We're now just a week away from the launch of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on Xbox Game Pass which arrives on Friday, August 18th, and we've finally got full details on exactly how the game will run across all console platforms.
Basically, the Xbox Series X version is the big winner here. Series X owners will get two modes to choose from - 4K at 30FPS or Dynamic 1080p at 60FPS. The Series S, on the other hand, is limited to just one Dynamic 4K at 30FPS setting.
Here's the full breakdown:
As you can see, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will also be available on Xbox One when it arrives on Game Pass next week, and you'll be able to experience it on that platform with a resolution of 1080p at 30FPS.
The big downside on Xbox One is that crossplay is not supported whatsoever. If you play on Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S you'll be able to match up with PlayStation 5 and PC users, but Xbox One doesn't feature crossplay at all:
"PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S (ninth generation) can matchmake with each other. Xbox One will only be able to matchmake with other Xbox One players (eighth generation Xbox). PlayStation 4 players will only be able to matchmake with other PlayStation 4 players (eighth generation PlayStation)."
That's a bit of a disappointment, but we're still looking forward to checking out The Texas Chain Saw Massacre when it arrives on Xbox Game Pass next week, and hopefully it'll end up proving one of the highlights of the August lineup.

Performance mode all the way for me. Hope this is good, although I'm going in with low expectations due to it being a multiplayer only game.
What's the basic premise here? One guy is the killer and 4 or so people run from him?
4K on Series S is a surprise tho.
I think the scariest part about this game is probably the dynamic 1080p for 60fps.
@Cashews 3 players control the Killers (Bubba and his 2 brothers) whose objective is to Kill the survivors (and not let them escape the farm) and satisfy their grandpa and 4 are survivors trying to escape them
Can you actually play this without friends? Might be a dumb question, but I never play multiplayers yet this game seems interesting to me.
@Kaloudz what the heck is F13?
Should be an option for 60fps 1080p on series I dont care about graphics I'd choose the frame rate every time I know everyone's different some people prefer quality mode and some performance mode but that option should be there then again maybe the series s cant handle it Im not sure?
I'm looking forward to playing this and it's a smart move to bring it to game pass as it'll help with the player population.
@Cashews this game sees 3 killers and 4 survivors I believe. As you play as leatherface or 2 of his family members in the matches.
@eduscxbox
Considering it can't do 4k that is surprising and most likely a typo
@ZuneTattooGuy I don't think it is a typo. The Series S can indeed render graphics at 4K, it just can't output it in that resolution. Ori did that as well at the beginning of the generation. Ori runs at 4K 120fps on Series S and 6K 120fps on Series X.
What surprised me is that the devs choosed that instead of the 1080p 60fps.
It's obvious that 60 fps is more demanding than 4k and Series S couldn't handle 1080p/60 fps without fps drops. In a multiplayer game though 4k isn't as important.
I WAS very interested until they announced no offline with bots
