Dead by Daylight Mobile is drawing its curtains on March 20, 2025. Before that day arrives, on January 16, 2025, this beloved game will disappear from the Google Play Store and the App Store. However, there’s a silver lining for those keen on continuing their Dead by Daylight experience. Mobile players making the transition to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or Nintendo Switch will find themselves welcomed by a bundle of rewards.
As shifts in focus occur at NetEase Games, the publisher is preparing to bid farewell to the mobile version of the popular asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game. Players will have until mid-March of 2025 to indulge in their mobile hunting expeditions. After that, gameplay will only continue on consoles and PC platforms.
Dead by Daylight first saw the light of day in June 2016, setting its inception roots firmly on PC. Over the years, it has gracefully expanded to various platforms, captivating a wide audience along its path. In April 2020, the mobile adaptation made waves, collecting over a million downloads within just 48 hours of its release as eager players flocked to bring the horror to their handheld devices.
With the mobile game’s chapter nearing its end, those interested in one last sprint at surviving the killers—or hunting the survivors—should act swiftly. By January 16, 2025, the game will bow out of the digital marketplaces, ensuring only existing installations remain functional until the final shutdown in March.
Despite the mobile versions’ impending closure, Behaviour Interactive, the game’s developer, seems determined to continue enriching the PC and console landscapes with regular updates and new content. For those willing to jump from mobile to another platform, there is an enticing offer in the form of a welcome package. This package includes 500,000 Dead by Daylight Bloodpoints and 2,250 of the rare Iridescent Shards. High expenditure on in-game purchases might reward players with up to 5,000 Auric Cells and 108,000 Iridescent Shards, in addition to millions of Bloodpoints, depending on individual gameplay experience.
If any players want to secure these rewards, they’ll need to log into the mobile game and their associated Behaviour Interactive account before the deadline to select their chosen platform. Those juggling play across both mobile and other systems aren’t left out—they too can grab the welcoming rewards, offering a little gratitude for their dedication.
For those unfamiliar, Dead by Daylight is a gripping multiplayer horror game that pits one relentless Killer against four resourceful Survivors. Each gaming session takes players into a chilling world, with the Survivors aiming to restore generators and escape while the Killer uses their unique arsenal to stop them. Whether you team up or brave it alone, expect every encounter under the twisted rule of The Fog to keep you on the edge of your seat, combining competitive tension with genuine fear.
