Dead by Daylight Blows Past 70 Million Players, Promises Big 10th Anniversary Reveals

Dead by Daylight isn't just surviving; it's thriving. Behaviour Interactive just announced the horror juggernaut has surpassed 70 million players worldwide. This staggering figure comes as the game celebrates its 10th anniversary, still seeing incredible growth with a 50% revenue increase in the last year alone. For a live-service title to not just endure a decade but actively expand its player base at this rate is truly remarkable.
To mark the milestone, over 3,000 dedicated fans are converging on Montreal this weekend for a special in-person event. Behaviour Interactive promises a slew of "highly anticipated announcements," including new characters, exciting collaborations, and other surprises. It’s what fans have been waiting for, especially given Dead by Daylight's reputation for iconic crossovers with franchises like Alien, Resident Evil, and Stranger Things.
The event, which includes cosplay showcases and developer panels, culminates in a livestream. Fans worldwide can tune in to catch all the major reveals. Dead by Daylight pioneered the asymmetric multiplayer horror genre when it launched in 2016. Its continued success, far beyond initial expectations, solidifies its place as a horror gaming phenomenon.
