Highlights

Developer Gun Interactive releases a new patch for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, fixing bugs and making feature changes since its successful launch.

The patch incorporates crucial bug fixes, addressing problems with party voice chat, and introduces innovative features, including key rebinding options for PC players. In order to enhance anti-cheat measures, crossplay between PC and console players will be temporarily suspended, but will be restored at a later date.

Developer Gun Interactive has released a new patch for its asymmetrical horror game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, at the beginning of September. This update includes various bug fixes and feature changes. Following its successful launch in August, this is the latest update for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Inspired by the renowned horror film franchise of the same name, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an online multiplayer game with a 3v4 format. It provides players with an asymmetrical survival horror experience, similar to the genre-defining game Dead by Daylight, although the two games have distinct differences. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre quickly gained popularity, attracting over 1 million players within a day of its release. Critics have generally praised the game, although fans and critics alike reported several technical issues after its initial launch.

Gun Interactive's development team has been diligently working to address and enhance the game's functionality and they have furthered their efforts with the most recent update. The studio's Brand Strategy Lead shared the official patch notes on Reddit a day prior to the update's release, providing a comprehensive overview of the fixes and modifications that would be implemented. The patch notes highlighted four specific bug fixes, including one that had been affecting party voice chat in game lobbies. This fix is particularly crucial, considering the significance of communication among party members in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

In addition to resolving the bugs, the patch notes also mentioned four notable changes brought about by the update. These changes included the inclusion of key rebinding options for PC players and a modification allowing lobbies to initiate with just six players. However, the most significant announcement in the patch notes addressed a major alteration to crossplay in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: from now on, PC players will no longer be able to engage with console players. The patch notes clarified that this separation between PC and console is only temporary and will be enforced "while we continue to improve our anti-cheat tools and resources."

The introduction of bug fixes in this patch will bring joy to players. PC gamers in particular will appreciate the addition of key rebinding options. However, the decision to restrict crossplay for PC players may leave many disappointed. Nevertheless, this measure is only temporary and is unlikely to discourage devoted fans who appreciate the distinctive gameplay experience offered by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The game is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
