Phasmophobia Update v0.6.1.0 Goes Live Today

As part of the wider VR overhaul of Phasmophobia, Kinetic Games has added a new update today in order to address some bug fixes. It was recently announced that the popular paranormal VR game would be getting a complete overhaul, which the developers have admitted “will take some time to get right”, so today’s additional patch shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.

Improvements have been made to a range of game features, including hiding spots and a range of other VR-specific bugs. You can check out the full update notes from today’s patch below.
