Phasmophobia Hotfix 0.9.0.9 Update Patch Notes Resolve Ascension Issues

Patch notes for Hotfix 0.9.0.9 have been kicked out for Phasmophobia. Like Hotfix 0.9.0.6, the latest patch addresses issues that emerged following the extensive Ascension content release and brings many changes. With this hotfix, folks can now grab the Spirit Box T1 much more easily in VR. It also removes the 100% initializing text once VR has finished loading to allow for a smoother loading transition. Let’s examine the Phasmophobia Hotfix 0.9.0.9 update patch notes.
