Kinetic Games has recently released the newest Phasmophobia update version 0.6.2.0 with its patch notes.
Phasmophobia Update Highlights
The newest update was recently released and it is quite meaty. Since the Custom Difficulty Update is still not there yet, the team has made this to keep fans and players busy. It introduces new truck models, layout and materials, some new ghost types, the voice recognition system has been completely replaced, new footstep sounds, changes in the buying section, and more.
Full Patch Notes
Check out the full patch notes for the latest Phasmophobia update below:
Ghost Types
We’ve had reports of three new entities haunting several locations, more information is available in the Journal:
• Deogen
Always watching
• Moroi
Risen from the grave to curse their victims
• Thaye
The ever-aging ghost
• These three ghosts will have an increased chance to spawn for 2 weeks
We’re introducing “The Investigation Period” along with these new ghost types!
This gives players around two weeks to try and work out the ghosts’ abilities, traits and secrets before we update these patch notes with the specifics (spoilered of course). We’re hoping this will bring back the original investigator feeling and allow players to work together, as a team, to uncover the truth!
Voice Recognition
Our Voice recognition system has been completely replaced!
We are no longer relying on Windows’ speech systems, meaning it supports many more languages and platforms, such as ‘GeForce Now’ and Steam Deck, with no setup required (and fixes that pesky tab-out bug).
• You now only need to set your microphone in-game, instead of your ‘Windows Default Microphone’
• You can now see the input volume of your microphone in the Audio Settings
• Additional microphone input options have been added:
• Voice Detector Sensitivity
• Noise Suppression
• Due to the new system only working if you are in a server, the voice recognition test has been removed.
Note: The above additional Audio options are only available while in-game, through the Journal’s Options menu
Currently supported languages:
• English
• German
• French
• Russian
• Spanish
• Japanese
• Simplified Chinese
• Traditional Chinese
• Italian
• Portuguese
• Brazilian Portuguese
• Dutch
• Swedish
• Turkish
• Ukrainian
