Phasmophobia finally released on consoles last week, after over a year of delays. Players can now access the game on most consoles, PC, and PCVR. But there are still a few consoles missing from the games' platforms list; most notably, Phasmophobia isn't on Meta Quest 3 VR quite yet. Here's when, and if, players can expect Phasmophobia to come to the Meta Quest 3 VR.
Is Phasmophobia Coming To Meta Quest 3 VR?
In an interview with VideoGamer, Phasmophobia developer Ben Lavender said that a Quest version of the game "likely won't happen for a long time." Lavender explained that, while the team is aware of the "huge demand," it's a lot of work for a small team, and optimizing the game for Quest would be a large obstacle. Lavender noted that features like dynamic lightning can be expensive on headsets, Nintendo Switch devices, or older-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
Lavender also said that the team hasn't looked specifically at a Quest 3 VR version, since they've been "very busy running around with everything else." However, Lavender also left things off on a hopeful note, saying that developers might revisit the idea after 1.0. However, they would need to "make sure it falls within the right space for the team."
It might not be exactly what fans want to hear, but unfortunately, it doesn't sound like Phasmophobia is coming to the Meta Quest any time soon. Developers have been extremely busy working on the game's console release, which hit digital shelves last week, just in time for Phasmo's Blood Moon event. While a Meta Quest version of Phasmophobia doesn't seem to be coming soon, it's likely it could happen sometime far off in the future, so fans shouldn't lose hope.
