We have been investigating cases of distributed denial of services (DDoS) over the last week. We take these reports extremely seriously. We're actively monitoring the situation internally and with our partners to gather as much information as possible and identify trends. 

We are terribly sorry to those who have been affected by these attacks- we understand the impact this has on you. We are taking every appropriate measure to ensure the safety of our players. 

We encourage our players to report any cases of DDoS, as well as any other form of inappropriate or abusive behaviour in the game through Customer Support. In the meantime, we encourage you to stay safe and follow best practices for online safety.

Yesterday, we announced Dead by Daylight’s inclusion in the Epic Games Store catalogue. While we’re thrilled to provide cross-platform progression between Epic, Steam, and Stadia at launch, we also realize this may raise some questions regarding the arrival of cross-progression for Switch, announced last year.

On any platform our goal is always to deliver the best, most consistent cross-progression experience we can that includes everything our players have purchased to date. Due to technical aspects beyond our control, transferring DLC between all platforms has not been possible, significantly impacting that experience. As a result, while we remain dedicated to doing everything we can to resolve the issue, we can no longer provide a clear ETA on when cross-progression will be available on Switch.

We’ll keep you posted with any new updates as we continue working on the matter. We understand a lot of you are looking forward to this feature (we are too!) and we appreciate ...

As with all early builds, there are some bugs and known issues that the team is already working on. Please check our list in the Patch Notes before playing, and leave us your feedback and additional bug reports in the links down below!

We’re back with another Developer Update, a series of posts outlining some of the upcoming changes to Dead by Daylight. You read that title correctly, this is part one; there’s so much to cover this time around that we couldn’t fit it all in one post. (And the writer passed out halfway through typing this.)

Hello, people of the Fog! 

We are currently working on fixes for issues affecting PS4, PS5, Steam with Family Sharing enabled and Stadia with cross progression with Steam. After updating to version 5.2.0 some players might have lost access to one or more DLCs that they own.  

PS4 & PS5 Players 

For Playstation players, there is a potential fix available.  

If you own the DLC product from the platform you are playing on (PS4 DLCs on PS4 & PS5 DLCs on PS5), redownloading the DLC manually, should regain you access to the content. Please refer to this instruction here: https://www.playstation.com/en-ca/support/games/find-download-games-ps-store/...

SKILL-BASED MATCHMAKING 

Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) has been enabled on live servers indefinitely as of 11AM ET. In case you missed it, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions! 

WHAT IS SBMM? 

SBMM is a new type of matchmaking that uses a hidden skill rating instead of ranks to create fairer matches. This rating increases when you do well and decreases when you do poorly. 

For a while now, we...
