We’ve observed a growing Community concern about matchmaking in recent months. Matchmaking wait times have exceeded our targeted limits and we’ve seen rank disparities fluctuate. In this Status Update, we will go in details on factors impacting the matchmaking, our current matchmaking system and our future solutions.
...This post is a written recap of our Q&A livestream. If you'd prefer to watch the stream itself, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Aoe1H282oY
We will be at PAX East. There will be no booth, but we will have a DBD party.
The Lunar New Year event is on now. Log in this week for some exclusive charms, and next week for some exclusive cosmetics.
A hotfix is coming soon.
Known issues:
Here, you can find a list of any newly reported known issues following today's update. Please be sure to check here before reporting a bug!
We are aware that rank achievements are unlocking incorrectly. Do not worry, you are not at risk of being banned for this.
We are looking into scenarios where Decisive Strike does not stun the killer in spite of succeeding the skill check. If you create a bug report, please be sure to let us know which killer you were playing against when this happened.
Due to a collision change, some totems cannot be cleansed on Badham Preschool maps, and survivors cannot be picked up when next to certain objects. The map and its offering have been disabled until this issue is hotfixed.
Note: This roadmap may be updated over time to include new information as it becomes available. Be sure to check back often. Entries marked (TBC) may be shifted around at any time.

Welcome to our Designer Notes, a series of blogposts presenting the fine details of upcoming design changes. Today, we’ll be going over the first update of 2020, which includes changes to The Doctor, the Gatekeeper Emblem, and Hex: Ruin.
In the next mid-chapter update, we will be changing core elements of The Doctor's gameplay. He's been a polarizing figure since his release, and we felt it was time to revisit his kit with an eye to making it less frustrating to play against him. We will keep his core identity as a Killer who shocks people with electricity and causes them to go insane, suffering several...
Read moreWhat is the relation between Rin and Kazan Yamaoka (Spirit and Oni)?
Kazan is Rin’s great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Kazan attracted the Entity through his dark actions and forever cursed the Yamaoka bloodline.
Why did you decide to give Oni his own chase music? Does it mean that Killers will get own chase music from now on?
This is something we’re looking into. We’ve tried it in the past with The Demogorgon and it was well received. We’d also like to consider creating unique chase music for Killers that are updated. The Doctor will be receiving his own unique chase music when he’s updated, for example.
Can we get the Oni power to work like PC? His movement during demon dash is weaker and his flick is non-existent with max sensitivity.
We have tweaked the rotation limitation on the newer hotfix patch, both PC and console should now have the same limitation. Tweaking the sensitivity or rema...

For the past few months, we have been hard at work on an update to the forums behind the scenes. While our forums have their own charm, we want to bring them up to date and make them more inline with the rest of the game. We've tried out some different themes in the past, and we've taken your feedback from those tests to create something unique to Dead by Daylight. At this point, we're close enough to a final product that we're ready to share the changes with you.
Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress; some artwork is not final, there may be some placeholder stuff lying around, and there are some issues that will be fixed before this goes live. Some of the new features may not be available right away when we first launch this update.
Without further ado, here's a preview of what's to come for the forums.

Since the release of Tome I Level III earlier this week, we have been keeping an eye out for feedback regarding the difficulty of challenges. While we intended for challenges to get gradually more difficult from one Level to the next, between your feedback and playing through the Tome ourselves, this most recent Level ended up being a little harder than we’d like, creating frustration for those who just want to complete the Tome and Rift. With this in mind, we have decided to reduce the requirements for most Level III challenges.
When we originally planned the Tome and Rift, we had designed it in such a way that you would ear...
Read moreStats are back at last! We've taken some time to gather some data and make some fancy graphs for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to let us know if you'd like to see more regular stat releases in the future! Since it has been a while since we last shared stats, these graphs show data from the past three months unless otherwise stated. Please keep in mind that numbers are not everything; there are a whole bunch of factors that could influence these numbers.
Note: If you're having trouble viewing the charts, clicking on them will open a larger version.
Starting off with how frequently killers are played compared to how well they tend to do on average. A 50% kill rate would be the equivalent of two survivors dying and two survivors escaping.

Welcome to the November edition of our Developer Update, a series of posts detailing upcoming changes and our progress on ongoing issues. As always, we’ll start by recapping on previous topics before jumping into future updates.
For a little over a month, dedicated servers have been live on the PC version of the game. Over the course of this test, we have often been asked why the servers were left on without any updates. We’d like to take this opportunity to explain a little more about this test.
First and foremost, we can tweak certain values behind the scenes without requiring a game update. T...

We are still working on getting the update ready for the Nintendo Switch. In testing, we discovered some platform specific issues that prevented us from releasing the mid-chapter at the same time as other platforms. We are currently testing a potential build and hope to release it as soon as we are confident with its performance. The Switch will jump straight to version 3.2.2 when the update goes live.
