Darlings, 30 million copies sold and the Crimson Eye event is back to drain your sanity faster than a bad date — Phasmophobia is still out here proving that ghost-hunting co-op horror has legs for days. Kinetic Games dropped the milestone alongside the annual blood moon mayhem, running October 8 through November 1 on rotating maps like Tanglewood Drive and 13 Willow Street, where ghosts hit harder and payouts reward the risk. CEO Daniel Knight admitted his original goal was just 1,000 units in year one; the studio is now eyeing a 1.0 release in the second half of 2027 with major ghost and gameplay overhauls.

Twitch drops, double XP windows, community goals unlocking Beholder ID cards and Blood Moon trophies, plus a charity Ghost Hunts 4 Hearts return for the American Heart Association — the live-service machine is humming louder than ever. The game sits at Very Positive on Steam with hundreds of thousands of reviews, and recent patches have been addressing the rocky Player Character Update fallout. From a solo dev project in his parents' house to this kind of sustained heat, the formula clearly slaps where it counts.

Meanwhile the studio launched Kinetic Publishing with Contact Protocol slated for spring 2027, and Phasmophobia is still headed to Nintendo Switch 2. Long live the blood moon, and the wallets it keeps fattening.
