Phasmophobia’s holiday-themed update is live now! Kinectic Games has released Phasmophobia update 1.000.005 on consoles, which appears as version 0.11.1.0 on PC. This brings the Winter’s Jest event, a slew of fixes. and even confirmation of the next patch inbound later this month.

Phasmophobia Update 1.000.005 Brings Holiday Horror This December 12

Winter’s Jest Event

Schedule: December 12 to December 31, 2024

Kinectic Games notes, “Continuing on from our Blood Moon event last month, we’ll be tasking Ghost Hunters with working together to achieve a set of shared goals in order to receive rewards. We’ve taken on feedback from the Halloween event and implemented that in to the scoring system, lowering the required scores while increasing the amount earned from completing tasks – and rewarding bonuses for those playing on higher difficulties. This’ll mean progress will feel quicker and more satisfying throughout this event.”

Players can also expect personal daily and weekly challenges for participating in the event. Completing these will reward the player with increased XP and money.

Snowfall

During Winter’s Jest a selection of maps will be blanketed in snow, adorned with festive decorations while also playing host to something incredibly sinister. Be on the lookout, Ghost Hunters.

• Bleasdale Farmhouse
• 6 Tanglewood Drive
• Maple Lodge Campsite

Community Goal

Ghost Hunters will once again be tasked with hunting down evidence, identifying ghosts and completing optional objectives during investigations. Adding a festive twist to your games this time will be discoverable jack-in-the-box items. Opening these will grant points towards the overall Community Goal and get you closer to those rewards.

Once a stage of the overall Community Goal is completed, you’ll be able to interact with the Event Altar to claim that stage’s rewards. Incorporating feedback from the Blood Moon event, we’ve made sure there’ll be more time once the Goal is completed for players to claim these prizes before the end of the event.

In addition to the event and changes, Kinectic has confirmed that Ghost Hunters will be able to track their contribution to the event with a new in-game leaderboard, which is found in the Warehouse. The patch for this will be released later in the month, but the devs confirm that progress is still being tracked.

Other notable items mentioned by the studio:

• We have introduced daily and weekly tasks for events. These will Task Ghost Hunters with earning event points and reward them with large sums of money as well as XP.

• We have lowered the overall scores required for completing the Community Goals. During Crimson Eye, we monitored progress and reacted accordingly to overall progress.

• Event points earned for completing objectives have been increased from 2 to 3

• Ghost Hunters will gain additional event points based on the difficulty they are playing: 1 point per reward multiplier

  • For example; getting the ghost correct on Nightmare would reward 10 points, plus an additional 4 points for the difficulty.

There are also known issues, which we assume will be part of the patch Kinectic aims to be released later this month.
