Reception[]
The Updated Edition[]
The book's reception is largely mixed. While the Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night pages were filled with misleading errors (all of which can be seen here), another main criticism by fans is that the book contain a big number of stolen fan model renders for the Ultimate Custom Night map's page, as all can be seen here. Scott Cawthon confirmed that he will work with Scholastic to fix them. Scott confirmed that he will fix the errors.
Ultimate Edition[]
- Due to criticism of the old cover of how it had Bonnie's Special Delivery render, the cover was changed to have Freddy Frostbear instead.
Trivia[]
The Original Edition[]
- The very last page features LadyFiszi's artwork of Scrap Baby's silhouette, teasing Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
Updated Edition[]
- On page 165, one of the Security Puppet minigame screenshots was taken from Skype, as noticed by the watermark from the top right corner.
- Due to criticisms, the book was re-released with an updated version. This update fixes almost every notable errors and replaced all of the fan renders from the Ultimate Custom Night map page with pre-existing official icons. However, there are still some errors found, such as Scraptrap's icon reusing Springtrap's. Such errors were later fixed for the book's second re-release.
- One of the screenshots shows the player having 1,000 points, which is impossible to have in-game (because if the player selects the one companion that which grants them this amount of points, XOR will add more animatronics to the night).
- Originally from the book's old edition, the page that quotes William Afton's springlock failure death description from The Silver Eyes was removed.
- The last page features LadyFiszi's artwork of Springtrap from Fazbear Frights: Bunny Call, with a mass of glitching static from his left side.
Ultimate Edition[]
- Unlike the other two Freddy Files books, this version does not feature a teaser at the end related to any new upcoming content.
