We have a solid release date for when we'll be scared out of our minds on Xbox Game Pass! That's right, Gun Media's multiplayer adaptation of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming to the service day one on August 18th, 2023. Hooray!
This latest asymmetric online effort opts for a 4 Vs. 3 setup - quite different to other similar titles like Dead by Daylight and Gun's previous multiplayer scare-fest Friday the 13th.
Still, it's keeping the spookyness that's for sure. From what we've seen of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre so far it looks properly scary, sticking to the original movie's classic visual style which knows how the ratchet up the tension.
We'll hopefully see some more of the game in action sooner than August as well. A tech test is happening a few months prior to launch, beginning on May 25th. The team will bring news on how to access this preview in the run up to its launch.
Are you looking forward to this one? Or are you as scared as us about it? Let us know down below.

The first movie scared the crap out of me when I was a teen. I’m curious how the game is going to turn out. I’ll be checking it out on gamepass. I know Friday the 13th was filled with bugs, but I liked what they did with the game. They did their homework and there were so many nods to the movies. I wonder how it would have turned out if they were able to keep going with that series. The lawsuit stopped them from making more content. After that, they kind of gave up on updating bugs. I hope they’ve learned from their mistakes and this is a more solid game.
@senote unfortunately they didn’t know how long that lawsuit was going to last. It definitely took its time in the courts. I would have liked to of seen them continue with the game once the lawsuit was over, but even then there was no guarantee at that time they could continue when the lawsuit was settled. They mentioned more maps, counselors, modes… and then the lawsuit stopped all that. I agree it gave them a way out, but you could tell by how much detail they took from the movies, that they were huge fans of the series. Just bad timing. I know not everyone liked the game. It was a buggy mess, but I liked it and would have liked more.
