Phasmophobia Bleasdale Rework Update Released, Here Are the Patch Notes

Phasmophobia just overhauls one of its most popular areas. 

A substantial new update for Phasmophobia has today released across all platforms. Despite launching all the way back in 2020, Phasmophobia remains in early access which means that developer Kinetic Games is still pushing toward its eventual 1.0 version. To that end, a sizable new update for the multiplayer horror game has today dropped and makes big changes to the Bleasdale Farmhouse map.

Downloadable right now, update version 0.12.0.1 for Phasmophobia primarily looks to retool the Bleasdale Farmhouse locale. Kinetic Games says that this map has now added new lights, interactable objects for ghosts, and something else “small and frightening” that now scurries throughout the house. Other than this big change, some additional tweaks have been made to Phasmophobia, specifically when it comes to bug fixes.

To get a look at everything that has been done with this new Phasmophobia update today, you can find the full patch notes attached below.
