Elaborating on the coming additions to Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive disclosed that the online-focused project would be expecting a cross-play patch later on. In addition to bridging platforms, the game was also told to be inheriting a graphical overhaul to align with the appearance most games are associated with for the current generation. On the matters of cross-platform play, the firm did not spare how it would approach the feature for later on.

Howbeit, Behavious Interactive in a new blog post abruptly announced today that cross-play is available for all systems. That includes Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and both PC iterations (Steam & Windows 10).
