Friday the 13th: The Game will be maxing out players’ stats and unlocking practically everything, ahead of the game’s delisting at the end of the year.
Publisher Gun Interactive announced last month that its Friday the 13th licence will expire at the end of 2023, meaning it will have to pull the game from sale on December 31, 2023.

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).
Gun says that once the game is delisted on December 31, 2023, it will still be playable for at least another year for those who already bought it.
To compensate for the game’s finite lifespan, Gun announced that it would permanently reduce the price of the game to $5 / £4.19 and its DLC to $0.99 / £0.79 until it’s delisted.
“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,” it stated last month.
““We would like to thank our community for the dedication they’ve shown to Friday the 13th: The Game and Gun Interactive as a whole, and we are happy the game will live on awhile longer and continue to be enjoyed by anyone owning the game already.”
