Ghostbusters is an action video game developed by FireForge Games and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Taking place after the events of the 2016 film, the game features four-player cooperative gameplay where players control new Ghostbusters characters to defeat enemy ghosts.

The game had a development cycle of eight months[2] and was released in July 2016.[3]

The game was panned by critics and considered one of the worst video games of 2016.
