Does Dead by Daylight support crossplay?

Yes, Dead by Daylight supports crossplay. The developers added the feature in August 2020 and here’s how you can enable it:

1. Launch Dead by Daylight and click on the wheel icon named Options located at the bottom of the screen.
2. Choose Online and then find a setting named ‘Crossplay.’
3. This setting should be enabled by default, but in case it isn’t, select it.

Now, you’ll be able to play and match with literally every other Dead by Daylight player regardless of their platform which certainly helps in faster matchmaking.

Unlike several multiplayer titles, crossplay in Dead by Daylight isn’t unfair. A Keyboard and Mouse setup can be better as a killer owing to faster reaction time. However, as a survivor, you can rely on a controller.

Regardless of the platform you play, Dead by Daylight players can get freebies through redeemable codes. To get these rewards, make sure to check out these Dead by Daylight codes as well.
