The 1v4 multiplayer horrorshow Dead By Daylight is getting a new look, developers Behaviour have revealed, with a big graphical overhaul coming across a series of free updates. They’re redrawing textures, rebuilding buildings, relighting lighting, tweaking animations, and generally making maps look more than actual places than the current loose scatterings and assemblies of garbage. It’s looking pretty nice, as you can see in this before/after trailer.



Developer Behaviour Interactive has given a good old yank on its update deployment lever for asynchronous multiplayer horror hit Dead by Daylight, unleashing its previously promised cross-play support for PC and consoles.
Cross-play is available now on Steam, the Microsoft Store, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch (but not mobile devices), meaning players across all supported versions can leap into the same matchmaking pool. As Behaviour's FAQ explains, though, those who'd rather opt of cross-play can do so - although this may increase the length of time it takes to find a game.
Dead by Daylight's latest update also introduces a unified friends list for consoles and PC (Behaviour's calling this its "Cross-Friends" feature), meaning it's possible to team up with pals regardless of their preferred platform. It's worth noting, however, that there's no in-game chat support on consoles, so you'll need to do your communicating the old-fashioned way.
August is a weird month. It can have the hottest days of the year, while simultaneously starting to give everyone odd autumnal vibes. I’m the sort of person that gets to August and says “hm, yes, Halloween is soon”. So, what better game for fine summer’s day than Dead By Daylight? Behaviour Interactive’s 1v4 horror game added cross-platform multiplayer today, so now PC and console peeps will be able to join together for murderous shenanigans.
