We already have a release date locked in for Gun Interactive’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Game, and we know the game will be coming to Xbox Game Pass. But Xbox has decided to sweeten things with Game Pass subscribers by announcing that they’ll be able to play the game on Day 1.
The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account dropped news earlier this afternoon that the asymmetrical multiplayer game will indeed be available for the service on launch day. It will join Gun’s other big name contribution on Game Pass in Friday The 13th: The Game, which also had Kane Hodder doing the mocap work (if you didn’t already know).
Of course, you still won’t “own” a copy of the game, but think of it as an extended demo you can play before you plunk down your money.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Game will launch for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Xbox Game Pass on August 18th. There will also be a Technical Test for the game on May 25.
And if you can’t wait that long to play the game, Gun Interactive did release a beefy making-of documentary last week that will certainly tide you over until the Technical Test details are announced.
