Announced earlier this week, the next patch update for Friday the 13th: The Game will be the final one, with the developers over at Gun Media informing us that dedicated servers will be decommissioned in that upcoming patch. The final patch has now been fully detailed today, along with the announcement that it’ll be going live on November 10th.
Here are some of the patch updates you can expect…
- Commonly referred to as Sliding or Teleporting, the team has fixed an issue allowing players to manipulate combat stance changes.
- Abduction, when Jason is able to Morph while holding a counselor, has been fixed.
- Mask HP loopholes where use of a flare gun or firecrackers could get the mask to come off too quickly have been fixed.
- Jason Kill Sequence – Kneel: The issue where the kneeling animation during the Jason Kill process could be repeated has been fixed.
- Hiding Under Bed: An issue where players could hide under beds and become stuck in a way where Jason could not kill them has been fixed. While it is still possible in some instances to cause the bug, the counselor will be able to be killed by Jason in that state.
- Tommy Jarvis voice lines have been restored, and this is between him and Jason.
Most importantly, “With this patch, matchmaking will shift away from Dedicated Servers and onto Peer to Peer Matchmaking for all matches.” What does that mean, exactly?
- The game will still be playable online publicly with the Quick Play option and privately with the Private Match option.
- For more on this change, as well as the status of the game going forward, please follow up with our statement here.

Friday the 13th: The Game is available on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
