After a month of waiting, Kinetic Games has finally released the “Chronicle” update for Phasmophobia across PC and consoles. The update brings a host of exciting gameplay changes and quality of life improvements, including all new sound equipment and significant changes to the way ghost hunters can capture evidence.

As mentioned previously, Chronicle overhauls how Media is gathered and rewarded in Phasmophobia. For the first time, players will have access to the Sound Recorder, a brand new piece of equipment designed to record unique paranormal sounds, alongside two new types of media – video and sound recordings.

The all new journal will see the Photos tab replaced with a Media tab featuring three new sections – Photos, Videos and Sound Recordings – with any photographic, audio or visual evidence logged in the corresponding pages.

Players can use the aforementioned Sound Recorder to capture a range of sounds from ghost events, spirit box responses, and more. Using the updated journal, they can listen back to their recordings, letting them discover helpful clues.

Those with quick reflexes and a keen eye will be able to capture creepy happenings using the video recorder. The CCTV system found within the truck has also been completely overhauled, with players now able to view five different live camera feeds at once.

If that wasn’t enough, the Chronicle update will also offer a range of unique challenges throughout the year, from update launch challenges and equipment focused challenges with improvements to optional objectives.

In addition to the update, Kinetic Games has also unveiled a new look at the Grafton Farmhouse rework. Set in an isolated farmland, Grafton’s revamp will introduce an eerie new attic, as well as re-themed rooms and redesigned layouts throughout. The revamped location will be released later this year.

Phasmophobia is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and PS VR2, and the Xbox Series.
