Friday the 13th: The Game Gets Final Update Before Server Shutdown

Friday the 13th: The Game

If you love something, set it free, and if it doesn’t get murdered for smoking pot while having sex in the woods, it was meant to be.

Sad news, campers; Friday the 13th: The Game is reaching its end of life, and the servers will be shut down at the end of November. But there is a little light at the end of the tunnel, in a way. The publisher, Gun Media, says that there will be one last update. And what’s more, you’ll still be able to play the game, either via peer-to-peer or private matchmaking. And since the database servers will stay open, you’ll lose none of your progress.

The patch that will go live in November will also be the final patch for Friday the 13th: The Game. The team has been hard at work completing fixes for a long list of player issues to include in that final patch, and the community can expect finalized patch notes to be released in the week prior to the patch going live.

The official forums will be archived in a locked state, so that players can still reference the information that lives on the various boards. As for the online presence of the game and official channels, we will be switching to a more minimal approach, keeping our social media channels active for any necessary announcements only.

The game will continue to be available for sale, and as such will continue to receive the full support of JasonKillsBugs.com as a resource for troubleshooting. Please do continue to use the support site for any assistance needed.

The game sill still be on sale, though it’s social media presence will pretty much zero out. It’ll also still have support through JasonKillsBugs.com. Finally, the double XP, CP, and tape drop rates instituted at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak will remain in place, so it’s all gravy.
