Phasmophobia players raise over $230,000 for heart charity, more than double last year’s total

The Phasmophobia community raised more than $230,000 for the American Heart Association through the Ghost Hunts for Hearts fundraiser, more than doubling last year’s total. Kinetic Games announced the result on 6 November, after the event surpassed its $200,000 target, unlocking an animated charity-themed reward for players.

The drive ran from 26 October to 2 November, with more than 500 streamers taking part, the largest turnout yet for the association’s Heart Liive streaming initiative. Last year’s fundraiser brought in just over $100,000; this year’s total is about £173,000. Phasmophobia players can claim the animated Advocate ID Card and Badge by logging in before 15 November.
