Dead by Daylight is getting a 'massive' graphical overhaul starting next week

Dead by Daylight's developers are industriously anticipating the launch of the next console generation, and that's good news for PC players. Developer Behaviour Interactive plans to release Dead by Daylight on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, and that's going to mean a major graphical overhaul for the PC edition of the game.

The graphics overhaul is going to be available on all platforms, not just high-end PCs and next gen consoles. "The ultimate goal is to improve the immersion tenfold, making the environments as realistic as a scary, disturbing nightmare", Behaviour says in a press statement released today. "The lighting and VFX will be vastly upgraded, as well as the modeling, textures, and animations. More props will be added to the maps, and proper functions will be given to rooms to make them more identifiable."

Dead by Daylight players will start seeing the first bits of the update start trickling into the game soon. Next week's Dead by Daylight patch will include enhanced versions of some of the game's common assets like lockers and generators, with more added every six weeks.

[h3]GRAPHICAL UPDATE[/h3]
Many in-game objects in Dead By Daylight haven't been changed significantly since the game's launch. As part of our ongoing effort to enhance the game's visuals, many of these objects got visual updates in this patch to bring them closer to our long-term vision for the appearance of the game. Some realms also got visual updates (Yamaoka Estate and Springwood), with more coming later in future patches.

Dead by Daylight gets cross-play and cross-friends this very day

Exciting news, Dead by Daylight fans - cross-play and cross-friends have come to the game. Developer Behaviour Interactive has announced the brand-new features, which will let survivors and killers get together with their pals in-game regardless of platform, arrives this very day.

Earlier this year, DBD producer Stefan Beauchamp-Daniel explained in the horror game's fourth anniversary stream (included below) that, first, "cross-friends" - one of the asymmetric survival game's "most asked-for and requested features - was "finally coming to the game this year". It works via the addition of a "search feature and add friends features", and will let you find your Dead by Daylight pals from other games and "add them directly to your friends list".

"On top of that," the dev continued, the studio was "adding cross-play", with the feature being "part of the base matchmaking experience" in Dead by Daylight. Now, in a press release, the studio has announced that, as of August 13, "these two features will break barriers and allow the entire community to join the world of the Entity no matter what platform they are on".
