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:&nbsp; 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prestiging isn\u2019t mandatory&#8211;you can choose to ignore the mechanic and level up to level 9,999 instead&#8211;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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below, we explain how to Prestige in Phasmophobia, how it actually works, and the rewards you\u2019ll earn at each new Prestige level.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-prestige-in-phasmophobia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prestige in Phasmophobia<\/h2>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1816909\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Phasmophobia-Screenshot-2026.07.07-15.08.27.34.png?w=1024\" alt=\"The Phasmophobia main menu displaying the player ID Card\" class=\"wp-image-1816909\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If you can Prestige, you&#8217;ll see a &#8216;Prestige&#8217; button below your card.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To Prestige in Phasmophobia, you first need to reach player level 100. Once you have, return to the main menu board (the screen that shows the option for singleplayer, multiplayer, etc.) On the upper-right corner of the board, you\u2019ll see your player ID card. If you\u2019re eligible for Prestige, there will be a blue \u2018Prestige\u2019 button below your card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re sure you want to Prestige, click the button, and a screen will pop up that explains that you can unlock a new badge and themed ID by Prestiging, and shows a preview of what you\u2019ll unlock, but warns that all your money, equipment, and upgrades will be lost, forcing you to progress through the leveling system again. If you\u2019re sure you want to proceed, select the \u2018Prestige\u2019 button in the bottom-right corner and then select \u2018Yes\u2019 on the following screen that asks (again) if you\u2019re sure you want to proceed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll then have your player level reset to 1, but there will be a Roman numeral in front of the number that indicates your Prestige level. So, for example, if you Prestige for the first time, your ID will now display \u201cI-001.\u201d All equipment and upgrades you previously bought and unlocked, and all your money, will also be wiped, but you will have unlocked a cool ID card and badge that you can find under the \u2018Customization\u2019 menu, and (up to Prestige 10) you also unlock an additional loadout setup slot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can Prestige at any time after you reach level 100, so if you still have unfinished business, such as higher-tier equipment to unlock, are heavily dependent on higher-tier equipment, or simply don\u2019t want to progress through the level system again, you can always Prestige at a later date&#8211;or never.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-the-max-prestige-level-in-phasmophobia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the max Prestige level in Phasmophobia?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maximum Prestige level in Phasmophobia is currently 20, indicated by an \u201cXX\u201d in front of a player\u2019s level on their ID card. Once you do Prestige, you can level up normally to level 3,999, with the option to Prestige again offered at level 100. As such, the maximum overall level available in the game right now is \u201cXX-3999.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-all-prestige-levels-and-rewards-in-phasmophobia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">All Prestige
