Texas Chain Saw Massacre Dev Addresses The Game Leaving Xbox Game Pass

As a seasoned gamer with decades of blood-curdling, heart-stopping experiences under my belt, I can confidently say that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (TCM) has left an indelible mark on my horror gaming journey. When it first roared onto our screens last year, I was instantly hooked by its raw, visceral terror and the unrelenting adrenaline rush it provided.


As we’re nearing the one-year mark, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (TCM) is reflecting on its successful debut. It was released for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms on August 18 last year, simultaneously making an appearance on Xbox Game Pass. This strategic placement played a significant role in the game’s rapid growth, attracting over 4 million players within its first month.

With the game about to leave Game Pass, there has been a sense of sadness among the TCM community on social media. Some argue that the game may not survive without the players it gained from Xbox’s subscription service, while others, who might not understand how Game Pass works, are puzzled as to why the game is leaving the service in the first place.

hey there fellow gamers! I wanted to reach out and give you all a heads up on some news regarding Time Capsule: Massacre Manor (TCM) on Game Pass. As the big boss at Gun Media, I understand that this might be concerning for some of you who have been enjoying TCM as part of your subscription.

It’s amazing to think that a whole year has passed since The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was unveiled! We’ve enjoyed every moment of producing fresh content and observing how our players interact and share their extraordinary journeys within our game. In many aspects, we owe the visibility and success of the game so far to Game Pass and the dedicated team at Xbox. As our tenure with Game Pass draws to a close, it’s time to direct our attention towards the future of Texas, and it certainly looks promising!

“Game Pass is a fantastic subscription service, particularly beneficial for smaller teams like ours pioneering novel genres. It breaks down numerous access barriers for gamers, allowing them to experiment with diverse games and genres they might otherwise overlook. Though not everyone may find horror multiplayer appealing, we’ve discovered a large number of new players through it. Moreover, while many subscribers use the program casually, we’ve maintained an active and dedicated player base since its launch across all platforms. Many Game Pass users are likely to transition to full-paying customers, especially with their discounted Xbox membership option. In my opinion, that’s a pretty attractive offer.”

As a devoted admirer, I’ve truly cherished my journey within the Game Pass universe. Who knows? Perhaps one day, I’ll find myself back among its vibrant community again. Winning the Xbox Excellence Award and being one of the most-played games on Game Pass this past year is often an indication that a game isn’t just destined to revisit that platform, but also promises a bright future brimming with innovative content and exhilarating experiences – the kind that are as thrilling as they are gruesome. Until we meet again in Texas!

Regarding predictions about Texas’ future, our TCM crew has unveiled a novelty called the Content Pass. This package provides a discounted bundle of forthcoming DLC, costing $20 instead of $45 if purchased separately. The pass encompasses two fresh characters (one per team), four stylish cosmetic packs, an execution pack boasting new grisly kill animations, and early access to the upcoming free game mode, Rush Week.

Furthermore, there will be additional premium cosmetic packs coming up, along with multiple free enhancements. These improvements will include a fresh map and varying weather conditions for three of the current game maps.

Reflecting Keltner’s perspective on the future of the game after Game Pass, Matt Shotcha reassured an anxious player, “[T]itles join and leave Game Pass frequently. That’s just how the platform operates […] Rest assured, we haven’t changed our content plans in any way. The availability of a game on Game Pass doesn’t influence our support and content development.”

In my assessment of Texas Chain Saw Massacre by TopMob, I labeled it as one of the most terrifying video games I’ve experienced, awarding it a 9 out of 10 rating. Moreover, I stated that when you hear the chainsaw roaring, it stands apart in horror, regardless of the medium being used.
