In Phasmophobia, successfully identifying the ghost, capturing media, collecting the bone, and completing specific objectives during a contract can earn you XP (AKA experience). Players level up their character by meeting the required XP threshold, with that number increasing as you progress to higher levels, and each new level unlocking rewards such as cash bonuses, new equipment and maps, and more challenging difficulty levels. But when you reach level 100, you have a choice: continue enjoying the perks of your hard-earned cash and equipment, or Prestige, which resets your equipment, level, and money in return for a new badge and ID card title.
Prestiging isnât mandatory–you can choose to ignore the mechanic and level up to level 9,999 instead–but it does offer a new challenge for ghosthunters. While you keep the difficulty levels, maps, and trophies you have previously unlocked, you essentially start from scratch otherwise, forcing you to identify the ghost with only the base equipment and, once again, gradually work toward unlocking higher-tier equipment and increasing your funds.
Below, we explain how to Prestige in Phasmophobia, how it actually works, and the rewards youâll earn at each new Prestige level.
