Phasmophobia update enables voice recognition on Xbox and PS5
At the end of October, after PC fans had been enjoying the game for several years, Phasmophobia finally came to console. Now, you could get your ghost-hunting fright on via Xbox Series X|S or PS5, but there was one vital piece of the puzzle missing: voice recognition. Part of the game's immersive appeal is being able to elicit a ghost response by talking to it over a microphone directly or through the Spirit Box item. This was not the case if you were playing on console. Fortunately, developer Kinetic Games has finally added voice recognition to the PlayStation and Xbox ports of Phasmophobia. https://bsky.app/profile/phasnews.bsky.social/post/3limeuzv5n22d As noted in the most recent patch notes, v.0.11.1.2 implements the much-needed VOSK system on console. It also adds it to the PS VR2 version of the game. Now, you'll be able to do the following: Utilize the Spirit Box by speaking phrases such as "Are you friendly?" and "Give us a sign" to communicate with the ghost. Use Curse Possessions such as the Ouija Board to interact with the ghost and the Monkey Paw. Say the ghost’s name or other recognizable phrases near the ghost to be provided with a chance to increase the ghost’s activity for a short time. More on the way The update says a multitude of languages are now supported on PS5 and Xbox Series (with more on the way), including: English French Italian German Spanish Brazilian Portuguese Japanese While we're at it, Kinetic also recently revealed the update roadmap for Phasmophobia. Long-time fans have been looking forward to new content and the developer's ongoing commitment to the game. There are a bunch of exciting things coming our way, such as a complete rework of the Bleasdale and Grafton farmhouse locations, an overhaul of the playable characters, new ways to capture and gain bonuses for evidence in the upcoming Chronicle update, and a brand-new map. That last one is particularly noteworthy, seeing as Phasmo recently had a new map in the form of the Point Hope lighthouse. Typical, isn't it? We wait all this time for new levels, and then two come along at once. The post Phasmophobia update enables voice recognition on Xbox and PS5 appeared first on Destructoid.
