Is Phasmophobia free to play?

It’s been four years since Phasmophobia came to Steam as an early-access title. In that time, the game has made a name for itself as one of the most unique horror experiences on the platform. So, how much does the game cost? More importantly, is it free-to-play?

Is Phasmophobia free to play?

No, Phasmophobia is not free to play. Because the game is still in early access on Steam, developer Kinetic Games needs all the money it can get to get it ready for the 1.0 version when it’s ready. Thankfully, the game doesn’t have any additional microtransactions or DLCs, so you get everything the game has to offer for one humble price.

Moreover, Phasmophobia isn’t built from the ground up to be a free-to-play title. Even though it would be great if everyone got access to this horror game without an upfront cost, there simply isn’t anything to monetize in the game right now. Unlike games like Dead by Daylight, which charges players for Killers and Survivors, it would be strange if Phasmophobia started selling different ghosts, equipment, or extra levels while it’s still in development. Things can certainly change in the future, and we think it’s more likely the game will get one-time-purchase DLCs at full launch rather than going free to play.

How much does Phasmophobia cost?

Phasmophobia is $13.99 on Steam, and it’s been that way since the game initially launched. Despite getting fairly regular content drops since its release, the developer hasn’t yet increased the price. It’s safe to assume Phasmophobia will increase in price once it’s out of early access.
