The Phasmophobia 2026 roadmap is lookin' pretty busy as the game plans for its big 1.0 launch sometime this year. Its usual festive staples are there, so you'll have the Easter, Halloween, and winter holiday events to celebrate with the paranormal, but there's also a new limited-time event on the schedule, and we still don't have the who, what, when, or where on that one.
Between the four events, there's a handful of updates planned outside of Phasmophobia 1.0's launch, like the Player Customization Overhaul, new map, and more haunted house reworks. To keep up with the year's haunting event schedule, we're always watching and waiting—hoping for a sign from the Blood Moon cult—and plan to record any release date evidence or speculation below.
May 1, 2026: Kinetic is certainly keeping us busy this year, and just announced its release date for the long-awaited Player Character Update. I've updated the schedule below with those details, plus new Twitch Drop dates.
Phasmophobia seasonal events and updates
When is the next Phasmophobia event?
The next Phasmophobia event is the Alan Wake 2 crossover, which starts on May 12 and runs through June 2. It's an unusual departure from Kinetic's standard seasonal line-up, and the first time Phas is partnering up with another game.
If you're the type that really enjoys hunting for in-game collectables, you may want to make time for this one ASAP. We recently spoke to some of the team at Kinetic Games, and learned there are no plans to rerun the Alan Wake 2 event, or at least none for now.
When is Phasmophobia's next Twitch drop?
You can tune into Phasmophobia Twitch streams starting on May 5 through May 11 for the High Priestess T-shirt. It's one of several new in-game customization options launching with the Player Character Update, and a welcomed shake up from our usual ID card drops.
When is the next Phasmophobia update?
Phasmophobia's next update is the Player Character Update on May 5. This new version of Phas is one the team at Kinetic has been teasing for a while, and ushers in a more personalized era of ghost-hunting with customizable player models and unique cosmetics.
Phasmophobia's official Trello is also a pretty handy reference if you're curious about what's in progress.

Phasmophobia follows a fairly regular schedule of events, but specific yearly dates don't always line up the same. We'll keep the usual holiday events, plus any extra festivities like Phasmophobia Twitch Drops or updates, outlined below.
