Steam players have until November 3 to grab two free DLC packs for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Despite developer Sumo Digital confirming that major updates for the game will end in May 2025, the studio has decided to treat players to a small Halloween surprise.
Free Halloween DLCs Now Available
According to the game’s Steam page, players can now claim the following two DLC bundles for free:
- Slaughter Family Bloody Skins Pack – includes five unique skins for the Slaughter Family.
- Rush Week Halloween Outfit Pack – features five themed outfits for Victims.
These limited-time giveaways are available only to those who already own the base game. In addition, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is hosting a Double XP event through November 3, giving fans an extra incentive to return to the haunting world of the game this Halloween.
A Farewell Gift from Sumo Digital and Gun Interactive
While publisher Gun Interactive has stated that the game has reached its “full potential,” the end of major updates marks a bittersweet milestone for fans. The game has not been delisted, and these DLC giveaways seem to serve as a thank-you gesture to the remaining player base.
Some fans view the freebies as a farewell gift, noting that server activity has dropped significantly in recent months. Others, however, remain optimistic that this could spark renewed interest or pave the way for a future revival—though such a comeback seems unlikely based on recent announcements.
A Final Chance to Revisit a Forgotten Horror
With declining player numbers and its development cycle nearing completion, this promotion might be one of the final events for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Players who wish to revisit the chilling atmosphere of the game are encouraged to claim the free packs before November 3.
Meanwhile, PC gamers looking for more freebies can also pick up 911 Operator for free until October 29, Distant Space until October 31, and a free DLC for Simon the Sorcerer Origins—perfect for fans of fantasy adventures.
