The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an asymmetrical multiplayer title based on the classic horror franchise which sees players “take on the role of one of the notorious Slaughter family, or their victims” – not too dissimilar to the likes of Dead By Daylight or the Friday The 13th video game. This formula seems to be working, as the title has already amassed over 1 million players in its first 24 hours.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the game’s official page shared the following: “Over 1 million of you went to Texas in the last 24 hours. Who survived and who turned into BBQ?”

It is worth noting that 1 million players does not equate to a million copies sold as while the game is a premium paid experience –  costing £33.50 on Steam –  the multiplayer title was made available day-one via Xbox Game Pass.

Still, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's success is commendable and with early impressions being positive, here’s to hoping that the team at Sumo Digital are able to keep this momentum going. The description for the game reads as follows:

“As a victim you must use your wits and stealth to stay out of the Family's reach and find the tools you need to lead to your eventual freedom. Slaughter Family players must seek out, track down, and stop their guests from escaping. Players of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre can finally find out if they have what it takes to survive.”
