Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow Easter 2026 Countdown: Start Date & Time

Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow Easter 2026 Countdown: Start Date & Time

The lobby went quiet at dawn; my party pinged, and a Jackalope statue blinked into the corner of the screen. I felt that small rush you get when an old seasonal returns with a twist. You can almost hear the patch notes whispering: don’t sleep on this.

I’ve tracked Phasmophobia updates across Steam pages, Kinetic Games posts, Reddit threads, and the Moyens I/O embargo images so you don’t have to scramble at the last minute. Read this as your map: exact start times, what’s new, and how to prioritize the event rewards before three weeks slip away.

Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow event update release date and time

Last year my Steam client updated while I was still making coffee.

The 2026 Cursed Hollow run lands on March 31. Kinetic Games hasn’t posted an official minute-by-minute timestamp, but history favors a morning drop; most seasonal patches have arrived at the same hour. Expect the update to go live at around 7am CT / 1pm UTC, which lines up with previous releases and the usual Steam rollout window.

When does the Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow event start?

If you follow the Kinetic Games Twitter, Steam news, or the Phasmophobia Discord, you’ll see the same signal: March 31, morning UTC. I recommend refreshing the Steam update page and keeping an eye on the official Discord and Reddit for any last-minute delays—the community usually spots rollouts the second they appear.

When does the Easter 2026 event end in Phasmophobia?

On the calendar I circled April 21 and made a mental note to clear space for event runs.

Cursed Hollow runs from March 31 to April 21—three full weeks of event objectives. That’s enough time to chase both personal and community goals, but the rare cosmetics and the animated Pathfinder badge only drop while the event is active. If you want the static and animated ID Card & Badge or to push the event trophy higher, you should plan your runs now rather than later.

How long does the Easter 2026 event last in Phasmophobia?

The event length (three weeks) mirrors past Cursed Hollow cycles and is tailored to weekly rotations of event maps. That rotation matters because the Forest Spirit and its Jackalope-like minions only spawn on maps in that daily pool.

This year’s update repeats the Cursed Hollow formula but adds fresh reward tiers. Your in-game task is simple: find and interact with the Forest Spirit and the Forest Minions. The Forest Spirit is a special ghost model; the Minions appear as Jackalope-style creatures and only spawn on selected event maps, which rotate daily.

The Pathfinder ID Card & Badge returns in both static and animated forms, gated behind event objectives. There’s also an upgradable event trophy—if you played last year you can push that trophy higher now by contributing more event points. Community goals stack with your personal progress, and the community meter behaves like seeds in a shared garden: what you plant helps everyone harvest the rarer cosmetics.

What are the rewards in Cursed Hollow event?

Rewards include the Pathfinder ID Card (static + animated), the event trophy with upgrade tiers, and small seasonal cosmetics tied to event points. These items are time-limited and only available while the March 31–April 21 window is open; missing the event means missing the animated badge and trophy progress that are exclusive to this run.

I’ll be watching the Steam update feed, Kinetic Games’ Twitter, the Phasmophobia Discord, and the usual Reddit threads during rollout—so if the train departs early or a delay hits, you’ll know fast. Will you be ready to hunt the Forest Spirit the moment the servers flip? ?
