From PC Hit to Console Phenomenon
First released on PC in 2020, Phasmophobia rapidly became one of Steam’s best-selling horror games, boasting over 22 million copies sold on the platform in just four years. Console players joined the ghost-hunting action much later, with the long-awaited console release finally arriving in late 2024. Despite the shorter timeline, the game has made an equally powerful impact among console gamers.
Phasmophobia had already reached 1 million console sales just over a month after its launch, and now hitting 3 million solidifies its standing as a must-play title in the horror gaming scene.
Why Phasmophobia Continues to Thrive
The game’s unique focus on cooperative paranormal investigation, atmospheric tension, and regular content updates have helped maintain player interest. In addition, the game’s release near Halloween likely fueled a surge in new players eager for some spooky seasonal thrills.
Phasmophobia’s success proves that well-crafted indie games can find massive audiences across multiple platforms, and it’s a testament to the passionate development team behind the scenes at Kinetic Games.
The Future Looks Bright (and Terrifying)
With continued support, new maps, ghost types, and expanded VR capabilities in the works, Phasmophobia is far from finished scaring players across the globe. As the player base grows, so too does the potential for even more chilling experiences in the years ahead.
If you haven’t yet experienced the thrill of ghost hunting with your friends, now is the perfect time to grab your EMF reader and jump into one of the most successful horror games of the decade.
Crossing the 3 million sales mark on consoles is a stunning achievement for Phasmophobia and Kinetic Games. With its unique gameplay, growing community, and future updates on the horizon, Phasmophobia shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
