Gameplay
- As a Survivor
, go in alone or team up with friends to face an unknown threat. Use Items
at hand, Unlocked Abilities and Environmental Objects to outwit the monster and escape from its killing ground. - Set in a procedurally generated World, you'll never know what to expect, what you're facing and how to get away. You will have to make stressful choices under desperate circumstances. Every decision impacts your chances of survival.
- Killers
come from all horror genres, from brutal slashers to terrifying paranormal entities. Master these monsters' unique powers and exploit the knowledge of your “home” to track, hunt down, break and sacrifice your victims before they get a chance to escape to safety. - The asymmetry, procedural factors and unique thinking of human individuals make each Dead by Daylight match an unexpected scenario where the combined behaviour of each player creates a truly terrifying and thrilling narrative.
- Dead by Daylight Characters each have a deep progression and Perks
which can be customised into your own personal strategy. Use your experience, Skills
and Load-Out
to climb up the competitive ladder and you might eventually discover the truth beyond the fog.
Editions
Dead by Daylight comes in several different Editions across the storefronts on various platforms.
The same Edition (in name) may also include different content based on the platform it is being sold on, due to the Standard Edition itself being different across platforms.
The following table sorts the various Editions by platform and in release-order within that.
It provides an overview of the content included with any given Edition.
It should be noted that several of the bundled and some of the special Editions are no longer available due to having been time-limited, with others also only having been available in certain regions of the world.

Cross-Progression
As of 22 July 2024, Dead by Daylight features full Cross-Progression across all platforms, albeit with some minor restrictions remaining on the Nintendo Switch.
Previously, Cross-Progression was only available across the various PC versions of the Game and also between the Google Stadia version and the former.
Stadia Cross-Progression was only available for a brief period of time shortly before the service would be closed permanently, to allow Players to transfer their progression before it would be lost forever.
There was also some Cross-Progression available within a platform (i.e. when upgrading from the PS4 to the PS5 version).
Miscellaneous
Release Trailers
Old Tutorial Videos
Before the implementation of the playable Tutorial Maps, Dead by Daylight featured short Tutorial videos to give new Players an idea of how to play the Game. There were 6 videos: 3 for the Killer and 3 for the Survivors:

|---|---|---|
| Survivor 1: How To Win | Survivor 2: How To Stay Alive | Survivor 3: Help Others |

Voice Actors
- For the majority of the game's lifetime, the Developers at Behaviour Interactive used members of their own team to provide the voice-acting for Killers and Survivors, with many Killers having been voiced by their Art Director: Filip Ivanovic.
- With the release of CHAPTER 11.5: Ash vs Evil Dead, actor Bruce Campbell reprised the role of Ashley J. Williams, his character from the Evil Dead franchise, and again with the release of Tome 15 - Ascension with rift cosmetics which include the possessed puppet: Ashy Slashy.
- Starting with the first Resident Evil franchise release in 2021, CHAPTER 20: Resident Evil™, Behaviour Interactive has collaborated with La Fabrique de Monstres (The Monster Factory), a Canadian voice talent company, on licensed and original characters' voice lines.
- Doug Bradley, the original actor for Elliot Spencer, AKA Pinhead and The Cenobite, reprised his iconic role from the Hellraiser movies to provide his in-game character with his voice with the release of CHAPTER 21: Hellraiser™
- A special mention is reserved for the original John Kramer / Jigsaw actor, Tobin Bell, who reprised his iconic role from the Saw movies to provide his voice to Billy, the Puppet for the Reveal Trailer of Tome X - SAW which features the characters from CHAPTER 7: The SAW™ Chapter
- Nicolas Cage is voiced by the actor himself, released in CHAPTER 28.5: Nicolas Cage, where the actor portrayed his eponymous character with an aspect of being unhinged after being taken by the Entity.
- CHAPTER 30: Chucky brought an addition from the Child's Play film franchise, where the actor Brad Dourif returned to voice the vulgar lines of Charles Lee Ray, AKA The Good Guy or Chucky, and Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany Valentine, AKA The Good Gal, a Legendary Outfit.
Dead by Daylight BETA
This paragraph lists some trivial facts about the Dead by Daylight BETA build that was available to some Content creators and lucky few prior to the Game's original release in June 2016:
Characters
- While all four original Survivors were available to play as, Killers could only play as The Trapper
.
Cosmetics
- Some of the Killer's Cosmetic options did not yet have dedicated icons and used the icon of the Skeleton Key
as a placeholder instead.
Items
- Several Items that would not become available until Patch 1.1.2 were already implemented and functional, but remained locked and hidden.
Levelling
- It was impossible to level past Level 5.
- However, a bug allowed some Players to circumvent this restriction and even prestige.
Locomotion
- When walking on stairs, BETA Survivors would realistically place their feet on the individual steps.
However, this system was scrapped.
Map Offerings
- All Map Offerings with a tremendous modifier were of Very Rare Rarity, compared to the Rare they were changed to after a few Patches.
Maps & Realms
- Despite only having the original The MacMillan Estate Maps available to play on, the BETA already contained the other two Release-Realms, Autohaven Wreckers and Coldwind Farm, as well as several early version of future Maps for other Realms.
- Unreleased Sawmill Map:
- Loading into the Sawmill Map reveals that it uses assets of The Thompson House on a different lay-out.
This Map never made it past early development.
- Loading into the Sawmill Map reveals that it uses assets of The Thompson House on a different lay-out.
- Early Backwater Swamp Maps (CHAPTER 3: Of Flesh and Mud):
- Loading into the Backwater Swamp Maps reveals many missing assets, but also some that never made it to release, such as a large tree with tunnels in-between its massive roots.
- The Pale Rose was nearly finished already.
- Grim Pantry's main-building featured some slightly altered lay-out.
- A Map was intended to feature the cannibal-village from The Hag's Lore and was even modelled and textured by 1.3.1, but never released.
- Early Crotus Prenn Asylum version (CHAPTER 1: The Last Breath Chapter):
- The BETA version was located in Coldwind Farm, which, judging by other unreleased Maps, appears to have been used as a Template-Realm by the Developers.
- The Asylum building featured essentially the same lay-out as it did at release.
- Unreleased Coldwind Farm Map:
- The BETA featured an unreleased Map called "Farm Cross", which was in the shape of large '+', as well as fully modelled and textured.
Curiously, it featured the main Landmarks of several Coldwind Farm Maps, almost as if the Map itself was a compilation.
It featured the Silo (Torment Creek), the Slaughterhouse (Rancid Abattoir), and the Farmhouse (The Thompson House).
- The BETA featured an unreleased Map called "Farm Cross", which was in the shape of large '+', as well as fully modelled and textured.
- Unreleased Sawmill Map:
Prestige
- Prestige Cosmetics were of Ultra Rare Rarity, compared to the Rare they were changed to after the first Bloodweb
Rework.
Teachable Perks
- While Teachable Perks
already existed, hovering above them in the inventory would only mention its Rarity and omit the Character they belong to.

Content Code Names
Dead by Daylight makes use of internal code names to distinguish between and classify different content, usually the Game's numerous DLCs.
All files associated with a specific content release will have a reference to said code name.
This practice originally started during the Development of CHAPTER 6: A Nightmare on Elm Street™, code-named "England", which is a wordplay on the last name of Freddy Krueger's original actor, Robert Englund.
Dead by Daylight Mobile
The Dead by Daylight Mobile port and any data associated with it features a special internal reference: "Atlanta"
- "Atlanta" is the Capital of the State of Georgia in the US and finds its origins in "Atlantic", a reference to the transcontinental Atlantic-Pacific Railroad.
Country Code Names
Starting with the aforementioned "England" Chapter, each successive Chapter, and eventually each Mid-Chapter as well, was named after a random country (with two geographical exceptions in "Atlanta" and "Niagara") following the alphabetical order (albeit with some skipped letters).
This practice continued up to and including the Mid-Chapter following CHAPTER 17: Descend Beyond and the general content of Patch 4.3.0, code-named "Zambia".
Astronomy Code Names
Having exhausted the alphabet with country names upon reaching "Zambia", the Developer switched their idea pool to terms found in astronomy for new Chapters and Mid-Chapters, starting with the code name "Aurora" for CHAPTER 18: A Binding of Kin and the general content Patch 4.4.0.
This practice continued up to and including CHAPTER 30.5: Alan Wake® and the general content of Patch 7.5.0, code-named "Zodiac".
Food Items Code Names
Having again exhausted the alphabet upon reaching "Zodiac", though this time with astronomy terms, the Developer again switched their idea pool for new Chapters and Mid-Chapters, this time to the names of various food items, starting with the code name "ApplePie" for CHAPTER 31: All Things Wicked and the general content of Patch 7.6.0.
This practice continues to this day and is now also extended to temporary Game Modes and Modifiers (i.e. My Little Oni or 2v8).
