Texas Chain Saw Massacre 4K Steelbook Movie And Game Collector’s Set Is Out Now

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Steelbook is now available at Amazon and Best Buy. If you only read the long-winded name, you’d probably think it’s a new 4K Blu-ray edition of the 1974 classic. That’s sort of accurate, as it does come with the iconic slasher film on 4K Blu-ray, but it’s actually a combo pack that exists because of the 2023 asymmetric multiplayer game. This special physical release for PS5 and Xbox Series X comes with a 4K Blu-ray of the legendary horror movie housed in a commemorative steelbook case and a pack of trading cards featuring characters from the game.

The steelbook case features exclusive artwork by renowned artist Gary Pullin, who is known for illustrating a substantial number of posters, covers, and other promotional materials for iconic horror films. The collectible trading cards have a fittingly classic look. You can choose between PS5 and Xbox physical editions, both of which come with the 50th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The set also comes with 13 DLC add-ons for the game, including two additional playable characters.

It’s a bit humorous that this collection is available at Best Buy, because the retailer stopped carrying Blu-rays this year.

While this is a cool collection for fans of the game and the original movie, if you’re only looking to own the movie, you can instead pick up The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 4K Steelbook for $33 (down from $55) at Amazon. This is essentially the same version of the film bundled in with the 50th Anniversary Collection, though the steelbook isn’t as cool. However, the 40th Anniversary Black Maria Limited Edition is pretty darn cool, as the 4K and 1080p discs are housed in a replica of the Black Maria semi-truck from the movie. Remarkably, it’s still in stock, and Amazon has discounted this five-disc set to $70 (was $100).

Back to the game: Our Texas Chain Saw Massacre review gave it an impressive 9/10, praising it for its intricate map design and rewarding gameplay that pushes you to experiment with your play style.

“The Texas Chain Saw Massacre plays, looks, and sounds like its team holds the source material in the highest regard,” wrote critic Mark Delaney. “Faithfully transposing the film’s signature terror into a modern multiplayer game is a feat on both ends. As one of the year’s scariest and best-designed experiences, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has reset the bar for multiplayer horror games.”
