Get ready to grab your EMF readers on the go, because Phasmophobia, the super spooky ghost-hunting game, is officially making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2!

I remember when Phasmophobia first blew up. My friends and I were hooked, screaming at our computers as we tried to figure out if we were dealing with a poltergeist or something way worse. The idea of being able to play that on a handheld console? Seriously awesome.

While details are still pretty scarce, we do know that the Switch 2 version is currently slated for a 2026 release. That might seem like a long way off, but hey, good things take time, right? I'm hoping this means the developers have plenty of time to optimize the game for the Switch 2's hardware, making sure those ghost hunts are smooth and terrifying.

I’m really curious to see how they’ll handle the controls. The original PC version relies heavily on using a mouse and keyboard to interact with the environment and equipment. Adapting that to the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons (or whatever controllers it ends up having) could be interesting. Maybe they’ll even incorporate some motion controls for a truly immersive ghost-hunting experience!

Phasmophobia's success lies in its simplicity and the sheer dread it manages to create. The sound design alone is enough to make you jump out of your skin. Being able to experience that level of immersion on a portable console? Sign me up!

So, mark your calendars (or at least make a mental note) for 2026. The ghosts are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, and they're ready to play. Just try not to scream too loud in public, okay?
