July 16, 2024 — The latest The Texas Chain Saw Massacre update is scheduled to begin rolling out on console and PC at roughly 12:00 UTC (8:00 AM EDT / 1:00 PM BST / 2:00 PM CEST / 8:00 PM UTC+8). The headline changes target Grandpa Perks, plus long-requested fixes to how Victim Endurance and Proficiency behave in real matches.

Sonny Outfit Pack Two: $4.99, with a PlayStation delay

Sonny Outfit Pack Two is priced at $4.99 USD. Gun Interactive says the DLC hit a certification snag on PS5 and PS4, so it will arrive later for PlayStation players while the team works with partners to resolve the issue.
