Welcome back, Ghost Hunters. We’ve got an update for you.
Today, we’re excited to implement VOSK Voice Recognition for players on PlayStation 5, PS VR2 and Xbox Series X/S.
Voice Recognition in Phasmophobia allows Ghost Hunters to:
- Utilise the Spirit Box by speaking phrases such as ‘‘Are you friendly?’’ and "Give us a sign" to communicate with the ghost.
- Use Curse Possessions such as the Ouija Board to interact with the ghost and the Monkey Paw.
- Say the ghost’s name or other recognisable phrases near the ghost to be provided with a chance to increase the ghost’s activity for a short time.
At release, the below language are supported for Voice Recognition. We will be implementing a full range of languages in the next update for Phasmophobia:
- English
- French
- Italian
- German
- Spanish
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Japanese
Below you’ll find a run-through on how to make sure Voice Recognition is set up correctly on your console, as well as accompanying patch notes.
