The Texas Chain Saw Massacre News

Starting now, we will have Double XP turned on until Tuesday, August 20th, 2024.

The following fixes are for our upcoming, August 15th, 2024 patch.


Family House - Blood Moon will be dropping for a limited time. This map variant will show up in rotation as Family House - Dawn, meaning that this variant will be a surprise when you load into the match.


Players will be able to download FREE chainsaw skins as well as grab Danny Outfit Pack II for $4.99 USD.



Patch Notes

Changed: Private Matches

• Private Matches can be now be launched with only 1 person
• We have seen some occurrences of the title locking up if a private match player is on any screen other than the lobby screen when the lobby countdown timer ends.
  • This will cause a lockup/crash of the title
  • Players can restart the title to correct this
  • All players should make sure they are in the lobby screen and waiting when the timer reaches zero
• There are some instances of a player getting stuck in a non-functional lobby if they open a hosted lobby and close it again immediately.
  • This will trap the player in a lobby that will not work
  • If a player does end up stuck in a non-functional lobby due to attempting to close again too quickly, simply restart the title
  • If opening a private match lobby, make sure to give it a second before closing the lobby again
• Both of these issues are currently on our list for a fix in a later patch

Fixed: Camera Slingshotting in Museum Mode

• We have fixed an issue where if the camera was positioned behind a crouching victim, the camera would slingshot and move out of bounds during photo opportunities in Museum Mode

Fixed: Non-Interactable Hiding Spots

• We have fixed an issue where approaching a hiding spot from the farthest right side in Museum Mode would make the hiding spot non-interactable
• We fixed an issue where the button to interact with a hiding spot would vanish if a player got too close to the hiding spot

Fixed: Blood on The Mill - Night

• We have fixed an issue where blood stains and blood buckets would sometimes appear gray or bright white when viewing from a specific angle in the darker areas of The Mill - Night

Fixed: Ghost Town Puddle on The Mill - Night

• We have fixed a lighting issue where a bright silver puddle would be present under a car in the Ghost Town area

As we head into our Anniversary week, we have some new content and deals for all players to celebrate!

Called Blood Moon, the iconic Family House map will douse the Slaughter Family’s property in an eerie red lighting cast from the Blood Moon! Stay tuned for a closer look at it later.

Every player will also be receiving FREE chainsaw skins for Leatherface. Rev those chainsaws on Family House during the Anniversary with your choice from the Bloody, Grimy, and Muddy skins. Players just need to head to the store to download these free chainsaw skins.

As we roll into our next year, the team wanted to talk about some very exciting news via our Content Pass.

Our Content Pass is to let you all know what to expect from September through February. The Content Pass will include: a new Family Member, a new Victim, a new Execution Pack, four new cosmetics, and early access to the new free Game Mode “Rush Week”.

“Rush Week” will be an exciting and completely brand new way to play The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This mode will be free to all players at a later date. More details on “Rush Week” will be coming soon.

Our team is working alongside our studio partners to bring the community some much desired DLC such as a new Leatherface Skin, a Victim Hair Pack, a new map, weather variants for already released maps, more cosmetics and execution packs. These listed items will be purchasable DLC that is not included in the Content Pass but will be slated to release throughout the months of September 2024 - February 2025.

We are excited to say that the Content Pass will be available to purchase this September for $19.99 USD.
