Dead by Daylight players have plenty of reasons to jump back into the horror game this month, as Behaviour Interactive is celebrating the title’s 10th anniversary with a limited-time free play event, new content, and several major updates planned for the future.
Dead by Daylight Is Free to Play Until June 22
From June 16 through June 22, Dead by Daylight is available to play for free on Steam. Players can access the complete experience during this period without purchasing the game, although the offer is only temporary. Once the event ends, a copy of the game will be required to continue playing.
The free week gives newcomers a chance to experience the popular asymmetrical horror title that pits four Survivors against a single Killer. Over the past decade, the formula has helped Dead by Daylight become one of the most recognizable multiplayer horror games, earning more than 900,000 user reviews on Steam and maintaining a positive reception from players.
10th Anniversary Rewards Available
Behaviour Interactive officially celebrated Dead by Daylight’s tenth anniversary on June 14. As part of the festivities, players can claim a special promotional code that rewards a massive 10 million Bloodpoints.
Those joining during the free event can still take advantage of the reward, making it easier to unlock perks, characters, and upgrades.
Jason Chapter Arrives
June has also seen the release of the highly anticipated Jason chapter, inspired by the legendary Friday the 13th franchise. The addition brings another iconic horror presence to the game’s growing roster and continues Behaviour’s tradition of collaborating with famous franchises.
Players interested in purchasing the game after trying it can also benefit from a 60% discount, reducing the base game’s price to $7.99. The promotion remains available until June 25, giving players a few extra days after the free event concludes to decide whether they want to continue their journey.
More Content Planned for 2026
Behaviour Interactive has no plans to slow down. Several content updates are still scheduled for the remainder of 2026.
Among the upcoming additions are collaborations with Scooby-Doo and Silent Hill, while a new Survivor named Shane Wiigwaas is expected to arrive on June 25. These updates will continue expanding the game’s already massive collection of characters and crossover content.
Major Visual Upgrade Coming in 2027
Looking ahead, Behaviour Interactive is preparing a significant graphical overhaul for 2027. The update aims to bring Dead by Daylight closer to modern current-generation visual standards and ensure the game remains competitive as it enters its second decade.
With new chapters, crossover events, and technical improvements on the horizon, Dead by Daylight appears set to continue its long-running success for years to come.
For anyone curious about the game, the current free week offers an ideal opportunity to experience everything the title has to offer before deciding whether to purchase it.
