Kinetic Games has delayed the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of cooperative psychological horror game Phasmophobia from its previously planned October release window to an unannounced date.
“As we still try to adapt to our new remote working life after the fire incident and to establish a new office, we’ve encountered unforeseen challenges in adapting the game for consoles,” Kinetic Games said in an update. “These combined factors have affected our development timeline more than we initially anticipated.”
It continued, “Additionally, in preparation for the PlayStation VR2 launch, we have been diligently reviewing the game’s performance and optimizing it across all maps to ensure a seamless experience for all of our console players. In this regard, we had to rework Maple Lodge Campsite with a completely new layout (more information below). This decision, though time-consuming for our art team, is essential to provide the best possible gameplay experience.”
Phasmophobia first launched in Early Access for PC via Steam on September 18, 2020.
