We are expending our PC family!

Dead by Daylight is now available on the Windows Store.

Enable crossplay option

Sometime in the next few weeks, PC players will notice a new option labeled “Enable Crossplay”.

When this option is enabled, PC players will be able to match and play against both Steam and Microsoft Store players....

F.A.Q.

Can I use my progress from another platform?

Sadly no, we do not support cross progression for any platform.

Is the Switch cross platform?

No, you will be matched with other Switch players

Is Switch on Dedicated Servers?

Yes, the Nintendo Switch users will use dedicated servers at release. The console itself cannot support hosting a game for 5 players at the time which is why we decided to launch on Dedicated Servers. Any future improvements to the dedicated servers will impact the Nintendo Switch users as well.

What is included in the base game?

The base game includes all original chapters up to The Shattered Bloodline

How do I get the Trapper Switch exclusive?

It is already in your inventory!

Do the Switch players also get the Bloodhunt event?

Yes, you will also have the Bloodhunt event...

• The Demogorgon's Shred special ability now breaks pallets by default. Because of this change, we have re-worked the Red Moss add-on. Please see the changes below.
• Reworked The Demogorgon's Red Moss add-on: Previously, with the Red Moss add-on, The Demogorgon could break pallets using Shred - now this is a default effect of Shred. The new Red Moss add-on reads as follows: Tremendously increases the duration of the Undetectable status effect applied to The Demogorgon when emerging from a portal (for a total of 10 seconds). Tremendously decreases power recovery speed of traversing the Upside Down (recovery now takes 24 seconds).
• The perk Surge now grants the Destruction score event for each affected generator.
• The perk Second Wind will now display ...

New SURVIVOR: Ashley J. Williams

During a weekend at a cabin with friends, Ashley J. Williams uncovered the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (the Book of the Dead) and awoke something dark in the woods. Evil possessed his friends, whom he was forced to kill, and his right hand, which he sawed off.

For the next thirty years, Ash ran from his past, working at a Value Stop department store and seducing women in dive bars. But he screwed up one night while being high, when he read from the Necronomicon to impress a woman. Evil found him once more, wrecking the life ...
