Kinetic Games' hit multiplayer co-op horror experience, Phasmophobia, is officially set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
The announcement, made during The Game Awards 2025, confirmed that the highly-acclaimed psychological horror title will make its way to Nintendo's next-generation hardware with all content updates from 2025 included at launch. Phasmophobia has become a genre-defining staple in the psychological horror and cooperative multiplayer landscape since its early access debut for PC in 2020.
Developed and published by indie studio Kinetic Games, the title allows teams of up to four players to take on the roles of paranormal investigators.
Together, players explore a variety of haunted locations, braving intense supernatural phenomena and gathering evidence of ghostly activity using an arsenal of specialized ghost-hunting equipment. Kinetic Games has steadily expanded Phasmophobia with regular content updates, introducing new maps, ghost types, equipment, and gameplay enhancements that keep its dedicated community engaged.
In a recent statement at The Game Awards, a spokesperson for the studio assured fans that the Nintendo Switch 2 version will launch with every feature, map, and content addition that arrives through the end of 2025, offering Switch 2 players a comprehensive and up-to-date experience from day one. This release marks the first time Phasmophobia will appear on a Nintendo platform, highlighting the growing appeal of the psychological horror genre and Kinetic Games' commitment to broadening its audience.
The Nintendo Switch 2, expected to deliver significant hardware improvements, is positioned as an ideal platform for the game's immersive co-op interplay and atmospheric visuals.
While specific details about eShop availability and additional Switch 2 features are yet to be announced, the move underscores Nintendo's ongoing efforts to expand its library with popular third-party titles. Phasmophobia's arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026 aligns with broader industry trends of celebrated indie successes bridging the gap between PC and console ecosystems.
As the official release date approaches, Kinetic Games and Nintendo are expected to share more information on platform features, multiplayer integration, and support for future updates.
Until then, players can look forward to an authentic, content-rich ghost-hunting experience tailored for the next generation of Nintendo fans.
