About

Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed. Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey. The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

What is happening now

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where one player takes on the role of a killer while others attempt to survive and escape. Originally released in 2017, it has maintained an active player base across PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One through regular content updates and seasonal additions. Recent coverage has focused on the pricing landscape surrounding the game's entry point and DLC chapters on PC. Third-party key resellers have begun offering discounted rates compared to official digital storefronts, allowing players to reduce their initial investment in the base game and chapter bundles. This has drawn attention as an alternative for those looking to access the game's growing roster of killers and survivors without paying standard platform prices.
