Phasmophobia Gets New Patch Notes After Massive Chronicle Update

by

The popular multiplayer ghost-hunting horror game, “Phasmophobia,” has been upgraded to version 0.13.1.0 after the significant content update titled “Chronicle” was released last month. This latest update includes comprehensive revisions and overhauls of the game’s underlying systems, as part of the massive changes introduced in the “Chronicle” release.

The Chronicle update was warmly appreciated by gamers, and it seems the excitement for the game is sky-high. Phasmophobia has recently hit a massive milestone with 25 million copies sold, placing it among the most successful horror games of the past ten years. These latest updates include numerous modifications, enhancements, and new elements to the game, all designed to boost player satisfaction. Here you’ll find details on the recent content changes.

New

  • Added new recordable video evidence:
    • The ghost turning Crucifix in Sunny Meadows. 
    • The burning Crucifix in the chapel of Sunny Meadows. 
    • Obake shapeshifting. 
  • An audio and visual cue will now signify the completion of recording video evidence.
    • A flashing light will appear on the Tier 1 Video Camera, while an audio signifier will accompany this on Tiers 2 and 3. 
  • Map names are now displayed when browsing available rooms in multiplayer.

Changes

  • The Journal keybind can no longer be mixed with another keybind. 
  • Adjusted rewards so harder-to-record media feels more valuable.
    • Examples: Freezing Temperatures and Ghost Writing now reward $10 instead of $5, Sounds of a hunting ghost reward $20 instead of $15, while a dead body now rewards $5 instead of $10. 
  • Adjusted the range for recording sounds during ghost hunts and events.
    • On top of this, the scream heard at the end of an event can now be recorded, giving a larger window to capture sounds from the event. 
  • Volume adjustments for several interactions:
    • The audio from the teddy bear has been reduced.  
    • Light extinguish interaction audio has been reduced. 
    • Door rattle/slam/squeak interaction audio has been reduced. 
  • The Tier 3 Photo Camera’s screen is now larger, aligning it with the aspect ratio for polaroids found in the Journal. 
  • The CCTV unit in the warehouse van is now the updated design. 
  • The number of available media deletions is now linked to the difficulty type or custom game difficulty multiplier implemented:
    • Amateur / x0 – x1.99 – 5 deletions 
    • Intermediate / x2 – x2.99 – 4 deletions 
    • Professional / x3 and above – 3 deletions 
  • Photos with $0 value can now be deleted without the need to vote.  
  • In a match with 3 or 4 players, only a majority vote – not unanimous – is required to delete a piece of media.  
  • Several pieces of video evidence have been changed from being unique to now counting as an interaction:
    • Phones 
    • Sinks 
    • Showers 
    • Camping stove  
    • Bear trap 
  • Removed rocking chair sound evidence due to it not being a ghost sound.

Apart from these modifications, numerous corrections were made to the Phasmophobia game as well. In a recent blog update, the Kinetic Games team acknowledged an existing problem concerning the difficulty of capturing “Obake shapeshift video evidence,” which they plan to resolve in upcoming updates.

In addressing fan feedback about X, the developers additionally explained that they’ve resolved troubles related to “wobbly hands” and other difficulties encountered by VR gamers in the past.

I’d like to know your opinion regarding the recent update that includes the patch and the Chronicle. Overall, do you think the team has effectively tackled various problems, or have there been any issues during your gaming experience that they may have overlooked?
