Developer VRWERX announced in a post on X that hybrid horror game Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul will be removed from all of its platforms soon as the developer’s license with Paramount has concluded. A ‘delisting’ sale campaign is already underway for gamers to snag the game at discount before its removal.
The game first released in August 2017 for Steam and PlayStation VR. A Quest port followed in September 2021. It is currently on sale on Steam and Humble Bundle, with sales on its other platforms to follow soon.

While VRWERX originally planned to add more content to the game, it says it could not financially afford to do so, saying the following in the post on X:
We always wished we had the budget and runway to continue expanding the game with new updates and content. But without the license and the financial support required to sustain it long-term, this chapter has to close.
We have seen similar situations before with games like Tarzan VR also being delisted while other titles like The Twilight Zone VR and The Exorcist: Legion VR simply changed their names after their respective licenses expired.
Paranormal Activity is available (for now) on Steam, Meta Quest, and PS VR1.
