Dead by Daylight is a 4v1 online survival horror game. You have two choices when entering a trial, serve The Entity as a murderous psychopath, or attempt to defy the odds and escape with your life as one of four survivors. The game has been around for years, and over time, more and more characters, and killers, have made their way to the title, including legends such as Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jill Valentine, Cheryl Mason, and more.
No matter what killer, or survivor, you choose, you’re going to play this game with other people. So, let’s ask the all-important question, is Dead by Daylight crossplay a thing? The short answer is yes, good thing too, because who wants to be limited in what victims are available to them. Or buddies, but we think playing as a killer is more fun.
Speaking of which, if you’re unsure which maniacal being to play as, we have a Dead by Daylight killers guide detailing their powers, weapons, and perks. We also dive a little into their lore, just in case you’re curious as to why they’re so homicidal. Some have valid reasons. Others are being a bit dramatic if we’re honest. Or, if you’re in the mood for a different kind of scare, you can check out our picks for the best mobile horror games here.
