Texas Chain Saw Massacre Game Gets Permanent Price Drop

Key Takeaways

• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s price is now $19.99, half of its original $39.99 price.
• Gun Interactive’s asymmetrical survival horror game features Leatherface and other iconic villains.
• The Rush Week update adds a new 1v6 game mode, offering gameplay variety and potentially attracting new players.

The slasher-inspired competitive survival horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is having its selling price cut in half. While the game had previously sported a full price of $39.99, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is now available for $19.99.

Released in August 2023, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is Gun Interactive’s attempt to bring the classic slasher license into a video game format. This isn’t Gun Interactive’s first attempt at using the slasher genre for a survival horror game, as it also published Friday the 13th: The Game. The latter title fell from grace due to a complication regarding the copyright of the IP and work had to be ceased, but the game is still playable until the end of 2024 and is beloved by fans despite its sad end. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, however, is still going strong and looks to stay that way, with frequent balance changes and content updates on the horizon, as well as a substantial price drop going forward.

As announced by the game’s official Twitter account, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is now available for $19.99; a 50% cut from the original price tag. This price drop coincides with the release of Rush Week, the newest major update for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which adds a new 1v6 game mode taking place right after the events of the game that follows a murder spree by Johnny as he breaks into an unsuspecting sorority house. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre typically has up to three members of the family hunting down victims, so a new game mode featuring a lone killer is a welcome shake-up to gameplay.

Leatherface is one of the most iconic characters in the slasher horror genre and has a surprisingly long history in the world of video games. Leatherface’s inclusion in Dead by Daylight as one of the game’s first licensed killers is well-known, but The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has a history in gaming that began as early as the 1980s. From long-forgotten pixel-art games to cameos in Call of Duty, the franchise has come a long way, and things are only looking to keep going as more and more content is released for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

The price drop landing a week before the launch of the Rush Week update is sure to bring a wave of new players to the game, and the 1v6 mode is the perfect place for players of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to hone their hunting skills.
