The Friday 13th: The Game has been updated on all platforms

The latest patch for Friday the 13th  is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Alongside various bug fixes, the update includes significant changes to the multiplayer horror game , including the removal of the ability to kill your teammates too often .

As Gun Media announced earlier this month, the team decided to remove the team kill on Friday, October 13, due to "massive abuse" of the mechanics. After today's update, players playing as camp counselors will no longer be able to intentionally kill their teammates using weapons they find in public matches, although they can be killed by sprints. The mechanics still exist in private matches as well .

Developer IllFonic has reduced the size of each map to "encourage slightly faster-paced gameplay than ever before . "  In addition , IllFonic has added new localization options to the game. The title is currently available in seven languages: English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian. You can find more information on today's update on the game's forums; We've included the full patch notes below .

It's scheduled to get a physical release for PS4 and Xbox One on October 13, Friday , October 13. There are also many new pieces of content, including Jason, outfits, and more in the survival horror game artifacts .  However, IllFonic still hasn't announced a release date for the game's single player mode .
