Steam users have until November 3 to claim two free DLC packs for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Fans may recall that developer Sumo Digital previously announced it would end major updates for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in May 2025, but that hasn't stopped the studio from surprising players with some freebies.
Publisher Gun Interactive stated that the game's major updates since its launch have helped it reach its full potential, making further patches unnecessary. Still, the silver lining in ending support for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is that the game hasn't been delisted. Now, with the spooky season approaching, Sumo Digital and Gun Interactive have shared some good news that might encourage fans to revisit the rather forgotten game.
10 Things The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Does Better Than Dead By Daylight
Dead by Daylight and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre are both asymmetrical horror games, but they both excel in different areas.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Is Giving Away Two Skin Packs for Free
According to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's Steam page, two DLC bundles, titled "Slaughter Family Bloody Skins Pack" and "Rush Week Halloween Outfit Pack," are free to claim until November 3. The giveaways arrive just in time for Halloween, giving fans of asymmetrical multiplayer games a reason to jump back into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It is worth noting that only those who already own the base game can claim the freebies. Alongside these promotional DLC packs, the game is also hosting a Double XP event that runs through November 3.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Free DLC Content
- Five skins from the Slaughter Family Bloody Skins Pack
- Five Victim outfits from the Rush Week Halloween Outfit Pack
Fans appear surprised by the new free content, though many have expressed disappointment that the once-popular game will no longer receive major updates. Some players have noted that the servers are mostly empty, viewing these freebies as farewell items marking the end of an era for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Others remain hopeful, suggesting these gestures from the developer could hint at a brighter future or even a possible revival, though that seems unlikely given the studio's recent statements.
The current free promotion for The Texas Chain Saw Massacr e could be one of the game's final events, as its player count continues to decline and it edges closer to an official end. Fans are encouraged to check it out while they still can. PC users looking for more freebies should also note that 911 Operato r is free on Steam until October 29, while the arcade-style game Distant Space is available to keep for free until October 31. There's also a free DLC for the recently released Steam game Simon the Sorcerer Origins, which fans of fantasy games may want to check out.
