Phasmophobia Developers Don't Plan To Add Ghostbusters Or Other IP To The Game

As someone who spent countless hours huddled around a screen, hearts pounding in unison as we bravely (or not so bravely) investigated haunted locales in Phasmophobia during the pandemic-induced lockdowns, I must admit my disappointment at the news that a Ghostbusters crossover is unlikely. The thought of donning those proton packs and zapping some ectoplasm with my friends was a beacon of hope in those dark times.


With Phasmophobia now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the creators behind this cooperative ghost-hunting game have shared their insights about its future. One thing you won’t find is a collaboration with well-known franchises such as Ghostbusters, as the developers do not presently have intentions to incorporate licensed content into the game at this time.

According to Phasmophobia marketing manager Asim Tanvir, conversations about specific features are prevalent among the community across platforms like Discord, Reddit, and social media. The team is considering these requests because they stem from the playerbase’s interest, but it must align with their vision for the game as well. For instance, incorporating characters like the Ghostbusters wouldn’t fit the game’s tone, as it would deviate from the game’s intended aesthetic.

Tanvir suggested that certain IPs might align well and potentially something may transpire if Kinetic Games decides to shift direction, however, the team is currently prioritizing delivering fresh content for their player base. Phasmophobia gained immense popularity upon its PC debut in 2020, as people either played it or watched streams of it during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, making for an enjoyable form of entertainment. Lately, the studio shared insights with TopMob about how Phasmophobia continues to be a terror masterpiece even years later.

If you’re on the hunt for a Ghostbusters video game, you’re in luck! There are several choices out there. One is Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which was remastered for consoles some time ago. Another option is Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, an exciting multiplayer game focused on paranormal pest control. If you happen to own a PlayStation console and are a PS Plus Extra or Premium subscriber, you can find it in the game catalog at this very moment.
