Want to know if you can play Texas Chain Saw Massacre in single-player? We’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about the game modes offered in the new title.
From developer Gun Interactive, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre brings the terrifying showdown between the infamous Slaughter family and their victims back to the big screen in a playable experience. Mirroring the characters from the 70s film adaptation, the game offers up five victims and five family members to play as. Your task is to fulfill the duties of your character’s assigned role in a 3v4 face-off. Like other popular titles within the genre, the latest Texas Chain Saw rendition boasts an online multiplayer game mode, placing solo play on the backburner.
- Exclusive Variant Poster included in every physical edition while supplies last.
- Featuring locations depicted in or inspired by the 1974 classic horror film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will see teams of Victims and Family facing off against one another in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
- 3v4 team based multiplayer, a first for asymmetric horror.
- Victims must use teamwork, stealth, and all of their abilities to try to escape from the clutches of the Slaughter Family. With a robust metagame encouraging build crafting, and intense, terrifying gameplay, the team of Victims will find the odds stacked against them as they search for the tools they need to unlock exits and flee the property.
- The Slaughter Family must lock down the property and hunt down each and every victim. Featuring the iconic Leatherface, Cook, and Hitchhiker from the film, the Family will be joined by new additions Sissy and Johnny, created in cooperation with Kim Henkel, the original writer of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The Family must use their special abilities and brutal nature to chase down, corner, and dispatch the Victims one by one, all the while making sure to keep Grandpa fed.

Does Texas Chain Saw Massacre Have a Single-Player Mode?
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre doesn’t offer a single-player game mode. Instead, its asymmetric multiplayer format takes center stage, pitting players against each other in victim and family member roles. Misery loves company, as they say, and you’ll definitely need the help of other players to achieve your team’s goal.
Face Off in Online PvP and Co-op
Texas Chain Saw Massacre offers a cross-platform multiplayer experience with online PvP and co-op features. Whether you choose to play as a member of the Slaughter family or one of their unfortunate victims, you’ll team up with other players to accomplish your goal in opposing roles. While this challenging format has been done before, Gun Interactive’s Texas Chain Saw rendition offers a greater challenge, letting loose three killers per four survivors.
Not to mention, the game’s non-playable character, Grandpa, throws a wrench in the tired formula by granting buffs to the Slaughter family in exchange for blood — and lots of it. This sets the game apart from others of its kind while maintaining familiar multiplayer mechanics, effectively breathing new life into the classic horror franchise and its genre at large.
