Phasmophobia Update 0.9.3.0 Patch Notes Introduce 2023 Holiday Event

Phasmophobia‘s Update 0.9.3.0 is finally here, along with some patch notes that outline some significant changes, as well as the 2023 Holiday Event. While the Holiday Event is a pretty big addition to the game, there are not quite a few more changes and fixes that have been made to better the game. For instance, if you’re having issues connecting to the game, now you’ll see an error message to pinpoint the issue. Otherwise, we’ll see some texture changes, different upgrade costs, different response volumes, and much more. Let’s take a look at everything outlined in the update 0.9.3.0 patch notes for Phasmophobia.
