Dead by Daylight Turns 10 as Behaviour Says the Horror Hit Has “At Least” Another Decade

Behaviour credits its longevity to growing a solid core experience instead of launching as a full live-service product.

Overview

  • Developers told PC Gamer at GDC that they see the game continuing for at least another 10 years, with details to be saved for anniversary reveals.
  • Behaviour is planning its first in-person 10th‑anniversary celebration in Montreal in June, where it says it will share surprises.
  • At the time of PC Gamer’s reporting, roughly 50,000 players were active on Steam, with the game also available on multiple consoles.
  • GamesRadar+ recently noted an all‑time peak of 120,717 concurrent players, highlighting sustained interest years after launch.
  • Monetization was added gradually, with an in‑game store arriving in year three and a battle pass in year four, alongside community building and high‑profile collaborations.
