Phasmophobia Becomes Increasingly Popular on Steam and Twitch

The co-op horror game Phasmophobia has a good reputation among players. The title is available in early access on Steam, but this doesn't prevent it from scoring high popularity figures (also on Twitch).

On September 18, 2020 the original horror game Phasmophobia debuted on Steam's early access. The game is designed mainly for cooperation and VR, but we can also play it without the special goggles. The title has very quickly gained a lot of fans, which is best expressed by userreviews on Steam (currently overwhelmingly positive).

Kinetic Games' work can also boast of considerable popularity, which is reflected, among other things, by the number of player opinions (there are currently 12,477 thousand of them). The average number of users playing Phasmophobia at the same time is about 20 thousand (the game's activity record is slightly over 61 thousand). Exact statistics can be seen on Steam Charts.

Quite good for a newcomer game.

The situation looks no worse on Twitch, because the game has great potential when it comes to streaming. We are exploring haunted areas with the team hoping to find any ghost traces. There is a lot of thrill in it - both fear and laughter. Phasmophobia is currently the nineteenth most popular title in terms of average number of viewers on Twitch, as well as the eighteenth most streamed game (usually transmitted by 160 channels at the same time). This is what the situation looks like in numbers and charts (via Twitch Metrics).

Are we getting another hit?

The truth is that Phasmophobia may have its peak popularity ahead of it - let's remember, it's still in early access. We can buy the title at a pretty attractive price of $13.99, and we don't need any VR glasses to play. All we need is a keyboard, a mouse and a bit of will. For now the game is available exclusively on PC.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
