‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Developers Announce Final Patch; Dedicated Servers Being Decommissioned
The developers over at Gun Media issued an important update on the future of Friday the 13th: The Game today, announcing that the game’s final patch is on the way this month.
Gun’s lead community developer Matt explained all in a post over on the game’s official forum, writing that “all things must come to an end, eventually.”
He continues, “Dedicated Servers for Friday the 13th: The Game will be decommissioned in the upcoming patch, set to roll out this month, November 2020. What this means is that the game will revert back to peer to peer matchmaking for Quick Play lobbies. The Database Servers, however, will stay active and continue to house all player progression and unlocks, so users can continue to play Friday the 13th: The Game via peer to peer Quick Play and Private Matches.”
“The patch that will go live in November will also be the final patch for Friday the 13th: The Game. The team has been hard at work completing fixes for a long list of player issues to include in that final patch, and the community can expect finalized patch notes to be released in the week prior to the patch going live.”
The good news? You’ll of course still be able to play the game (and purchase it if you haven’t gotten around to that yet), and the team notes that it “will continue to receive the full support of JasonKillsBugs.com as a resource for troubleshooting.”
It was back in 2018 that Friday the 13th: The Game was crippled by the ongoing legal issues plaguing all things Friday the 13th, putting an end to new content. The team has continued to issue patches to fix bugs and maintain the game, but planned content including the “Grendel” spaceship map from Jason X had to be scrapped due to forces beyond Gun’s control.
Friday the 13th: The Game is available on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Physical ‘Observer System Redux – Limited Edition’ Announced for Switch 2, Coming This October
Available now digitally on the Switch 2, for those fans who want that something extra in regards to Bloober Team’s cyberpunk horror title Observer, Meridiem has the answer, announcing that it will publish and distribute a physical edition of Observer System Redux – Limited Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2. Set for release on October 30, you can pre-order the game now.
In addition to being on a physical cart, Observer System Redux – Limited Edition will include a special case, a lenticular 3D postcard, in-game ad cards and digital content.
Originally released back in 2019, Observer received an upgraded and expanded System Redux version the next year. Starring the late Rutger Hauer, the year is 2084. The future has turned out much darker than anyone could imagine. First, there was the Nanophage. A digital plague that killed thousands upon thousands of those who chose to augment their minds and bodies. Then came the War, leaving both the West and the East decimated and shattered. With no one left to seize power, corporations took over and forged their own crooked empires.
You are an Observer – a tool of corporate oppression. Feared and despised, you hack into the darkest corners of your suspects’ minds. You creep into their dreams, expose their fears, and extract whatever your investigation may require.
Observer System Redux is also available for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
