Over the last few months, the developers of YouTube’s favorite multiplayer horror have been working to revamp many of the game’s existing mechanics. This all culminates in the Ascension patch update, set to release 17 August. Here’s everything we know is coming in the Phasmophobia Ascension update.
With this update, everyone’s level resets to zero. This is because a new leveling system takes its place, one in which you unlock upgrades in a specific order. Levels will also require more XP with the update, so you no longer level up after 100 XP. After reaching level 100, you will be able to gain prestige and reset your progress, or keep playing up to level 999. However, you’ll also be able to customize a badge for your character’s arm showing off how far you got in the previous leveling system.

Phasmophobia will also finally be cross-platform with this update! It enters Early Access for Playstation 5, PlaystationVR2, and Xbox Series X and S. You can now have the shit scared out of you from the comfort of your couch as well.
In addition to the level badge, a brand new feature of ID cards is being added. They’ll even show what platform you’re playing on.
