The developer behind the game Christmas Massacre, Puppet Combo, has announced that their PS1-style stealth slasher game will not be coming to Xbox or Nintendo Switch platforms despite being available on Steam and headed to PlayStation 5. They mentioned on social media that the game is "too crazy" for the aforementioned platforms.

Christmas Massacre is described as an '80s inspired game with PS1-style graphics where the player sneaks around and commits murders without being detected. This title has drawn comparisons to the controversial game Manhunt from Rockstar Games. Puppet Combo has previously released similar styled games such as Murder House and Nun Massacre on multiple platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.

Despite the violent nature of their games, which is clearly indicated by their names and descriptions, this is the first title from Puppet Combo that has been selectively accepted by console makers. The reason for the game not being released on Switch and Xbox has not been elaborated upon, but the developer wanted to inform fans about the console availability.

Xbox did not accept Christmas Massacre into its ID program, and Nintendo decided not to release the game on their platform. This has led to disappointment among fans who have enjoyed Puppet Combo's previous games on these platforms. Neither Microsoft nor Nintendo have commented on the matter as of the last update from the article.

In a note, the developer clarified that a controversial scene depicted in the game takes place in a college setting, not a high school, and involves adult characters.
