Itching to play Friday the 13th: The Game on PC in 2026? You need a mod to be able to do that, and there are many mods to choose from.
If Resurrected doesn't work for you anymore, it's because it has gotten an update.
And so has Camp Forest Green.

Guide video how to install Camp Forest Green
The hour of judgement is upon you. Step into a brutal 3v1 multiplayer experience where one player becomes the Judge, a precursor to Jigsaw, and three others fight to survive as the Accused. Manipulate the trial from the shadows or work together to escape a deadly maze of traps, pressure, and impossible choices.
Set in the grim aftermath of World War I, SAW: Genesis delivers short, intense matches, oppressive atmosphere, and a twisted vision of redemption through pain and sacrifice.
The game is co-developed by Anshar Studios and Broken Mirror Games and published by Bloober Team.
The game formerly known as Summercamp has a new name: Last Summer.
A new development team, Silent Lamb Studio, has taken over the game's development.
It still is a camp-style asymmetrical horror game, and they are inclined towards 1v6 or 1v7.
"A massacre story becomes the catalyst for a group of free-minded campers. Escape a bloodthirsty hunt or take on the role of the terror they fear most. Will this be your Last Summer?"

For almost a year after the "death" of Friday the 13th: The Game the private server for Playstation was running smoothly, but then some invidual decided to ruin everyone's fun by a DDoS attack. Since then some extra steps are needed to be able to play F13 on Playstation. You need to verify your IP.
1) Join the Discord to get access to Playstation server: https://discord.gg/resurrected-778943077724586065
2) Whitelist your IP: https://whitelist.f13-resurrected.com/
3) Donate to keep the servers (Playstation/Resurrected) running (optional)
Playstation servers were in danger of shutting down at the end of 2025, but thanks to donations this won't happen as long as the cost of the server is covered.
Ever since Friday the 13th: The Game died officially, fans have been blessed with private servers. Now this could come to an end.
Resurrected and Playstation servers are in danger of shutting down at the end of 2025.
It costs money to keep the mods and servers running. According to some sources these servers cost 80 dollars a month. At some point there were even links on the game's main menu screen to donate money to keep the private servers running, but they have been since removed.
If Resurrected and Playstation are indeed shut down, that still leaves us with Camp Forest Green on PC. And some people say that a new mod, called Blood Lust, will come in early 2026.
But for Playstation players this could be the end.
EDIT
Good news. There have been enough donations to keep the servers running! The fans are refusing to let the game die.
Bad news: Playstation server was down due to hacking.
ATTENTION ALL DNS/PLAYSTATION PLAYERS
Playstation server is back up, but to be able to play you need to verify your IP!

Here's how you can donate to keep the servers running:
Out of fear of losing the emotes forever I'm saving these to this blog. Even the wiki doesn't have a full list. And I'm expecting the official site of this game to disappear at some point. After all, they did remove the discussion forum years ago. There was so much good information there...

I had done these challenges on Playstation many times. Because sometimes the updates broke the game so that you had to do them again to get your emotes back. And because we needed several accounts. Again, sometimes because you couldn't play with your old account because the game was broken. Good times.
But now I was doing these for the first time on PC. And I encountered a totally new problem. Some of the challenges (4/10) in Resurrected mod are completely dark for me. Jason can only see something while using Sense. So now there is even added difficulty which I did not need. Somehow I still managed to advance to the last challenge. I thought this darkness problem in challenges was because of my inferior graphics card, but changing the card to a better one didn't fix the problem.
So I have to ask: Has anyone else had this problem while playing Resurrected's single player challenges?
The undetected requirement has always been the most difficult one for me...
If you want a video of all the (officially released) emotes here's one. The PC mods Resurrected and Camp Forest Green have many more.
For years players have wished for it, and someone finally delivered.
Now there's a new mod where you can play in offline bots as a counselor against AI Jason in Friday the 13th: The Game.
In this mod, when you play against bot Jason you aren't the only counselor, the other counselors are bots. Which is worse, who wins: bot Jason or bot counselors? Bot counselors are notorious for their stupidity.
Bot Jason plays like a newbie, he can't even use shift. He often gets stuck or keeps running against an obstacle or stops to calculate what is the best route to the counselor.
So it seems that playing against AI Jason is the easy mode. And that't exactly what I need!
You should check out this gameplay video which demonstrates many features about this new AI Jason mod.
I have to say that haven't tested this new mod myself yet.
Reddit: Jason AI and Offline Bots Mod
Offline counselor mod gameplay video
Before this new mod in offline mode it was only possible to play as Jason against bots.
Friday the 13th: The Game is resurrected! You can still play the game on PC.
The Resurrected mod for Friday the 13th: The Game is free and free to play. You don't need to own Friday the 13th: The Game on PC/Steam to play it.
You can download the Resurrected mod from here.
No, the game is not dead.
My favorite game Friday the 13th: The Game basically died at the end of the year 2024, but in practice it is still possible to play it on PC and Playstation.
I was scared that my computer's current graphics card might not be able to run the Resurrected mod. My previous graphics card broke, and now I only have an older emergency one. Still, I downloaded the F13 Resurrected mod for PC, which includes all the cool stuff that wasn't officially released. Like finally some better and more interesting clothing for Adam...
I started experimenting, with offline challenges and bot matches. Everything else has worked fine except for the second challenge, which is almost completely dark for some reason. I can only see something when using sense as Jason.
My current graphics card doesn't support a specific way to record gameplay, but fortunately recording with Streamlabs works. Because I refuse to play Friday without recording my gameplay.
I rolled perks for several weeks in June as a "daily challenge", because every day you get cp as a login bonus. It seems like legendary and epic perks come much more often in Resurrected than in the original game. The strange thing is that there wasn't a marathon for weeks. And then when I got it, it was terrible. Finally, I hit the jackpot, a legendary marathon perk. I've never had that before.
How many years had I waited to play, for example, as Victoria in her angel costume? Resurrected mod is a dream come true for me.
The Resurrected mod has so much new stuff compared to the original game. New counselors to play, new maps (Grendel and Pinehurst small), outfits, emotes and weapons. Although Chad's legendary Shake it emote is missing, so the whole game is ruined. Although for some reason I have that emote, set as default for Chad... I just don't understand. But you can't use it on other characters.
One of the added counselors is Rob, who dies in the opening video of the game. I was excited because that character has the best stamina of the repair counselors. But then it turned out that Rob is broken. Jason can't damage him with slashes or knives. So playing as Rob is currently cheating. I hope they either fix him or remove him from the Resurrected mod.
Some time ago it was revealed that Friday the 13th: The Game will get a "sequel"... but no information about what kind of game. Will it be single player or multiplayer? We'll see.
But before that, there's a Halloween game coming out, which does have multiplayer.
In a dream I played Friday with my spouse who was Jason. He was throwing knives so I had to use spray all the time. In the end, I died and came back as Tommy. I went to the exit even though the police hadn't been called. I started dancing and spouse just watched Tommy dance. It's undeniably a pretty amazing sight to see since it wasn't possible in the original game.
In another dream, I played with two streamers. The one I call shithead (fyi he doesn't play F13 anymore) was Jason, I played as Mitch. Jason came right after me but I survived for a surprisingly long time, 8 minutes. I came back as Tommy. The other streamer and one other player were in the boat. I had to push the boat past dry land as Tommy. It was tough and I thought about asking someone on the boat to push it from time to time, but no.
John Carpenter’s Halloween is getting a new life as a video game. Developer IllFonic is bringing the horror classic to consoles and PC in 2026 with a stealth-driven survival experience.
Players can take on two roles: step into the mask of Michael Myers as he stalks the streets of Haddonfield, or play as civilians racing to survive the night. Myers hunts victims and sabotages communications to keep help away, while civilians must warn neighbors and find a way to call the police before it’s too late.
The game offers solo story play, offline matches with bots, and online multiplayer, all built around tension, strategy, and psychological suspense. IllFonic is recreating Haddonfield with multiple maps, iconic locations, and a soundtrack inspired by Carpenter’s chilling score to capture the feel of the original film.
With its blend of stealth, survival, and slasher thrills, Halloween is set to deliver a fresh nightmare. In Haddonfield, no one is ever truly safe.
Halloween will release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) in 2026, giving both longtime fans and newcomers a new reason to fear the dark.
We have been waiting for this day, and now it's official. Friday the 13th: The game is not dead.
Horror Inc. has confirmed that a sequel to Friday the 13th video game is in development.
This was revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con 2025. It is said that the game is at the top of Horror Inc.'s list. The game is "in the works" and is coming.
Friday the 13th: The Game is supposed to be dead, but it's still very much alive, thanks to private servers.
Friday the 13th: The Game does have some dedicated fans. Some of them are now working on a multiplayer game called Summer Camp. And this game is gonna be a copy of Friday the 13th: The Game in every possible way, but it's also gonna be legal. Or at least that's the goal.
It's gonna be difficult to copy a game, and try to keep it from not breaking any copyrights at the same time. Will they succeed?
For example they are planning on having a killer with a hockey mask on in the game. Can anyone except Horror Inc. use that mask? Why take such a risk? Put some other kind of mask on the killer, if there even has to be a mask.
Steam page for the game is said to be available in the near future. Fingers crossed.
You can follow Summer Camp on Twitter and Discord.
EDIT: Summercamp has also a subreddit now, go check them out!

Even if they shut the servers down, no matter what they do to you, you can’t die, you can never die.
Officially Friday the 13th: The Game stopped working at midnight EST on January 1, 2025. Since then it was only supposed to work offline, to be playable only as Jason against bots. But look what happened!
Yes, you can.
We all thought it was the end. The end of Friday the 13th: The Game. But it wasn't. Thanks to the hardcore fans of this game. TPTB tried to pull the plug, but they couldn't. Like Jason Voorhees, Friday the 13th: The Game refused to die, and came back.
Many players are now actually buing a PS4/PS5 and a physical copy/disc of F13 to play it. In 2025! When the game was supposed to be dead.
Within two days of the game "dying" a private server was up on Playstation. Unfortunately the settings are different on Xbox, and it might be impossible to come up with a workaround for that console.
If you are getting database login failure on Playstation, you can fix it by changing the DNS settings. Here's a guide how to access the private server on PS4/PS5, and keep playing F13 online.
EDIT
This server no longer works. Here are some new numbers:
I don't know. But you play at your own risk.
Here's a guide how to get the update to allow online play on PC. There are also some other ways (mods) to play this game on PC.
One of these mods is Resurrected. Here is a guide how to download and play it. You do NOT need to own F13 on PC/Steam to play Resurrected, we have tested this.
There are still new physical copies of the game available on Amazon, but the PS4-discs are selling fast now, so you might need to hurry. So even though the game was delisted from digital storefronts at the end of 2023, it can still be bought. Not even the price has gone up yet, like some people predicted.
Breaking news: Camp Crystal Lake is NOT closed! So Jason can quit crying, and get back to killing innocent counselors!
For years some people had falsely claimed that this game is dead, and now it's finally true.
Friday the 13th: The Game came to an end officially on December 31, 2024. The exact time of death was at midnight EST. The game still worked for a few minutes after that, but then all the players in public lobbies and private matches were booted to the main menu, with database login failure. And this time this error is permanent.
The game died at 7 am my time, and I was lucky enough to see the end live on Twitch streams. Back then I didn't know when the game would stop working, I only learned about the announced time afterwards. How great that someone finally told us the time, but only 4 hours before the end.
Just before the death of Friday I saw a private match. All the counselors were around a camp fire, dancing and crying. And even Jason joined their fun. It was like a memorial service, or a wake. What a great way to send off this great game.
I thought that in the end I would cry, or even have a breakdown. Luckily I had been mentally preparing myself for months, saying my goodbyes to each counselor individually. I loved too many of them.
It's been heartbreaking and bittersweet to see that I'm not alone in my sorrow. That there are many others who loved this game as much as I did.
Wonder what all the kill squads, trolls, cheaters and teamers are doing now? Probably poisoning other games.
The online portion of the game is no longer officially playable on consoles. You can only play offline bots, single player challenges and the virtual cabin. And even in these you can only use Jasons part 3 and 5.
EDIT
Now there's also a way to play the game on PS4/PS5!
Guide: How to play Friday The 13th: Game after shutdown on Playstation 4 & 5
After just two days the game is back online on PC and PS4/PS5! Gotta love this community!
Do note that this private server might be down occasionally, and no one knows for how long this fun will last. There has been surprisingly many players (hundreds), and full lobbies.
On PC there are some ways to play online matches, to enable quick play, private matches and matchmaking.
Try these at your own risk.

Then there's also a build called "Camp Forest Green", but it seems that a cease and desist is imminent. Don't ask me how to get this version.
So despite all the goodbyes and funerals, this game was dug up from its grave and hit by lightning, and lives on! Just like Jason.
Some people are dreaming of a sequel or a remastered version of the game, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.
But exactly how much would it cost to keep the game online? We still don't know that, and probably never will. There are people who would be willing to pay to be able to play this game.
But there always was an option, to make the game truly p2p. To make the database that still was on servers local. But of course Gun Media didn't bother to pursue this option. I mean why would they? They haven't made any money from this game for a long time, while still having to pay for it.
Was it a fun ride? Most of the time it was frustrating and enraging. So many people say they are grateful for the great people and friends they met through this game. It seems I only met assholes... Well, like someone said: Maybe assholes like each others, and become friends?
I played Friday the 13th: The Game for 6 years and thousands of hours, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt (affiliate link), and severe hatred for mankind.
Like someone on Reddit said: "This game helped me escape reality." Especially at the start of the COVID pandemic. And during these last horrible months, after all my 3 cats died within a short period of time. Now I have to face reality again: the cats are gone, and so is Friday. And I'll never be the same again.
Rest in peace my favorite game of all time, Friday the 13th: The Game. I'll miss you forever. Life is nothing without you.
And by the way, my Youtube-channel is full of videos of my very boring Friday the 13th gameplay.
After the break there are some more images related to the end of the best game ever.
Now it's officially over, for good. In the end I only got six and a half years with you. You will forever be the love of my life. I thank you for the memories, both good and bad. Unfortunately, there are more of the bad ones, or at least they are easier to remember.
There's only one week, just seven days, left to enjoy the existence of Friday the 13th: The Game!
And what could possibly be a better way to celebrate the last Christmas ever than playing as Chad in his red speedo?
Have you been naughty or nice this year? I know for a fact that Jason has been very, very naughty. Well, come 2025 his reign of terror will be over.
This game coming to a dead end is the biggest horror of them all, but there's at least one positive thing about it.
"You can't get killed by Jason if you can't play the game."
Were you on Jason's Dead List this year?
When you are looking for the perfect tree...
Oh, I'm sure that more than anything you want to see photos of that promised (red) speedo Chad...
Christmas spirit achieved, am I right?!
Happy holidays to everyone except Jason!
EDITED to add this gem:
