Ghost Janitors — UPDATE V2.2.0

Talk, Ping, and Hide Better 💬

Cleaning a haunted house with strangers is a lot easier when you can actually tell them where the ghost is.

V2.2.0 is our biggest quality-of-life pass yet: in-game text chat, player pings, full controller support, and a heavy round of work on connection stability. Plus a change to how ghosts detect you when you're crouching, and a long list of fixes.

💬 IN-GAME TEXT CHAT

You can now type to your crew mid-match. No mic, no problem, and no more frantically pointing at a wall hoping someone looks.

📍 PLAYER PINGS

Mark anything in the world for your team. Tasks, tools, doors, or the thing that just walked past the doorway behind you. Fast, silent, and a lot clearer than screaming.

🎮 FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT

Ghost Janitors is now fully playable on a controller, start to finish. Every menu, every tool, every interaction.

🌐 CONNECTION IMPROVEMENTS

We fixed a large number of connection problems between players, and we've added tooltips that explain what went wrong when a connection fails, instead of leaving you staring at a dead screen.

🫣 SMARTER HIDING

Ghost detection against crouching players has been reworked. You can now hide behind objects much more effectively, so cover actually means something during a chase.

👻 GHOST BEHAVIOUR

  • Ghosts can no longer spawn directly on top of players. If they do spawn too close, they'll flicker for a few seconds while they move away from you

  • The fake Jester now has yellow eyes, while the real Jester has red eyes. Look closer before you run

🧹 GAMEPLAY CHANGES

  • Two players can no longer clean the same task at the same time, so no more wasted effort doubling up

  • If you've played on Nightmare, it now stays unlocked in the difficulty selection panel

  • Removed some of the books from Crimsonwood and Ravenwood

✨ VISUAL & QUALITY OF LIFE

  • The post-game screen has been redesigned

  • Added tooltips on interactable objects in the lobby

  • Added an info tip when you're holding an object in the lobby

⚡ PERFORMANCE

  • Fixed a memory leak caused by the VHS

🛠️ BUG FIXES

  • Fixed losing your Ghost Insurance if a ghost touched you while you were returning to the lobby

  • Fixed jumpscares getting stuck in the air after triggering

🌍 LOCALIZATION

  • Fixed several issues with the Japanese translation

  • Updated a number of translated strings across multiple languages

That's V2.2.0. This one was all about making the co-op part of co-op actually work, and a lot of it came straight from your reports and suggestions.
