Friday the 13th video game license expires this year

Friday the 13th: The Game

The developers for the Friday the 13th video game have announced that the game will no longer be available for sale after December 31, 2023.

This removal is a result of the developer’s license for the IP expiring. As a result, the game is going on sale for $4.99 and all DLC will only be $0.99. The game is expected to work normally until at least the end of 2024.


The time has come. 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. 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. 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 they’ve shown to Friday the 13th: The Game and Gun Interactive as a whole, and we are happy the game will live on a while longer and continue to be enjoyed by anyone owning the game already.

Although Friday the 13th: The Game is fading into memory, Gun Interactive has taken what they learned from this title and are working on a Texas Chainsaw Massacre game that’s been met with positive remarks on social media.

Friday the 13th: The Game is available on Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
