About Dead by Daylight

Each match pits four Survivors against one Killer. Survivors play in third person and see more of their surroundings. The Killer plays in first person and focuses on the chase. Survivors win by escaping the killing ground without being caught, and the Killer wins by hunting them down.

The levels are procedurally generated, so no two matches play out the same way. Killers range from slashers to paranormal entities, and each has a unique power. Survivors and Killers both have their own progression systems, with plenty of items to customize to suit your strategy.

• 4 vs 1 online matches
• Survivors can work as a team or go it alone
• Cross-platform multiplayer, as listed on Steam

Which edition should I choose?

• Standard Edition: the base game. This is the edition for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Switch, and it is also available for PC.
