Phasmophobia Update Makes 70 Changes to the Game

Developer Kinetic Games has released a new and pretty large Phasmophobia update that does come with any new content or major new features, but the patch notes below confirm that 70 changes and fixes have been made to the game right before Christmas, including to some of the new Cursed Possessions content that was recently added. Meanwhile, there are also several changes that will impact VR players. 

At the moment of publishing, it's unclear what type of file size accompanies the update. The patch notes suggest the update could be on the larger side, but the changes and fixes themselves suggest otherwise. That said, if any more information is provided about the update's file size, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.
