Phasmophobia: Ghosts can now touch your real body
Phasmophobia
The ghosts from Phasmophobia can now reach through your monitor to touch your real body. At least if you are the proud owner of a bHaptics suit. The game's latest beta update adds support for bHaptics' full body suits and face masks. These let the game trigger vibrations on your body when a ghost appears.Recommended editorial content Here you can find external content from [PLATFORM].

Together with Phasmophobia's VR support, you can now transfer your entire body into the game. This function will probably only be used by the toughest ghost hunters. The suits from bHaptics are not exactly cheap either. The simplest form already costs you 299 dollars (about 250 euros), while a more expensive version with 40 instead of 16 vibration points costs 499 dollars (about 417 euros).

Also all detectives with less budget have not been forgotten in the new update. In addition to some bug fixes, ghosts are now able to blow out candles if the lamps in a room are switched off. New rewards have also been added for discovering a ghost through the candles, among other things.
One-man developer Kinetic Games continues to add more content to the co-op horror game. Phasmophobia received an update on March 6th with some quality-of-life improvements, changes to the AI of the mind and to the gameplay, as well as new temperature mechanics, and much more.
Phasmophobia Update Lets Ghosts Physically Touch Some Players
Phasmophobia’s latest beta update has the chance to be one of the creepiest releases yet, but only if you’ve got the right equipment to take advantage of it. The beta update adds support for bHaptics, a haptic suit that allows players to feel physical responses while playing supported games. For those who do have one of these innovative suits, you’ll be able to feel the game’s entities actually touch you while you’re off on your ghost hunts.
The note about the support for bHaptics was included in the breakdown of the game’s latest beta release which was shared on social media. The Phasmophobia team said the beta release is out now and specifically called out the bHaptics support as one of the release’s more notable features.
Those bHaptics suits don’t come cheap, however, so we likely won’t be seeing a ton of players taking advantage of this feature right away. A vest alone will run you around $300 or $500 depending on how involved you want it to be, but perhaps this update and the expanded support for bHaptics promised in the future will make the prospect of ghosts touching you a bit more enticing and accessible.
