Gaming NewsHorror Games 8 2 Ayefkay November 11, 2025
Looks like it’s time to grab a coffee, some pie, and a thermometer – because Phasmophobia’s newest map, Nell’s Diner, is officially live across all platforms.
Kinetic Games dropped the update today, and ghost hunters everywhere are already clocking in for their first late night shifts at this haunted roadside eatery.
The Nell’s Diner update trailer gives a cinematic peek into the eerie 1950s-style diner, complete with flickering neon, cramped booths, and that unmistakable “something’s watching you” energy.
It’s a smaller map (kinda comparable in size to Tanglewood Drive) but packs a lot more density, with 13 rooms total and 11 potential ghost locations, including a walk in freezer that’s just begging for a frostbite warning.
Early player clips already show ghosts getting bold in the kitchen, and the new interactable objects mean hunters will have plenty to mess around with (and be terrified by) in between EMF readings.
If you’re the type to wander off from your group, don’t be surprised if you end up as the next cold case on the menu *insert ominous thunder sounds here*.
Outside of Nell’s Diner itself, this funderful brings a handful of fixes and a shiny new reward for dedicated players.
The Moneybags ID Card and Badge can now be unlocked after earning the Break the Bank achievement…or automatically awarded after completing your first contract if you already have it.

Kinetic Games also cleaned up a few long-standing bugs that players have been complaining about. Ghost Orbs should now stay where they belong instead of sneakily phasing through walls, shattered light events have regained their proper audio scares, and Crucifixes are no longer capable of falling through the floor (thank god, they also can’t be placed inside objects anymore so plan accordingly).
It’s a relatively light patch overall, but the diner itself more than makes up for it.
New environmental details, layout density, and object interaction are already making Nell’s Diner feel like a fresh yet classic Phasmophobia haunt – one that rewards both solo investigators and full four-person teams.
I’ll be diving into the new map myself over the next day or two to put together a complete guide for Nell’s Diner, covering hiding spots, cursed possession locations, and all the extra goodies tucked into the map’s corners…but before that, I’m taking a bit of time to rest and recover.
I’ve been a bit sick lately, and since Report AFK is a one person operation (from the writing to the SEO to videos), I’m trying to give myself a short breather, hence why there hasn’t been any content the past few days.
That being said, I’ll have something more in-depth ready soon…probably tomorrow or the day after, basically once I’ve had a chance to explore everything properly and rest up a bit.
Truly, thanks as always for the continued support, patience, and general awesomeness from everyone who reads and shares these posts!
Phasmophobia just keeps getting better, and I can’t wait to break down every creepy corner of Nell’s Diner once I’m back to full health.
Until then, happy hunting gamers and maybe skip the cherry pie if it starts whispering your name!

About the author call_made
Hi, I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of Report AFK, a gaming and anime site built for people who are tired of sanitized mainstream media coverage and toothless hot takes. I want to bring both the technical know-how and battle-tested gamer instincts to every article here. Whether I'm deep-diving into ARAM strats, roasting a broken patch, or side-eyeing the latest "diverse" but soulless AAA release, I write with one goal in mind: cut the fluff and tell it how it is. I've worked in digital marketing and spoke in conferences nationwide, but my heart’s always been in the trenches of gaming - whether that’s grinding ladders, theorycrafting late at night, or binge-watching the 38th questionable isekai this season. Follow my rants, insights, and updates on ReportAFK.com and let me know what you think in the comments - I read (and usually respond to) every. single. one.
A place for gamers, by gamers, untarnished by corporate gaming media and their nonstop attempts to elevate bad games while denouncing any developers brave enough to stand up to them.

OMG I LOVE THIS MAP SO MUCH

Hey Jamila! Me too, it’s actually pretty cool for a small map! It’s a little weird not having any verticality to it like Tanglewood or Willow Street, but it’s flat layout is still bigger than it seems.
Thanks for stopping by!
