The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (TCM) is approaching its first anniversary. When it launched on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms on August 18 last year, it also landed in Xbox Game Pass. That advantageous position helped the game climb to over 4 million players in its first month.

With the game soon exiting Game Pass, the TCM community has been… let's say gloomy about it on social media. Some suggest the game can't survive without the players coming from Xbox's subscription service, and others, unaware of how Game Pass deals work, wonder why the game is leaving the service at all.

Wes Keltner--CEO, designer, and director at Gun Media--provided a statement to GameSpot regarding TCM's time in Game Pass, as well as its forthcoming departure, in an effort to address the concerned fans. He also suggested the game may one day return to the subscription library, as some games have in the past.
