Welcome back, we’ve got an update for you.

𝒦𝓇𝒶𝓂𝓅𝓊𝓈 𝒽𝒶𝓈 𝒶𝓇𝓇𝒾𝓋𝑒𝒹.

Today we’re excited to release Winter’s Jest, Phasmophobia’s 2024 winter event.

During the event, we’re tasking Ghost Hunters with teaming up together to complete a set of 3 different Community Goals - all in the name of rewards. You can catch up on details of Winter’s Jest with our latest blogpost, or head in-game and check out the Event Board.

Following on from our Halloween event, we’ve implemented a host of changes using feedback from those that took part - thank you everyone who did! We wanted to take a quick opportunity to run through a few changes and improvements that you can look for in Winter’s Jest.

  • In an upcoming patch, Ghost Hunters will be able to track their contribution to the event with a new in-game leaderboard, found in the Warehouse. Note: This patch will be available later in December, but progress will still be tracked.

  • We have introduced daily and weekly tasks for events. These will Task Ghost Hunters with earning event points and reward them with large sums of money as well as XP.

  • We have lowered the overall scores required for completing the Community Goals. During Crimson Eye, we monitored progress and reacted accordingly to overall progress.

  • Event points earned for this event’s “totem” have been increased from 1 to 2

  • Event points earned for completing objectives have been increased from 2 to 3

  • Ghost Hunters will gain additional event points based on the difficulty they are playing: 1 point per reward multiplier

    • For example; getting the ghost correct on Nightmare would reward 10 points, plus an additional 4 points for the difficulty.

Winter’s Jest will go live for all platforms at 12PM UTC, 12th Decemeber 2024.

Alongside Winter’s Jest, we have also deployed a small update to the main game. Below are the patch notes.
