Thanks to developer support, Phasmophobia continues to improve after several years. A new hotfix went live a few hours ago and it brought intriguing changes and new additions to the game. A little more than a dozen bugs were squashed as well.
A unique description for crucifix EMF photos is added, and the ghost reveals itself fully at the start of the game. The performance of the main menu is improved, and the voice recognition for non-host players now works as intended. The complete patch notes are mentioned below.
