Phasmophobia adds three Restricted maps August 25

Phasmophobia Quality of Life Part 2 arrives August 25 on all platforms with Restricted variants of Prison, Brownstone High School and Point Hope. The smaller layouts are designed for faster contracts in locations that some groups avoid at full size.

Phasmophobia: confirmed details

Prison is classed as Small, Brownstone Restricted as Medium and Point Hope Restricted as Small. Brownstone has four possible variants. Cameras and sound recorders gain duplicate-evidence indicators, while the Journal can show other players’ evidence and ghost selections.

What changes for players

Restricted layouts preserve the character of large maps while reducing search time and empty travel. Shared Journal information removes repeated voice checks, and visible duplicate markers make media decisions easier before returning to the truck.

Timing and wider context

The update also replaces the VR character rig, adds Custom Difficulty ghost selection and changes the appearance and voice cutoff of dead players. Exact release time was not confirmed in the preview, so August 25 availability should be checked through the official channels.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 11, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.

For Phasmophobia, the practical checkpoint is the live client: confirm the installed version, platform notes and regional rollout before relying on a scheduled feature. Store availability, maintenance windows and certification can create timing differences even when the developer announces one date for the wider release.
