The Texas Chain Saw Massacre multiplayer game, which was once a day one Xbox Game Pass title, is basically being killed off this month as studio Gun Interactive moves on from development.
To be clear, the game will remain playable and purchasable for the time being, but May's update will be the final one, and the game will then transition to peer-to-peer matchmaking. It will move from official servers to player hosted lobbies sometime after the May update.
"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will not be receiving any further future content or support. This means that there will be no more DLC, balance updates, or bug fixes, after our upcoming May patch. You can still expect a few more patches in the future in order to transition towards peer-to-peer matchmaking.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will still be playable and is NOT being delisted from store fronts. Our community team will continue to interact with our players as we continue to celebrate The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with all of you who love this game just as much as we do."
This is perhaps not super surprising, given the studio's history and the trajectory of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre since leaving Xbox Game Pass. Gun Interactive previously worked on the now-shuttered Friday The 13th Game, and the team also slashed the price of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre last year, shortly after it departed the XGP service.
The Kentucky-based development studio doesn't appear to be finished, though. It closes out this recent statement by saying we should 'STAY TUNED' for what's next from the team. Who's taking bets on another famous horror franchise conversion from Gun Interactive?
