Horror Game Phasmophobia Is Getting a VR Overhaul This Week

gamerant.com:

Phasmophobia, an online multiplayer investigative horror title developed by Kinetic Games, launched in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and a surge of popularity for games that let people play with their friends during lockdown. In good company with other indie titles like Innersloth’s social deduction game Among Us and Dead By Daylight, Kinetic Games’ creation became a fan favorite and earned predominantly positive reviews from players.

Although still technically in early access, Phasmophobia is currently in a pretty polished state, and the developer releases patches and small updates on a nearly monthly basis. Kinetic Games plans to be more transparent in Phasmophobia patch notes in the future, after a poll revealed that players want every detail about what’s been changed in the game. And a 2022 roadmap shows that a lot is planned for Phasmophobia in the coming year, including upgradeable equipment, new challenges, the ability to customize characters, and a revamped VR system.

Phasmophobia Teases Update to Player Journal

Phasmophobia launched with VR capabilities, which adds to player immersion while investigating the game’s haunted farmhouses, prison, asylum, and other spooky locales. But Kinetic will be releasing an update to Phasmophobia's VR on April 7 at 4 AM PST. The overhaul will include general optimization of the game's VR mode, a new interaction system, a Unity engine update, as well as adjusted functionality and improved visuals for the sound sensor in Phasmophobia.

A Twitter post in March shared a glimpse of the upcoming VR overhaul, although it’s likely that only gamers who have played a lot with Phasmophobia’s VR mode will spot the changes shown in the brief preview. And if the official VR tweaks aren’t
