Phasmophobia Update v0.9.2.0 Adds Steam Achievements and Overhauls Maple Lodge
Phasmophobia update v0.9.2.0 introduces the first wave of Steam Achievements alongside performance improvements and significant adjustments to Maple Lodge Campsite. Players will also notice bug fixes, visual tweaks, and adjustments to hiding spots.
Kinetic Games has released update v0.9.2.0 for Phasmophobia, bringing the first batch of Steam Achievements to the game alongside a broad set of bug fixes and performance improvements. The patch targets load times, fixes specific map exploits, and introduces new graphical settings for virtual reality players.
Performance and QoL
Loading times and overall performance receive significant improvements in this update. Max-level players no longer experience freezing on the reward screen, and players failing to connect to Steam can now pass the splash screen. Brightness now defaults to 1 for new players instead of 0. Additionally, Screen Space Ambient Occlusion is now available as an option for virtual reality players, while ambient occlusion is removed from turning on automatically in VR.
Maple Lodge Campsite Adjustments
Multiple changes alter how players navigate and hide on the Maple Lodge Campsite map. The chemical toilet now functions like house closets and lockers during hiding phases, and the totem pole now blocks the ghost's line of sight during hunts. Several safe spots have been removed by shifting camping chairs and the small green tent in Campsite B. Lit campfires no longer block the ghost's view, and both campfires share a maximum hearing range of 5 meters and identical volume levels.
Item and Visual Fixes
Medium tents feature reduced translucency to prevent glowing when a DOTS projector is placed inside. Incense III now swings properly when held, and various prop clipping issues involving the Ouija Board and music box have been resolved. The Halloween event is now removed, sky effects after death are adjusted, and fog leaks are fixed across Ridgeview, Willow, Sunny Meadows, and Woodwind.
Why this patch matters
Update v0.9.2.0 delivers technical polish and removes several long-standing map exploits on Maple Lodge while introducing the first wave of achievements.
