Phasmophobia Hotfix v0.17.1.3 Patch Notes (19th May 2026)
Kinetic Games drops another targeted hotfix for Phasmophobia, this time squashing a crash on event maps that's been hitting players across all platforms.

Event maps were broken for a chunk of players, and Kinetic Games hasn't let that sit for long. Hotfix v0.17.1.3 is out today across all platforms, addressing a crash that was preventing players from loading into event maps entirely.
It's a single fix, but a meaningful one. Getting locked out of event content isn't a minor inconvenience, and the turnaround from Kinetic on these hotfixes has been solid. This follows closely on the heels of v0.17.1.2, which patched a separate cross-platform crash from the same update cycle. Two crashes, two quick fixes, which is the right response even if you'd rather they hadn't shipped in the first place.
Here's everything that changed.
