Dead by Daylight next-gen upgrades confirmed

Dead by Daylight next-gen upgrades — and a new content update itself — were the focus of a new update from developer Behaviour Interactive.

First, Behaviour confirmed that a version of the popular asymetrical multiplayer game will be available on Xbox Series X and PS5, and that owners of the game on current-gen platforms will receive a free upgrade.

“We gave a lot of attention to the lighting to make the experience of roaming these maps more realistic and engrossing,” Behaviour said of the upgrade. “Individual rooms will now be more distinct, with each serving a specific function.

“This allows players to better orient themselves in a Trial, while also filling the maps with environmental storytelling details for you to discover. On top of that, the team has also made some significant changes to both the visuals and interaction animations of Generators and Chests.”

Next, Behaviour detailed The Realm Beyond, a new content update.

“Throughout the year, expect big and impactful visual updates as part of Dead by Daylight’s The Realm Beyond. As part of The Realm Beyond project, and as players and fans inch closer to Dead by Daylight’s 5th Anniversary in 2021, the game will continue to look and feel better than ever with new content drops released with our regularly scheduled updates.

Take a look below.

Dead by Daylight is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch and Stadia where available. It will head to Xbox Series X and PS5 soon.
