Kinetic Games’ multiplayer horror title Phasmophobia has been something of a revelation ever since its PC early access release back in 2020, and earlier this year, the developer confirmed that it would be opening the gates for an even larger community with a console launch. That launch, however, has been delayed by a couple of months.
Originally set to launch for consoles in early access sometime this month, Kinetic Games has now pushed back the console versions’ release window to October, with the game now targeting a release sometime during the week leading up to Halloween. The developer says the delay was caused by a recent fire incident in its office building, which has impacted its ability to test and develop the port.
In a Twitter post announcing the delay, Kinetic Games wrote, “Due to a recent fire incident in our office building and unpredicted development issues, our ability to test and develop has been significantly impacted.
“After careful consideration we have made the tough decision to delay the console release, initially set for August, while we get everything sorted. We are now aiming for a special launch during the week leading up to Halloween this October. This gives us the needed time to perfect and finetune everything.”
Upon release, Phasmophobia will be available in early access for PS5, PS VR2, and Xbox Series X/S.

Microsoft has revealed the full list of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass Core when it launches this week.
XDefiant, Ubisoft's upcoming multiplayer shooter that some have hailed as the return of a more old-school, more 2010s-style, perhaps more try-hard Call of Duty-esque experience, has been delayed for an indeterminate amount of time. Why? Because it somehow offended the console gods: failing to pass the certification process for at least one of either PlayStation or Xbox, which means we all have to wait to get our hands on it until Ubisoft can rectify the problems that cropped up and try to get XDefiant certified again.

Nightdive Studios’ remake of System Shock finally launched for PC earlier this year, but of course, console players are still waiting to get their hands on the game. The developer has previously said that the game will arrive for PlayStation and Xbox platforms “in due course”, with no specific launch window having been mentioned, though it seems a more concrete update might be around the corner.
Alone In the Dark has been delayed and will no longer be releasing on October 25th, THQ Nordic has confirmed. Instead a new release date of January 16th, 2024 has been given, with the game releasing on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The main reason given is because of the already busy release schedule of October, where other heavy hitters are due to release.
