It's the second year for Phasmophobia's Ghost Hunts for Hearts event in which players come together to raise money for the American Heart Association Liive, and they've already managed to set a new personal best.
The event only lasted a week, but in that time players surpassed the target set and raised over $200,000, dwarfing the previous fundraising high: "Last year, the Phasmophobia community raised over $100,000 for the Heart Association's amazing cause and we’re hoping to go bigger and better this year by inviting the entire Phasmophobia community to join us," a blog post says.

To celebrate the overwhelming success Phasmophobia studio Kinetic Games is rewarding players with some in-game items. Players will be able to find them in-game but there was also a Twitch Drop introduced as part of the campaign. And instead of just getting a plain old static Advocate Badge, players will have a fancy animated blood-red one with glistening red blood cells and a heart stamp, because they managed to reach the "secret fundraising goal" that was set before the fundraising began.
"Your kindness and generosity will not go unrewarded," the devs reveal in an official social media post (via Eurogamer). "Log in to Phasmophobia before the 15th November to claim the Animated AHA Advocate ID Card and Badge, available for all players."
If anyone is having trouble getting the reward or if the prompt simply isn't popping up in-game, Kinetic Games has directed players to its support team to help solve the issue.
This good news also comes alongside a massive development preview which contains "a lot of exciting news for the rest of the year" such as the upcoming content update, the move to Unity 6, a map rework, and "new in-game warnings". This is all in the lead up to Phasmophobia's anticipated 1.0 release at the end of 2027 which has now been in the works for six years and counting now.
