Phasmophobia's player count has more than doubled after its massive Apocalypse update.
On September 27, Phasmophobia's developers took to Steam to publish a new blog post outlining the hefty update. The Apocalypse update is arguably headlined by the new custom difficulty option for players, as well as brand new areas to explore in the horror game.
Elsewhere in the new Apocalypse update, Phasmophobia's ghosts have been overhauled. A vast number of ghosts in the game have actually had their throwing abilities tweaked to be more impactful, so now you'll really notice when ghosts like the Oni, Demon, and Jinn lob objects around the nearby vicinity.
Finally for major changes, there's also a new reporting system, whereby players can report others through the in-game journal. Phasmophobia players that get reported will then have their cases reviewed and will receive a suspension of either two, seven, or thirty days, and in some cases, the ban might even be permanent.
Here's why multiplayer horror games are having a moment, all thanks to the tireless work of indie developers.
