With Halloween around the corner, it’s the perfect time for some spooky fun with horror games. If you’ve always wanted to explore haunted houses with friends, now you can do so without leaving your couch – just launch Phasmophobia. It is one of the best horror games to play with friends, released in 2020. In October 2024, Phasmophobia will finally have crossplay as it will be released on consoles.

So, what’s Phasmophobia all about? Well, in a team of up to 4 people, you get to be ghost hunters exploring various abandoned places using cool gear like UV flashlights, thermometers, and more. The unique thing about this game is that you can talk to your friends via voice chat, and the ghosts and other paranormal activities will react to your conversations. It’s a thrilling and chilling game that’s definitely worth playing with friends. But is Phasmophobia cross-platform? Let’s find out.

Is Phasmophobia Cross-platform?

It is not, but Phasmophobia will become cross-platform. It is currently available on PC only. Other platforms like Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 with PlayStation VR2 support will be added in October and thus the game will become cross-platform.

About Phasmophobia Console Release

Since the early access in Steam in September 2020, players have been eagerly awaiting the developers to add Phasmophobia console crossplay. There is very little time left to wait – the release date for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is October 2024, just in time for Halloween. For PSVR 2 owners, this is also good news, as the game will feature VR compatibility.

Will Phasmophobia Be Crossplay?

Yes, according to the Reddit thread the console versions of Phasmophobia will support crossplay with both the PC version and each other. This means that PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC players will be able to team up together in a single session to hunt ghosts. Also, console players will be able to communicate with PC players using in-game voice functions, which is very important for exchanging hints during the game.

Will There Be Cross-progression In Phasmophobia?

Yes, Phasmophobia will have the cross-save functionality in addition to console crossplay, so you will be able to start playing on PC and then pick up right where you left off on your Xbox or PS5. The team at Kinetic Games has made sure that all your progress, achievements, and items will be saved and transferable between different platforms. 

How To Play Phasmophobia Cross-platform?

Right now, we’re not quite sure how matchmaking will work across different platforms since the Phasmophobia cross-platform feature has not been added yet. But what we do know is that crossplay in Phasmophobia is totally optional and can be turned on or off in the game settings. So, if you want to play exclusively with friends on the same platform, you can disable crossplay. Just keep in mind that with Phasmophobia crossplay turned off, it might take a bit longer to find a game.
