The Texas Chain Saw Massacre First Playtest Details Announced

There’s been a bit of a surge lately in horror movies being turned into multiplayer video games. One of the games to come out into the marketplace that follows this trend is The Texas Chain-Saw Massacre. If you have been a fan of the franchise or are just interested in a new multiplayer horror game, then you will want to take note that the first playtest for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is in the works. Players interested in trying the game out can attempt to get a seat to the action through the Steam marketplace. 

It’s been announced through the official website for the game that the developers are holding a technical test. This will be taking place on May 25, 2023, and will go on through the weekend. Those on PC will be able to participate if they are selected. All you need to do is wishlist The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on Steam. That will alert you when the Tech Test page goes live. However, it’s noted that seats will be limited, so you might have to keep an eye out for when this test page does go up in order to claim a spot.

Since this is on the PC platform, you’ll want to make a note of the PC specifications required to run the game. The developers left a rundown of what they require from PC players, but it’s worth noting that this is not the finalized system requirements. Before the game launches, there will be further optimization to cast a wider net of available machines to run this game. So, for now, those that are interested in the playtest will need to ensure they can run the game.
