As asymmetrical multiplayer games go, Dead by Daylight is among the best thanks to its constant stream of updates. New characters are added every few months, there are regular in-game events, and players have additional character lore to uncover via challenges. Recently, new game modes have made Dead by Daylight even more appealing, from the random perk Chaos Shuffle mode, to the new 2v8 modifier that doubles the fun.

If you're a survivor, Dead By Daylight can be scary enough as it is: you creep around the corridors of Lerys Institute just to be surprised by a stalking Myers. You're peacefully trying to complete a generator when a Blight rushes across the map to seal your doom. Now imagine stepping into one of The Trapper's bear traps as you're being chased by The Nurse, or being body blocked by an invisible Wraith as you're running from The Huntress and her hatchets. That's DBD's 2V8 mode, and I spoke to Behaviour about how it all works.

Dead by Daylight has attracted an enormous audience since its original 2016 launch. Next to horror multiplayer games like Left 4 Dead 2, Hunt Showdown, and GTFO, DBD stands out for the sheer wealth of licensed characters and new maps it's added in over the years. Now, despite already enjoying a consistently healthy player count, DBD is providing a free weekend on Steam to grab even more attention alongside the introduction of its new, limited time 2v8 game mode.
