Phasmophobia 8.1 Patch Notes
The challenge mode adds a fresh challenge each week and offers a rotating difficulty set. You must complete a challenge requirement three times on a map to succeed. If you fail, that’s it, no chance at that challenge until it appears one more time later in the year. 26 challenges will be spread across the year.
A Monkey’s Paw has been added to cursed possessions, and yes it grants twisted wishes to the player.
Beyond that are a slate of fixes and an announcement that the upcoming 9.0 update will feature an overhaul to progression, causing a reset for all players. Thankfully, existing players will be able to keep all difficulties and locations already earned.
