DBD cross progression and crossplay explained

Does Dead by Daylight have cross progression? There are two main questions players ask when a game is available on multiple platforms: "Can I play with friends on other platforms?" and "Can I access my save data on multiple platforms?" Known as crossplay and cross progression, these are two of the most important online features, especially in multiplayer games.

Dead by Daylight is one such game, and if you have ever seen a single post or livestream from the devs, you'll surely know that the many of the comments, even with no relation to the original post, are about the availability of these features in the horror game. So, we take a look right here at the availability of both DBD cross progression and crossplay.

Stats | April 2024

What is that? It’s The Unknown(‘s data). In its debut month, The Unknown climbed to a 64% kill rate and a 10% usage rate.

An average of 5.76 hallucinations were dispelled per match. If you’re having a hard time facing The Unknown, be sure to dispel those hallucinations! Dispelling hallucinations prevents The Unknown from teleporting to them.

As with any new Killer, The Unknown shot to the top of the most popular Killers list. The Hillbilly, meanwhile, has now settled at a respectable 4% usage following his recent update.

After the introduction of the generator regression limit, we kept a close eye on the system to see how it affected both 3 gen (defending 3 generators for extended periods) and regular matches.

With this system in place, the amount of 3 gen matches fell from 10% of all matches to 4.5%. (Criteria: At least 400 seconds between fourth generator being powered and the end of the match.)

As for regular matches, it appears this mechanic rarely comes into play. Only around 1.4% of matches see at least one generator blocked, with an average of 3.5 kicks per match.

Who’s the best zombie killing machine – Survivors, or The Nemesis? The answer is not even close: The Nemesis has punched and whipped near ten times more zombies than Survivors.

Those zombies aren’t going down without a fight, they’ve attacked Survivors over 48 million times, an average of 1.74 per match.

We have a challenge for you: Let’s see how many zombies you can slay! No pressure, but the impending zombie apocalypse depends on it.

Until next time…

Dead by Daylight's new multiplayer horror game Project T is brave enough to ask: What if the survivors had a lot of guns, and also a truck

Midwinter Entertainment's upcoming game, codenamed Project T, is a new take on the Dead by Daylight universe. It swaps out helpless survivors trying to fix generators for gritty trespassers fighting hordes of monsters off with guns, trucks, and just about anything you can get your hands on—it looks more like Left 4 Dead than anything we've seen in Dead by Daylight before...

Dead by Daylight is adding D&D killer Vecna, voiced by Critical Role DM Matthew Mercer, with Castlevania also on the way

After teasing an upcoming chapter inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, Dead by Daylight has revealed its next killer pulled from the pages of the fantasy pen-and-paper RPG: Vecna, long-running mega-baddie and inspiration for the Stranger Things villain. He’ll be voiced by Critical Role dungeon master Matthew Mercer and haunt a new dungeon map, where you’ll be able to do battle as new elf and bard survivors able to roll a literal d20 when they crack open treasure chests.
