Phasmophobia Haunts Xbox Series X|S with a Halloween Event

Are you brave enough to enter the supernatural? Phasmophobia, the genre defining horror game, is now available on Xbox Series X|S. Just in time for Halloween, players can dive into the chilling Crimson Eye Halloween event, where a sinister new force, the Blood Moon, transforms familiar haunted locations into scenes of intense paranormal activity.

The Crimson Eye event is a must-play for Xbox newcomers and veteran ghost hunters alike. But be warned: this isn’t your average investigation. The Blood Moon’s arrival has empowered the very entities you’re tasked with hunting, making them more aggressive, cunning, and deadly than ever before. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for the ultimate Halloween ghost hunt.

A Terrifying New Weather Phenomenon

The Blood Moon has brought an unnerving crimson haze over several key locations, amplifying the paranormal energy in each area. This isn’t just an eerie visual effect—the Blood Moon influences everything about the experience, casting an unnatural red glow and heightening the danger level of every investigation. The once-calculated routine of Phasmophobia’s investigations is upended as each location becomes more volatile under the Blood Moon’s sinister influence.

During this event, ghosts have become more aggressive, unpredictable, and far more resistant to your standard ghost-hunting techniques. The rules have changed, making teamwork and caution essential as you take on these formidable spirits. New Xbox players may want to team up with seasoned ghost hunters to learn the tricks of the trade, and veterans will appreciate the heightened challenge.

The Crimson Eye’s Essential Objectives

To make it through this event, it isn’t enough just to survive. Crimson Eye introduces Blood Altars to each haunted location, eerie shrines where paranormal energy seems to gather. Finding and photographing these altars is one of the key challenges during the event, rewarding players with Blood Points—a vital resource that lets the community unlock special Halloween-themed rewards.

Players are tasked with investigating cursed sites, completing optional objectives, and photographing these mysterious Blood Altars as part of the community-wide hunt. As you gather Blood Points, you’ll help the entire Phasmophobia community reach collective milestones and earn rewards. It’s an unprecedented level of player interaction that makes the Crimson Eye event unique, and it’s a perfect way for Xbox players to make their mark on the game’s paranormal community.

Work Together—or Be Haunted Alone

The Crimson Eye event emphasizes collaboration more than ever. The increased power of the ghosts under the Blood Moon means that lone-wolf tactics are unlikely to succeed. The ghosts are now sharper, faster, and more relentless. Experienced ghost hunters will want to plan each step of their investigations with their team, covering one another as they enter haunted sites and carry out their objectives.

For new players, Crimson Eye provides a crash course in Phasmophobia’s gameplay mechanics, teaching the importance of cooperation in high-stakes situations. You’ll need every tool and every ounce of your wits to survive and succeed. And don’t forget to have your camera ready; capturing a Blood Altar on film might just be the difference between success and failure.

Community Rewards and New Halloween Items

Every Blood Point earned during Crimson Eye contributes to a community-wide tally, unlocking special event rewards as goals are met. The thrill of unlocking these new rewards alongside fellow investigators adds a unique sense of camaraderie to the Phasmophobia experience.

Make sure to check your progress, coordinate with other players, and keep an eye on Blood Points to see how close the community is to unlocking each new reward tier.
