How to fix Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed can't join game error

The Ghostbusters are back, and finally, you can play the game with your friends. However, you may find yourself unable to play the game with your homies because the can't join game error is preventing you from doing so.

What do you do now? Well, worry not because you are in luck. Here are some tips and tricks that will help you solve this problem in a jiffy.

  • First, check the Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed server status. Xbox users can go here and PlayStation users can visit this page. If you are on PC, visit to Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed's Twitter account to see if they have reported any ongoing server issues. If the servers are down, you need to wait until they are up and running.
  • If the game servers are working as they should, your connection might be the problem. Try the following tips to improve your connection to the game servers.
    • PC users can try disabling their antivirus and firewall and see if it makes any difference. Meanwhile, console gamers can do a power cycle.
    • Shut down other programs that access the internet to reduce traffic in the network.
    • Restart your modem or router to make sure your network device hasn't become flooded with data.
    • Try changing your DNS server to Google’s (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1).
  • Since it is a new game, it is likely that the sheer number of players trying to access the servers simultaneously is causing the issue. If that's the case, you can try to connect during non-peak hours.

Hopefully, one of the suggestions above will help you to resolve your connection issues. If not, a bug in the game code might be causing the issue. If that's the case, you should contact the support team at illfonic as they are the only ones who can help you with that issue.
