Now, Kinetic Games has revealed that its title has achieved another milestone, with 3 million sales of the game for PlayStation 5, PS VR2, and Xbox Series X/S systems. Players have since been congratulating the developer on the achievement. This follows Phasmophobia reaching a million sales on console in just over a month. The game is not only performing well based on its own merits, but the spooky season is likely to bring an increase in sales for the developer annually, so this number is likely to continue rising for quite some time.
Phasmophobia Performed Well on Console Despite Missing Feature
Phasmophobia has been spooking console players for many months as of this writing, but those fans weren't getting the full experience until 2025. Phasmophobia lacked voice recognition when it launched for console, and it wouldn't arrive in a patch until February 2025. Voice recognition is used in the game in a variety of ways, from communicating with the ghost to increasing the risk of being hunted, depending on what one is saying. While it's possible to still communicate without using one's voice, the added effect of having a ghost respond after a player asks a question is something that's certainly helped to spook PC players, and now that console fans have access to it, interest in the title may rise even more.
At the moment, the future for the ghost hunting game looks bright. Phasmophobia is holding its first event of the year, which shakes up the formula of hunting ghosts and gives players additional objectives to complete for trophies and ID cards. Additionally, the developers have promised more updates arriving for the game in 2025, adding things like player character customization, new maps, and an overhaul to how players record ghosts, called Chronicle In the following years, the game will also be getting its long-awaited Horror 2.0 overhaul, which is set to dramatically change the game's hauntings, ghost interactions, hallucinations, and more.
