“We are so happy to see Phasmophobia enter console early access,” said Daniel Knight, CEO and Lead Developer at Kinetic Games. “The community has been asking for console versions, and has waited a little while for it to happen. The development team at Kinetic Games have worked exceptionally hard to make this request a reality.”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Phasmophobia is a 4-player, online co-op, psychological horror game.
