How to fix Phasmophobia not working
Phasmophobia is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach kineticgames.co.uk over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Restart Phasmophobia and Steam
Close the game and your platform client, then open both again to clear a stuck login or lobby. Test a solo session first.
Switch Phasmophobia Region
In the Multiplayer menu, change the Region setting to a server near you, then try to join or host again. A distant server can cause timeouts and disconnects.
Verify Phasmophobia Game Files
Open Steam, right-click Phasmophobia in your Library, select Properties, go to Installed Files, and click Verify integrity of game files. Steam will replace missing or corrupt files, which can fix crashes and failed launches.
Reinstall Phasmophobia
If nothing else works, uninstall Phasmophobia through Steam's Library, then install it again. This takes time and a stable connection, but it clears local files that verify may miss.
While Phasmophobia is down: what to use instead
- Demonologist If your group wants the same loop of gathering evidence and naming what haunts the place, Demonologist plays the closest, with co-op hunts through cursed locations.
- Lethal Company Good for keeping the squad's voice chat going, because it has proximity voice and co-op scares, though you scavenge scrap for a quota instead of identifying ghosts.
- Devour Pick it for a short session: you and up to three friends try to stop a possessed cult leader.
- Content Warning For a sillier night, your team films monsters and tries to get the footage to go viral, so the scares turn into clips you can laugh at afterwards.

What happens when Phasmophobia goes down
Phasmophobia is a co-op ghost hunting game for PC and consoles, and its online lobbies, invites and voice chat carry the whole experience for groups who play together. An outage cuts into the part people came for: getting a squad into a contract and talking through it while the hunt runs.
The first thing to break is usually the lobby: a friend's game never shows up, or a join attempt stalls on a connecting screen and then fails. Voice chat goes next. Groups can hear each other fine in the lobby and lose audio once the contract starts, which kills callouts right when they matter. Losing a saved round stings more than a dropped match. Trouble clusters by platform or region, and since players host their own sessions, plenty of lobbies keep running while others fail.

How we track Phasmophobia
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Phasmophobia, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Phasmophobia, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Phasmophobia doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
