How to Play Multiplayer With Friends in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

To play multiplayer with friends in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you’ll need to either create a lobby or join one. Luckily, It’s very simple to jump into a play session with a friend.

How to Create a Multiplayer Lobby

To create a lobby go to the party options screen from the main menu. It can be accessed using the following prompts on each platform or input method:

• The options button on a PlayStation controller
• The menu button on an Xbox controller
• The “C” key on PC (mouse and keyboard)

After opening the party options menu, you’ll see two different selections: “create party” and “join party.” If you want to host a party, select the create party option to begin a joinable session. From there, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre lists a randomly generated session code. This is purely for crossplay parties, which are explained in greater detail in our crossplay guide. Alternatively, this screen also lists an “invite” button, which is used to invite players on the same platform as you directly.

How to Join Friends in Multiplayer

Joining to play multiplayer with friends in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a lot simpler. If you’re on the same platform, you don’t even need to access the party options screen. The “join party” option is meant for crossplay parties. If your friend is on the same platform, wait until the invite has been sent and accept using the platform’s system-level notifications.
