Phasmophobia è stato creato da Kinetic Games, un piccolo studio indipendente britannico di Southampton. Nel gioco da uno a quattro giocatori sono cacciatori di fantasmi: devono entrare in un luogo infestato, raccogliere prove con i loro strumenti e capire che tipo di spirito si nasconde lì, senza farsi uccidere.

La pagina Steam fu aperta a marzo 2020 e tre mesi dopo un trailer annunciò il supporto alla realtà virtuale. Il 18 settembre 2020 il gioco uscì in accesso anticipato e diventò rapidamente popolarissimo grazie ai video e alle dirette degli streamer.

Le versioni per console erano previste per l'agosto 2023, ma un incendio negli uffici di Kinetic Games costrinse a rinviarle più volte. Sono arrivate infine il 29 ottobre 2024, mentre lo studio continua ad aggiornare il gioco con nuove meccaniche e luoghi da esplorare.
