Phasmophobia is designed to be played over and over again, preferably with many different players, er, ghost hunters. The more you play, the more you level up, and the more stuff you unlock. Would you give up all that ghost-hunting progress to get a fancy profile picture?

Here’s how to Prestige in Phasmophobia and if it’s a good idea.

You can choose to Prestige in Phasmophobia when you hit level 100. As soon as you hit this level, you get the option to Prestige. Like in many games, this option quite doesn’t make sense. Thankfully, you don’t have to Prestige if you don’t want to. Heck, you can go as high as level 999 and never Prestige—but there are a couple of reasons why you should.

What happens if you Prestige Phasmophobia?

Like in many games with this option, when you Prestige in Phasmophobia, you go back to level 1. This means you have to start playing the game as if you’re playing it for the first time and unlock and go through the ascension system all over again.

Yes, you should Prestige in Phasmophobia, and there are a few reasons why.

First of all, you get a fancy new profile card to show off to anyone who might be playing with you. Don’t worry; even if you are only level one on your Prestige card, everyone can see you’ve reached level 100 at least once.

Even though you start from scratch, you’re armed with all the knowledge you didn’t have when you first started playing the game. You may not have all your equipment, but you can always earn them back, and it is relatively easy, too.

Finally, you need to Prestige a few times to unlock some achievements in Phasmophobia.

If you don’t care about any of these and don’t feel like grinding again for all your equipment, feel free to level up past 100, but if you ask us, it’s fun to make a fresh start sometimes.
