Phasmophobia update adds voice recognition to consoles

Voice recognition in Phasmophobia is now available on consoles.

Announced recently on the Kinetic Games Twitter and released in an update on February 20, consoles now have access to voice recognition in Phasmophobia. This includes Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PSVR 2.

Previously only a feature on PC, voice recognition in Phasmophobia allowed for another layer of immersion into the ghost hunting game. It allowed you to speak directly as a player into the game to utilize and interact with certain tools. Features of the voice recognition are further detailed in patch notes released the same day on the Kinetic Games website and are as follows.

• Utilize the Spirit Box by speaking phrases such as ‘‘Are you friendly?’’ and “Give us a sign” to communicate with the ghost.
• Use Curse Possessions such as the Ouija Board to interact with the ghost and the Monkey Paw.
• Say the ghost’s name or other recognisable phrases near the ghost to be provided with a chance to increase the ghost’s activity for a short time.

The patch notes continue to state that the below languages are supported at launch, with more coming in a future update.

• English
• French
• Italian
• German
• Spanish
• Brazilian Portuguese
• Japanese

We hope console players take advantage of this new and immersive addition to Phasmophobia!
