PS5 Won’t Run The Horror Title On 120 FPS!

Story Highlight
  • Phasmophobia won’t have a 120 FPS mode on PS5.
  • Only the Xbox Series X port of the horror game will run at 4k/120FPS.
  • The game launches on PS5, Xbox Series, and PS VR 2 on October 29, 2024.

In what has been a pretty uneventful year for horror fanatics, Twitch darling Phasmophobia is finally launching on consoles in a few days to usher in the spooky season.

Peaking around Halloween 2020, the innovative ghost-hunting title with universal critical acclaim was announced for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles on October 17 by developer Kinetic Games.

The dev also revealed Phasmophobia’s specs on both these platforms, with the game’s tech side looking pretty competent. However, there is one major difference between the two ports; only the Xbox Series X version of the horror title has 120 fps.

Why It Matters: This generation’s PS5 and Xbox Series are constantly trying to one-up each other when it comes to localisations, with the former mostly getting the upper hand as the lead console. Hence, it’s interesting to see Xbox finally get one over its competitor.

Phasmophobia specifications for consoles

According to the announcement by Kinetic Games on X, the performance and balance mode on both consoles will target 4k and 60 FPS. However, the Xbox Series X will be compatible with 120 FPS. On the other hand, the Series S will run Phasmophobia on 1080p and 60 FPS.

Therefore, Xbox Series X has better optimisation for the title than PS5, something that hasn’t happened since Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Phasmophobia is also coming out on PS VR 2, which will feature 120Hz reprojection and a 60Hz refresh rate.

Whatever the specs are, it’s nice to see a well received and innovative horror title launching around Halloween in what has been a dry year for horror after a great 2023. Phasmophobia will be released for the aforementioned platforms on October 29, 2024.
