Dead by Daylight Update Adds Back Removed Content

By Tyler Fischer

A new Dead by Daylight update is live on Android, Google Stadia, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X alongside patch notes that reveal and detail everything that Canadian developer Behaviour Interactive has added to and changed with the update. Mostly, the update is a metric ton of bug fixes, but it does restore some content to the game and it does come with a new feature as well, though this feature is in beta.

At the moment of publishing, it's unclear how large the file size of the update is. We know it varies from platform to platform, but we don't the respective sizes. The patch notes below indicate the file size is on the smaller side though. If this is true, then it should be a fairly quick and painless download.

Below, you can check out the aforementioned patch notes in their entirety:
