Publisher Gun Media has sadly confirmed today that Friday the 13th: The Game is effectively reaching end-of-life status, which will see its dedicated servers decommissioned in an upcoming patch.
In a post on the game's official forums, lead community manager "mattshotcha" explained that Friday the 13th: The Game will still be playable in the future, but will revert to peer-to-peer connections:
"Dedicated Servers for Friday the 13th: The Game will be decommissioned in the upcoming patch, set to roll out this month, November 2020. What this means is that the game will revert back to peer to peer matchmaking for Quick Play lobbies. The Database Servers, however, will stay active and continue to house all player progression and unlocks, so users can continue to play Friday the 13th: The Game via peer to peer Quick Play and Private Matches."
He also went on to explain that the November patch will be the final of its kind for the 2017 Xbox One title, with a long list of fixes set to be included. The game will remain for sale, and the Double XP, CP and Tape Drop Rates that have been applied for most of the year will remain active indefinitely.
Sad about this? Are you still playing Friday the 13th: The Game? Let us know in the comments.

What the....? This game hasn’t even been out for that many years. And wasn’t it supposed to get some single player campaign or something?
I bought this game on sale, but never got around to playing it. Will try it soon
This is why I avoid multiplayer games. Eventually they stop working
I feel people might've glossed over a detail or two, this game will still have multiplayer... It is just reverting to a P2P connection. No more official servers is all.
@KelticDevil the ongoing lawsuit killed any hope of future content. They had so much planned but I always assumed the Jason x stuff was never going to happen. Very sad because I met some great people on that game.
Get ready for the host to rage quit and kick everyone out just like it was at launch.
@Thwomp_Stomper
Thx for the heads up on the info! I was looking forward to the single player stuff, but now I know why it never came.
@Link41x Nobody has. But just like it was in the 90s, P2P is still garbage.
At least they offering peer to peer for those that like the game. I hate it so much when games only have dedicated servers and just die when its no longer profitable to support them.
@Thwomp_Stomper at least you can still get together a group of friends and have fun with them.
