A few days ago, Gun Media finally announced that the long-awaited Xbox One patch for Friday The 13th was finally available to download. When gamers logged in to nab the update, many Xbox One gamers noticed something else was made available as well: the Tom Savini-designed flaming Jason skin, a downloadable item which was promised to be exclusive to those who had backed Friday The 13th on Kickstarter.
Free Tom Savini Skin For Xbox Players. On PS4 anytime I use the Savini skin i hear nothing but 'OMG HOW DID YOU GET SAVINI JASON' So if you like that kind of attention, it can still feel special. I just tell them all my uncle works for Nintendo.Hello I had my code since Kickstarter but never. Are you implying that the majority of the player base have Savini Jason? I haven't even seen one in lobby for a month. Only played against one once. (All Xbox players will have it, of course.) I think there is a significant portion of the player base that would love to get Savini Jason, even if it costs extra money. 💚 New to Tipping? 💚 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL TODAY!

Those who had actually backed the project on Kickstarter were frustrated to see the product become freely available to the public, as they'd paid extra for the exclusive use of the designer skin. Unfortunately for those backers, this isn't even the first time this has happened - Sony made the same mistake last month, releasing the skin as a free item for any gamer to download. Gun Media was eventually able to get Sony to pull down the content, with the exact same course of action taking place on the Xbox One.
Gun Media promised that the Tom Savini design would never become publicly available, and it's unfortunate that a game which has been plagued by many glitches and issues from the start has also been unable to protect backer-exclusive content meant for those who supported it from the beginning. Of course, gamers who hadn't bought into the Kickstarter tiers have been quite happy to download the skin while it's available, as it's not likely that Sony or Microsoft will make the same mistake again. Given Gun Media's prior stance on the subject, it's unlikely the skin will be made for purchase from the general public, either.
Now that some of the game's most glaring problems have been fixed via patches, the majority of gamers can look forward to new content like additional horror-themed Easter Eggs. Recently, the news that developer Illfonic was already producing another game received a negative backlash from fans who still had concerns about Friday The 13th's development, prompting Illfonic to state that support for the title had definitely increased since it became a hit among fans. Despite this increase in support staff, some issues - like Microsoft or Sony accidentally releasing Kickstarter exclusive skins - appear to be outside of the studio's control.
At the time of this writing, it appears that Microsoft has fixed the issue with the skin's availability.

If there is one thing that gamers should not expect to see as downloadable content (DLC) in the newly released 'Friday the 13th: The Game,' it is the now highly sought-after Savini Jason skin.
Publisher Gun Media confirmed in a post on Steam that the blazing, more terrifying version of the game's resident serial killer Jason Voorhees designed by Tom Savini (thus the name) will not be released as DLC.
Gun Media emphasized that the skin was made as a Kickstarter-only item as a way to thank the 'earliest supporters' of 'Friday the 13th: The Game' who 'believed ... funded ... [and] supported.'
This does not mean that each and every backer (there were more than 12, 000) received it. Those who opted for the cheaper version only got the base game.
Despite the growing demand for it, Gun Media maintains that the Savini Jason skin is not coming to 'Friday the 13th: The Game' as a DLC and will remain as an exclusive to those who chose the higher tier options.

'We made that clear on Day 1 of the Backerkit that these two DLC were for backers; both Kickstarter and Backerkit,' Gun Media wrote in its lengthy post, referring to the Savini Jason skin and the counselor clothing pack.
'So here we are and here is where we are always going to stand; that skin and those clothing items are not for sale. They are not for secondary sale. They are for those that backed us and have been with us from the beginning. They are the people that took a chance on a campaign that has produced a game that is overall fun,' they emphasized.
Gun Media warned that they will give in to 'no amount of comments, complaints or insults or suggestions' with regard to bringing the Savini Jason skin pack for 'Friday the 13th: The Game.'

The DLC is not in any way superior to what the base game has although many still want it for the design and how cool it would look. Sadly for those who missed out, it looks like Gun Media has something else in mind as far as 'Friday the 13th: The Game' DLC goes.
