Phasmophobia kicks off its Winter's Jest event with the return of Krampus and double rewards for the first week. The v0.15.1.0 update also sorts ghost types alphabetically, locks certain ghosts to specific genders, and fixes various bugs.
Phasmophobia brings back its annual Winter's Jest event alongside patch v0.15.1.0. The update adds Krampus, double payouts during the first week, journal sorting adjustments, and numerous bug fixes across maps.
Event Details and Rewards
The Winter's Jest event is active on all event maps with the return of the Krampus ghost model. Investigations yield double XP and money from December 16 to December 23 at 12 PM GMT. Dead players no longer earn ghost identification event points.
Gameplay and Quality of Life
Ghost types in the Journal appear in alphabetical order for English language users. Banshee and Krampus are now restricted to female and male identities respectively for names and models. Nell’s Diner unlocks at Level 5, and RAM usage drops across all maps.
Bug Fixes and Map Corrections
The update resolves issues tied to Nell’s Diner, including VR teleportation blocks in the break room, active arcade machines and ATMs when power is off, and missing Obake fingerprints. It also addresses Ouija board number responses, Steam Deck voice chat at contract start, and crashes linked to active CCTV screens.
Why this patch matters
Patch v0.15.1.0 pairs the launch of the Winter's Jest event with stability fixes for Nell's Diner and helpful quality-of-life sorting options.
