Phasmophobia passes 30 million sales with the return of Crimson Eye until 1 November 2026
Kinetic Games says Phasmophobia has sold over 30 million copies and brings back Halloween event Crimson Eye with new rewards, a Twitch drop and more.
- The annual Halloween event Crimson Eye is back and runs until 1 November 2026, with blood moon weather, rotating maps and rewards for community and personal goals.
- The event also includes a Twitch drop, a double XP and rewards period, and the return of Ghost Hunts 4 Hearts for charity.
What happened
Kinetic Games says Phasmophobia has now sold more than 30 million copies on PC and console since its Early Access release in 2020. The announcement arrived alongside the return of Crimson Eye, the game’s annual Halloween event.
Crimson Eye runs until 1 November 2026 and adds blood moon weather to a daily map rotation. Based on the available information, that makes ghosts faster and drains players’ sanity more quickly, while increasing rewards. The event rotation includes Tanglewood Drive, Camp Woodwind, Grafton Farmhouse, Bleasdale Farmhouse, Point Hope in standard mode, Edgefield Road, Nell’s Diner, and Willow Street.
Rewards are split between community and personal goals. Community goals unlock the Beholder ID Card and Badge and the Blood Moon Trophy, while personal goals award the Blood Moon Charm, a seasonal T-shirt, and upgrades for the Crimson Eye Trophy. Players can also earn a Crimson Eye T-shirt cosmetic by watching two hours of Phasmophobia streams on Twitch between 8 and 15 October 2026.
Kinetic Games is also planning a double XP and rewards period from 15 to 22 October 2026. In the final week of the event, from 26 October to 1 November 2026, Ghost Hunts 4 Hearts returns in support of the American Heart Association.
