Does Dead By Daylight Have Cross-Progression?

The answer to whether Dead by Daylight has cross-progression is not a simple yes or no.

Yes, the game does have cross-progression, but only between two platforms - Epic Games and Steam.

The game once featured cross-progression on Stadia; however, Google announced that Stadia will be shutting down, meaning that Dead by Daylight will no longer have this cross-progression once Stadia's service ends.

Developers have mentioned in a previous Q&A session that they would like to add cross-progression to more platforms, but a number of struggles hold Behaviour back.

"[Cross-progression] is still something we really want to do," Justin, Dead by Daylight's Product Manager, explained.

"A lot of us have Switches, PS4, PS5, and Xbox. We’d love to be able to play on all of them. It’s just not something that we can promise because it’s not solely our decision."
