Phasmophobia Crimson Eye 2026: Dates, Maps and Rewards

Quick answer: Phasmophobia’s Crimson Eye 2026 Halloween event begins October 8 and runs through November 1. The October 7 patch adds the event content and a new Seasonal Event toggle. Players can earn points on eight featured locations, unlock personal and community rewards, claim a limited Twitch Drop during the first week, and benefit from Double XP and rewards from October 15–22.

Phasmophobia Crimson Eye 2026 dates

Kinetic Games originally planned to deploy the event patch on October 6, then updated the announcement to October 7. The event start itself remains October 8.

All Crimson Eye event maps

Eight locations are part of the 2026 Blood Moon rotation:

• 6 Tanglewood Drive
• 42 Edgefield Road
• Grafton Farmhouse
• 13 Willow Street
• Bleasdale Farmhouse
• Point Hope — Standard only
• Camp Woodwind
• Nell’s Diner

Point Hope Restricted is specifically excluded. Nell’s Diner is one of the most notable additions for returning players, while the reworked Tanglewood and Willow Street locations also receive the Blood Moon treatment.

How to earn Crimson Eye points

The event revolves around Blood Moon locations. Kinetic Games says players earn event points by investigating on featured maps, completing optional objectives and hunting down Blood Moon totems. Those points contribute to both personal progression and community rewards.

Blood Moon weather raises the difficulty of investigations, so the fastest route is not necessarily the hardest custom setup. A reliable team that consistently finishes objectives and identifies ghosts can be more efficient than repeated failed high-risk runs.

Crimson Eye 2026 rewards

Kinetic Games has confirmed several unlockable rewards:

• Seasonal event tee
• Beholder ID Card and Badge set
• Blood Moon charm
• Upgradeable Crimson Eye trophy

Players who already own the trophy from a previous Crimson Eye event do not receive a separate duplicate trophy. Instead, continuing to earn event points upgrades the existing trophy.

How to get the Crimson Eye Twitch Drop

During the first week, watch a total of two hours of participating Phasmophobia streams on Twitch to earn the Crimson Eye tee. The campaign begins with the event and ends at 11:59 PM BST on October 15.

Make sure the correct Twitch account is linked before watching. The official Phasmophobia Twitch Drops page remains the safest place to confirm account-linking steps and campaign eligibility.

Double XP and rewards dates

From October 15 through October 22, completed investigations grant double XP and rewards. This is the best window for players who want to combine event progression with normal account progression.

What changed in patch v0.19.1.0?

The October 7 update prepares the game for Crimson Eye and adds a Seasonal Event toggle, allowing sessions to turn seasonal event maps on or off. Kinetic Games also fixed several smaller issues, including an Easter Egg reward unlock problem. The studio says its next major update is the move to Unity 6, planned for November.

Ghost Hunts 4 Hearts returns

The final week, October 26 through November 1, brings back Ghost Hunts 4 Hearts with the American Heart Association. Kinetic Games says the 2025 effort raised more than $100,000. The 2026 activity and its rewards will be available to Phasmophobia creators and players when it goes live, with more details to follow.
