• Changed: Key Rebinding
  • We’ve added key rebinding to the PC version of the game.
• Changed: Lobbies will now launch with 6 players
  • This change should help lobbies get running smoother, quicker, and with less drops due to incomplete lobbies.
  • Leatherface is STILL required for a match.
• Changed: Quick Match Menu
  • We’ve moved Quick Match to the top of the menu options when looking to join games.
  • Quick Match will result in not only quicker matchmaking into a lobby, but also fuller lobbies.
• Changed: PC Removed from Cross Play
  • We are temporarily separating PC from the console player base in cross play while we continue to improve our anti-cheat tools and resources.
• Tuning: EAC and Anti Cheat Improvements
  • We have made several improvements to our anti-cheat and protection from additional cheat resources.
  • We’ve also improved our tracking and logging for cheat detection and consistent future improvement.

While some folks may be upset with the cross-play features being toned down for the time being, there are unfortunately a fair number of players ruining things for all types of gamers. However, it is great to see that some of the issues I had with the game during my review session, such as the stuttering framerate are being addressed rather quickly and efficiently.

Playing as either the Victims or the Family in this intense asymmetrical multiplayer experience can be some of the most exciting gaming moments you experience, so make sure that you’re checking out our Texas Chainsaw Massacre section below to get your hands on all of the information you could need.
