When is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Game Release Date?

[Editor’s note: Fact-checked and updated links]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s release date is technically later this year during the summer, on August 18. However, a technical test for the title began on May 25. The tech test allowed selected gamers to play the game months early so that the developers could get feedback before it was released.

The tech test lasted until the following Monday, May 29. The game proved popular within the timeframe, specifically with fans of horror games similar to Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th. Since the tech test has ended, there’s no way to play The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game until its release date.

How Much Will The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Cost at Release Date?

You can pre-order the game on the PlayStation Network Store, the Microsoft Store, and Steam. However, the price has not been revealed at the time of this writing. As Texas Chainsaw Massacre gets closer to its release date, the full price for the game will be announced.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has the same publisher as Friday the 13th: The Game – Gun Media. Given the similarities between the two titles, the cost for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game will probably be around the same as Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th launched with a 39.99 USD price tag.

Friday the 13th proved to be extremely popular with horror enthusiasts and streamers. Licensing issues with the Friday the 13th brand halted further progress with the game, even canceling several planned DLC.

Gun Media then turned its attention to another horror franchise with an iconic slasher icon. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre does not suffer the same kind of legal shenanigans plaguing the Friday series. Gun Media and the developers at Sumo Nottingham have free reign to make a horror game with a long shelf life.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
