Friday the 13th: The Game is being delisted in December, will cost $5 until then
Friday the 13th: The Game will be delisted at the end of the year, publisher Gun Interactive has announced.
The asymmetrical multiplayer horror game was released in 2017 and has continued to enjoy something of a following, despite its dedicated servers being shut down in 2020 (peer-to-peer matchmaking is still possible).
However, Gun has now stated that its Friday the 13th licence will expire at the end of 2023, meaning it will have to pull the game from sale on that date.
Following this, the game will still be playable for at least another year, for those who already bought it.
“The time has come,” a statement on the official Friday the 13th: The Game Twitter account reads. “Our license for Friday the 13th will expire on December 31st, 2023.
“On that date, Friday the 13th: The Game will no longer be available for sale, both physically and digitally. The game will, however, continue to function through at least December 31, 2024, if you already own it.”
To compensate for the game’s finite lifespan, Gun plans to permanently reduce the price of the game and its DLC until it’s delisted. These price changes have yet to be implemented at the time of writing.

“At this time, we’ve made the decision to reduce the price to $4.99 for the base game and $0.99 for each piece of DLC content,” the statement reads. “We will continue to offer the title and content at that price point right up until it is removed from digital/physical storefronts on December 31st, 2023.
“We would like to thank our community for the dedication
