Phasmophobia 5th Anniversary - Round Up
Welcome back, Ghost Hunters.
We want to start off by thanking you all for helping us celebrate 5 amazing years of Phasmophobia. This week marked a huge milestone for both the game and us at Kinetic Games, looking back at everything we’ve achieved since launching the game in September 2020 and seeing where we are now in 2025.
It’s been an incredible week of celebration with a ton of exciting announcements, plenty of XP as well as so many amazing #5YearsOfPhasmo stories from all of you on social media. Let’s wrap up this week with a recap of all the fun!
XP, Badges and Balloons
In-game we’ve hosted our first-ever Double XP weekend to mark the anniversary, all while having a little party in the lobby with our décor that we hope you’ve all enjoyed. Seeing some huge rewards pile in for successful investigations and your reactions has been great, and we’ll look at future opportunities to bring this back.
You have until 11:59PM BST on Sunday, 21st September to earn double rewards in all activities, so please do make sure you don’t miss your chance.
While you’re out investigating, remember to earn our anniversary Twitch Drop. This’ll be available by watching 2 hours of Phasmophobia streams until 12PM BST Monday, 22nd September.
Finally, if you haven’t yet logged in to Phasmophobia this week, do so by 11:59PM BST on Sunday, 21st September to earn our anniversary login bonus – a standard version of the ID Card/Badge that’s available as a Twitch Drop.
Ghost Hunter Essentials
Earlier this month, we launched the official Phasmophobia merchandise store in the UK and US and the response has been amazing. Thank you to everyone who’s picked up a shirt, patch or more so far!
We couldn’tcelebrate 5 years without some really special merch, however. So this week we shared news on a variety of different pieces – some of which are available right now! Here’s a rundown:
Music Box – 5th Anniversary Edition: This week, in partnership once again with The Music Box Store, we were happy to reveal the 5th Anniversary Edition which closely resembles the in-game Cursed Possession (minus the risk of a hunt). You can order yours now from The Music Box Store.
5th Anniversary Merch: We added new items to the already sprawling selection in the Phasmophobia merch store. The UK store is available here, whereas the US is available here.
Insert Coin X Phasmophobia: We’re long-time fans of the folks over at Insert Coin, so we were very excited to work with them on a new line of items that are available now to pre-order via their store.
Phasmophobia: The Board Game
We’ve been sitting on this one for a long time.
We’ve teamed up with the incredible team at Lost In Cult to bring Phasmophobia to your table top in 2026. Phasmophobia: The Board Game is a join effort between Lost in Cult and Kinetic Games and melds the core Phasmophobia experience with all the twists and turns that you’d expect from a board game adaptation.
Pre-orders for Phasmophobia: The Board Game open on 23rd October, 2025. Find out more details here.
Thank You, Ghost Hunters
Marking 5 years of Phasmophobia isn’t a simple thing, but we hope this week has felt like a true celebration of everything we – both us at Kinetic and you, Ghost Hunters – have achieved in these last years. We can’t wait to see what the next 5 bring!
To finish up, we put together a video to say thank you. While we can’t put into words exactly what these 5 years have meant to us, we hope this goes some way in doing so.
We’ve loved hearing your stories and memories of your first investigations, your favourite moments playing Phasmophobia and your personal stories of what the game has meant to you. If you’d like to continue doing so, we’d love to continue reading them. Share them on social media with #5YearsOfPhasmo!
And with that, we wrap up 5 years of Phasmophobia and begin to look forward to the next 5. We have plenty in store for you, all of which we’ll detail when the time is right. Keep your eyes on our social channels, the official Discord server and here on our blog to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.
Happy Hunting, folks.
As you continue your investigations in Phasmophobia, if you encounter bugs, issues or simply have feedback for our team, please use the dedicated channels in the official Phasmophobia Discord.
Thanks,
The Kinetic Games Team
