Difficulty Levels In Phasmophobia

There are five different difficulty levels in Phasmophobia for you to choose from. Which difficulty level you choose is determined by the map you're on.

These are the difficulty levels available in Phasmophobia:

• Amateur
• Intermediate
• Professional
• Nightmare
• Insanity

As you'd imagine, the maps of each difficulty get increasingly harder. It will become more and more challenging to identify the identity of the Ghost as you go up in difficulty, so it's best to start out with Amateur and work your way up. The game forces you to try out some Amateur maps before moving on to ensure that you have a sense for how to play the game without overwhelming yourself in Professional, Nightmare or Insanity.

That's all you need to know about how to change your difficulty level in Phasmophobia. While you might be stuck at Amateur difficulty at the beginning, you'll be able to play more difficult levels once you get a feel for the game!
