That code was working before Phaser updating from 3.19.0 to 3.54.0 version.

const scene: Phaser.Scene = …;  
scene.input.keyboard.on(“keydown\_SPACE”, () =\> console.log(‘space pressed’));

Probably, something was changed in keyboard-plugin.  
How I can add event listener for keyboard events for the phaser game scene now?

It’s `keydown-SPACE`, not `keydown_SPACE`. The `keydown_` events were deprecated in 3.20 (maybe even 3.16) and removed in 3.50.
