Phasmophobia Announces Exciting VR PS5 Feature

Kinetic Games has revealed new details regarding PS VR2 support for Phasmophobia on PlayStation 5. This beloved paranormal horror game is set to launch on the console on October 29, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the terrifying world of ghost hunting using Sony's cutting-edge virtual reality headset.

Since its early access debut on PC in 2020, Phasmophobia has emerged as a breakout sensation, uniting friends as they investigate haunted locations while battling the urge to flee at the slightest noise in the dark. Earlier this month, the developers announced that the game would be making its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S just in time for Halloween, broadening the reach of this ghost-hunting phenomenon. Although PS VR2 support had been previously confirmed, the developers have now shared additional insights into the features available in this spine-chilling mode.

A recent post on the PlayStation Blog outlines what players can anticipate when diving into Phasmophobia with PS VR2. One of the standout features is foveated rendering, which enhances performance by leveraging the headset's eye-tracking technology. This ensures that processing power is concentrated on the area where the player is looking, resulting in impressively sharp visuals. Furthermore, Phasmophobia will utilize the PS VR2’s native resolution of 2000 x 2040 pixels per eye, operating at a 60Hz refresh rate with a 120Hz projection for outstanding visual fidelity.

PS VR2 Support: New Tools and Cross-Play Capabilities

Players who explore the haunted environments of Phasmophobia using PS VR2 will have access to a handy tool belt, designed to enhance accessibility and streamline the gameplay experience in virtual reality. Gamers can carry up to three pieces of equipment at once, and switching between tools is as simple as reaching down to grab the item they need. Additionally, Kinetic Games has confirmed that players on PlayStation 5 can team up seamlessly with those using PS VR2 or PlayStation 5 Pro through cross-play when the game launches on consoles.

The much-anticipated Halloween event in Phasmophobia is set to kick off for PC players on October 28 and for console users on October 29. This marks the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the most popular co-op horror games in recent years. The Halloween festivities will feature unique challenges across some of the game’s most iconic locations, such as Point Hope and Grafton Farmhouse. For the first time, the community will have the chance to earn rewards collectively. This seasonal event will conclude on November 13, so be sure to join in on the spooky fun!
