One of the many spooky surprises at The Game Awards this year was the announcement Phasmophobia, the highly popular co-op psychological horror title, would be making its way to the Switch 2 in 2026.
The team at Kinetic Games says it will include all of the content added throughout 2025. A release date or price hasn't been confirmed just yet, but when we find out more, we'll let you know. For now, here's some PR, and you can see "work in progress" gameplay footage in the trailer below:
First launched into Early Access in 2020, Phasmophobia is a co-op horror game in which players are challenged to investigate hauntings in a variety of eerie locations. On Nintendo Switch 2, groups of up to four ghost hunters are able to join together online to begin their paranormal explorations through the game’s 14 maps - including the newest addition for this year, Nell’s Diner.
The Nintendo Switch 2 launch will follow Phasmophobia’s successful PlayStation and Xbox console launch in summer last year, which has now seen the five-year-old game reach over 25 million global sales. The game is currently in Early Access, with plans to launch into 1.0 in 2026.
“We’re over the moon to reveal that Phasmophobia is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. It’s something both our community and all of us at Kinetic Games have wanted for a long time, so we’re really happy this long-kept secret is finally out there, ” said Kinetic Games CEO and Game Director, Daniel Knight. “With 1.0 on track for 2026, it’s an exciting time to have new players get to experience the game. We're so glad that Switch 2 players will be able to join us for everything that’s coming, as well as jump into the wealth of content we’ve added throughout 2025.”
