its performance, and enhancing it for all of the maps in order in order to provide a smooth gaming experience for all gamers on consoles. This is why we were required to overhaul Maple Lodge Campsite with a entirely new design (more details here). While it was a time-consuming task for our design team will ensure that you get the most enjoyable gaming experience.
“While we had hoped to present you with a special launch alongside the Halloween event, the complexity of our current challenges means we need more time. We will keep you updated on our progress and provide a revised release date as soon as we have more information to share. We are working diligently to minimize the impact of this delay, and we want to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support. ”
Why can’t Phasmophobia available for the PS4 as well as Xbox One?
In its initial access in September of 2020, Phasmophobia achieved a peak of 112,717 concurrent users. The game not only introduced the genre of ghost hunting, but it also established a precedent for several other games within the game industry, some that have achieved their levels of achievement.
However, Phasmophobia will not launch for Xbox One or PlayStation 4. With the addition of console ports, it can undoubtedly add more work of the in-house group of developers, and possibly due to issues with performance on older equipment, they was decided to use Xbox Series X/S as well as PS5 platforms. It will be fascinating to determine if they’re able to continue to provide regular releases while managing multiple platforms, specifically when it comes to crossplay support.
