The ghosts are going to start busting you instead
Phasmophobia has been working towards smarter ghosts for a while now. Kinetic Games have made regular, incremental changes over on the beta branch for a few months. Now, quite a lot of those changes and bug fixes have all been rolled together and released onto the game’s main early access version.

In other difficulty changes, professional level contracts have gotten a bit tougher, as has getting accurate temperature readings. At a professional level, haunted locations automatically begin with the power turned off. Tougher yet, rooms without power now drop to a 5°C temperature. So professional players will now need to run in and get the power turned on before they’ll have much luck locating a ghost with a temperature reader.
One extremely handy change is that Phasmophobia now lets you independantly select a map and a difficulty level. You’ll still get a randomly generated selection of locations, but you won’t get stuck choosing between a professional level prison map or an amateur level house. Pick the porridge that’s just right, ghostielocks.
Aside from the changes themselves, Kinetic Games also say that “this update now puts the game into a much more stable state which will allow for new content to start being worked on.” They don’t specify which new content might be coming up, but you can find the backlog of ideas on thepublic Trello boardwith ideas such as new mansion and apartment building maps or a post-mission stats report.
