This year's Phasmophobia Ghost Hunts for Hearts charity event saw players raise over $230,000 (approximately £173,000) for the American Heart Association, surpassing last year's total more than double. The fundraiser, organized by Heart Live, a streaming initiative of the American Heart Association, took place from October 26th to November 2nd, 2026.

Kinetic Games, the developer of Phasmophobia, praised the community's generosity and announced that players who contributed could claim an exclusive Advocate ID Card and Badge on Phasmophobia before November 15th.
