Phasmophobia Update v0.9.0.0 patch notes introduces Progression 2.0

Jul 12, 2023

An all-new leveling, progression, and prestige system has been added to Phasmophobia Update v0.9.0.0, otherwise known as the Ascension update.

Phasmophobia is still chugging along through early access, but that doesn’t stop it from getting huge new updates, such as the recent Update v0.9.0.0 (or Ascension). This update brought a huge host of new changes to the game that includes a whole new Progression 2.0 system. On one hand, this means levels are starting over, but on the other hand, there will be a revamped path of progression, prestige, and rewards to earn and explore. We’ve got the full notes for what changed in Phasmophobia Update v0.9.0.0 here.

Developer Kinetic Games rolled out Phasmophobia Update v0.9.0.0 and its accompanying patch notes on August 17, 2023. This marks one of the largest updates to come to the game since it’s been in early access, but isn’t quite pushing the game to Version 1.0 just yet. The new Progression 2.0 system is easily one of the headliners of the update, but there were a ton of other changes to VR systems, equipment, evidence, and much more. You can see all of the changes from the patch just below:

A new levelling system has been added, with new rates of progression, new unlocks, and a prestige system. For this system to function, all current players have been reset to Prestige 1, level 1, this way you can continue to play with your unlocked difficulties and locations. New players will start at Prestige 0, level 1.

Upon launching the game for the first time after updating, you will be presented with a new screen to choose a unique badge with options based on your pre-update level. Once saved, this is un-editable so choose carefully!

Each equipment item now has 3 tiers, increasing our Equipment count from 22 to 60! Tiers cost a large sum of money to unlock, but each tier will cost the same to bring into a contract. To upgrade a piece of equipment, reach the required level, go to the shop and press on any item’s UI tile on the screen, then hit upgrade!

Several names have been replaced to accommodate changes or for the new upgrade tiers, so that the word covers a broader spectrum:

We felt that DOTS wasn’t a very interactive evidence type, so we’ve completely refactored it from the ground up. Instead of being a clone of the ghost that gets spawned in and revealed with DOTS, the following will happen:

Several rewards have had their values adjusted to feel more rewarding and encourage the completion of objectives

The Training mission has been replaced with a brand-new experience, to access it press the training button on the main menu. This version of Training is set in a custom-built warehouse, with different rooms to show the player how to use each item of Evidence equipment, as well as give tips and tricks on how to play the game in a controlled environment.

You can now block other players. Blocking another player will keep them permanently muted until you unblock them. To block or unblock a player, press the block button on either their player card or on the recent players page. You can also unblock players by going to the ‘Blocked Players’ tab in the ‘Pause Menu’.

That covers all of the changes for Phasmophobia Update v0.9.0.0. The update is out now on available platforms. For more Phasmophobia coverage, stay tuned as further updates drop for the game.

It's valuable information for everyone. I am expecting more details like this. https://igtoolsnet.in/

Spam fucker

So much to like about this game, but is the end goal still just to identify what *kind* of ghost it is ? Then just leave ?Always felt like a half baked ending that wasn't very satisfying
