Dead by Daylight, the popular asymmetrical horror game, just hit a new record for concurrent players on Steam, proving it’s still got some serious scares left in it. After 10 years, it’s impressive to see the game reaching new heights, and it’s all thanks to some exciting updates and the addition of horror icon Jason Voorhees.
Behaviour Interactive, the developers behind the game, recently showcased some major visual updates, and it’s clearly paid off. A look at SteamDB shows that Dead by Daylight reached a peak of 125,820 concurrent players. This uptick in players might remind you of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake surge not too long ago. With summer holidays around the corner and more updates promised, these numbers might just keep climbing.
What’s interesting is that this steam success is just a part of the picture. Dead by Daylight is also available on other platforms like the Epic Games Store, Microsoft apps, and consoles including PlayStation and Xbox. And while there’s no native Switch 2 version yet, the game’s cross-platform play ensures everyone can join the chilling fun. It’s a bit like the Roblox’s global reach strategy, keeping everyone connected.
For now, Dead by Daylight seems set to keep expanding rather than making a sequel. So, if you’re a fan, keep an eye out for the upcoming movie and more updates that might just boost player numbers even further!
