This update addresses numerous bugs impacting the user interface and visuals, promising a smoother, more polished experience for players on both console and PC platforms.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Sumo Digital's asymmetrical horror game inspired by the 1974 classic, pits the terrifying Slaughter family against their victims in intense 3v4 multiplayer matches. Set in 1973, the game follows Ana and her friends as they search for her missing sister, only to encounter the horrors of Leatherface and his family. The game has been praised for its faithful recreation of the film's chilling atmosphere.

The June 25th update includes several key improvements:

• New Cosmetic Item: The Hitchhiker’s Claymore outfit becomes available for purchase at $2.99 USD.

Cook and Julie's skill trees now allow players to reach level 10 on all paths, thanks to the addition of attribute points. Hands' stamina exploit has been patched, preventing excessive attacks, and his ability upgrades now function correctly across all tiers. Incorrect node connections have also been rectified across all skill trees.

• UI and Visual Fixes: A bug displaying removed perks in character customization has been eliminated. Visual issues with Maria's hair and model have also been resolved.
