Phasmophobia Update Fixes Cursed Hollow Issues

Kinetic Games’ incredibly popular horror game Phasmophobia has a brand-new update today, bringing some welcome fixes to its new event, Cursed Hollow. This is the game’s first event for 2025, and was launched in the middle of April. It introduced a slew of changes based on community feedback, including different map rotations, gameplay modifiers, and in-game rewards. While it addressed some concerns, it also brought in some unwanted bugs, hindering the player experience. Some of that should be fixed with this new update.

Simply titled “Hotfix v0.12.1.1,” the new Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow update focuses on fixing issues reported by the community. Many of these issues aren’t total game breakers, but would definitely impact a player’s experience negatively, like audio bugs or inconsistencies with daily and weekly challenges from player to player. The update also made two changes. Players can no longer “place” equipment on Jackalope nest eggs, and the Obake ghost model can now shape shift during seasonal events.

Kinetic Games also confirmed one known issue so far in its patch notes for the new Phasmophobia update. Specifically, lighting issues may be present on some maps during the event.

Here are the full patch notes for the Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow update:
