Phasmophobia, the acclaimed cooperative psychological horror game from Kinetic Games, is officially heading to Nintendo Switch 2 with a release planned for 2026.
This announcement marks a major expansion for the indie hit, which has already garnered a substantial following on PC thanks to its intense atmosphere, innovative gameplay, and continuous content updates. Developed by UK-based Kinetic Games, Phasmophobia offers players a chilling ghost-hunting experience in which teams of up to four investigators collaborate online to uncover evidence of paranormal activity.
The gameplay is centered around communication, teamwork, and the strategic use of ghost-hunting tools as players explore a range of haunted locations.
On Nintendo Switch 2, players will be able to jump into all 14 intricate maps, including the highly anticipated new setting, Nell’s Diner, launching with the platform port. Game director and Kinetic Games CEO Daniel Knight expressed enthusiasm about the launch, stating, "Announcing Phasmophobia for Nintendo Switch 2 is a significant moment for both our community and our development team.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting this news, and we are thrilled that the release is official.
With version 1.0 set for 2026, this is the perfect opportunity for new players to dive into the ever-growing content, and we’re excited for Switch 2 players to join in all the paranormal investigations we've crafted." Since its early access debut in September 2020 via Steam, Phasmophobia has become a standout in the horror genre, praised for its immersive co-op gameplay, frequent updates, and community-driven enhancements.
The title has consistently ranked among the top multiplayer horror games, earning positive reviews and amassing a dedicated player base. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will support fully online multiplayer, allowing groups of ghost hunters to team up via Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
With enhanced Switch 2 capabilities, players can expect smooth, atmospheric gameplay and feature parity with other platforms, including every previously released map and content update from prior years up to 2025.
Phasmophobia’s arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 continues Nintendo’s trend of welcoming popular indie titles to its ecosystem, broadening the console’s diverse library of cooperative and horror experiences.
