Phasmophobia Passes 30 Million Sales as Crimson Eye Returns

Phasmophobia has sold more than 30 million copies across PC and console, a figure its developer has now confirmed. The co-op ghost-hunting game first arrived in Early Access in 2020, and the sales total marks a long run for a title that started as a small, cult-style project and grew into one of the more widely played horror games of its era.

The milestone comes as the Crimson Eye Halloween event returns. The seasonal update gives players a reason to pick the game back up around the holidays, when horror titles typically see a spike in attention. Players team up to investigate haunted locations, using equipment to identify a ghost's type and avoid being caught, and seasonal events are one of the ways the game keeps its community engaged between larger releases.

For a game that relies on a steady stream of players working together, a 30 million sales total is a strong signal of sustained interest long after its debut. Further details on the event's contents were not included in the announcement, so players should check the official channels for specifics on what the returning event includes.
