Does Dead by Daylight have crossplay?

Dead by Daylight supports crossplay across all platforms, making this multiplayer title more desirable to check out with friends.

Furthermore, this game’s crossplay works between PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and even the Nintendo Switch. It’s similar to Fortnite‘s amazing crossplay system.

How to connect with your friends

To connect, boot up the Friends menu by clicking the icon with two silhouettes on the bottom left of the main menu. Then, look to the top left of the screen. It will show your Dead by Daylight username and code next to it. Copy that info and pass it on to friends so they can easily begin a lobby with you.

If you want to add a friend from a different console, ask for that same info and then select the symbol on the top right of the menu that has a silhouette and a + sign. Input those details, and once your friend is added, you can invite them to your lobby like any other user.

Despite being almost a decade old, Dead by Daylight is just as popular as ever. There are many killers to play as, and you can flee from them as Stranger Things and Resident Evil characters. Even Nicolas Cage is a survivor with his unique skills on offer.
