Does Phasmophobia have an April Fools’ 2025 update?

Hunting for love and ghosts at the same time sounds pretty epic.

Phasmophobia frequently releases seasonal updates to add special holiday twists to the ghost-hunting process. There aren’t updates for every holiday, though, so you may wonder whether there’s one for April Fools’ 2025.

Some holidays get a fresh update each year, while others only have playable content occasionally. The devs also love to release secrets and hidden features, so finding new content isn’t always easy. Here’s everything you need to know about Phasmophobia’s April Fools’ 2025 content and whether or not there’s an update.

Is there a Phasmophobia update for April Fools’ 2025?

Sadly, there is no April Fools’ 2025 update for Phasmophobia. There’s only ever been one update for this holiday, so while Phasmophobia does feature many annual seasonal events, April Fools’ is usually not one of them.

All upcoming updates are listed on the official Phasmophobia Trello board, so if you’re ever unsure when the next one will be, this is the best place to look. We always get an Easter event, and this year is no different, so we are at least getting fresh content sometime soon since it has to be released before the end of April.

Phasmophobia April Fools’ 2025 content

Although there’s no actual update for April Fools’ 2025, there’s still a bit of fun Phasmophobia content for this holiday in the form of a fake update trailer posted by the devs called “Hunt for Love.” In this trailer, the ghosts are romanceable and have plenty of puns to share, like “I think I’m Jinn love with you” and “Stop hiding my love! Raiju gotta be like that?”

Instead of the usual three pieces of evidence you can find using equipment, the ghosts featured in this trailer have likes. Some of these likes include murder, poetry, hunting, and snacks.

There’s no actual love-based update for the ghost-hunting game, as the trailer ends by saying “available never” and “wishlist never.” It’s still a fun and silly way to celebrate April Fools’, though, and it’s certainly worth viewing if you’re a fan of Phasmophobia.

All April Fools’ updates and content for Phasmophobia

Phasmophobia released content for April Fools’ in 2022, 2023, and 2025. The content has varied each year, and there was nothing for this holiday in 2021 or 2024. There are regular seasonal events for most major holidays, but since April Fools’ is a smaller one, it generally seems to be hit-or-miss.

Phasmophobia 2022 April Fools’

The 2022 April Fools’ content featured fake patch notes with new locations, OP ghost abilities, lots of silly equipment, possession mode, and more. There was no actual update this year, though, and the patch notes were just a joke to celebrate this holiday.

Phasmophobia 2023 April Fools’

2023 is the only actual April Fools’ update Phasmophobia has had so far. This small update made all players’ heads extremely large, gave all ghosts vocalizations a higher pitch, caused all players to constantly be in a T-pose position, and had ghosts T-pose when passing through the DOTS Projector or performing certain ghost events.

Phasmophobia 2025 April Fools’

The full extent of the 2025 Phasmophobia content for April Fools’ is just the previously mentioned trailer. It’s not much, but luckily, we do have an imminent Easter event and update to look forward to. This update will likely launch a week or two before Easter, so expect to see new content sometime between April 10 and 28.
