The death of a really awesome game: JASON gets a permanent shutdown

Just as we put the Christmas tree down, we wanted to play FRIDAY THE 13th on Playstation.. and we realized we were living under a rock and forgot we missed the chance.

The game is dead…

It died December 31, 2024.

Friday the 13th: The Game has just ended online service..

While Friday the 13th was removed from storefronts in 2023, players who already owned the game had access to it through the very end of New Year’s Eve 2024. They used New Years eve to play their last rounds in tight bikinis while Jason searched for them in the woods of Camp Crystal Lake.

The game was mostly fun–besides the weird lags or game play errors. For the most part, it was a great game to play and it will be missed by the loyal fans who still had it.

The game succeeded in collecting a dedicated fanbase upon its release in 2017, but franchise creator Victor Miller’s legal battle over copyright first killed its ability to release new content, then Friday the 13th closed its servers in 2020, enabling only peer-to-peer matchmaking.

And now we have the game’s permanent shutdown on December 31, 2024..

Here is some game play from when the game was released years ago.


So the Playstation of Jason is gone, We will still always have the Nintendo version.
