This guide should help you navigate the crossplay and cross-progression features in "Dead by Daylight," allowing you to play with friends regardless of their gaming platform or continue your progress seamlessly across different devices. Remember, for the most up-to-date information or specific troubleshooting, checking directly with the game's official channels or community forums can be beneficial.
Enabling Crossplay:
•For All Platforms: Crossplay is generally enabled by default, but you can check or toggle it in the game settings. Go to the 'Options' menu, navigate to the 'Online' section, and ensure the crossplay option is turned on. This allows you to play with friends or match with players from different platforms like PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Adding Friends Across Platforms:
•In the game lobby, look for a "+" icon next to your survivor or near your friends list. This allows you to add friends from different platforms by their specific platform ID or friend code.
Cross-Progression:
•Account Linking: To enjoy cross-progression, you need to link your platform accounts (like Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, etc.) to a Behaviour Interactive account. This can be done via the official Dead by Daylight website or through the game's settings on platforms where available.
•Syncing Progress: After linking, you'll need to sync your progress. This involves logging into your Behaviour account on each platform you play on and following the prompts to sync your game data. Remember, this needs to be done on each platform individually.
•DLC and Purchases: Most DLC and in-game purchases can be shared across platforms except for those made on Nintendo Switch or through family sharing services, which are platform-specific.
Important Notes:
•Mobile Exception: Players on mobile devices cannot play with those on other platforms due to the different nature of the mobile version of the game.
•Cross-Progression Limitations: While cross-progression allows for sharing of progress, there might be exceptions or delays in syncing, especially right after major updates or during high server loads.
General Tips:
•Always ensure your game is updated to the latest version as updates might include fixes or improvements for crossplay and cross-progression features.
•If you encounter issues with crossplay or progression, check the official forums or community posts on platforms like X for the latest troubleshooting advice or known issues.
