Dead by Daylight Mobile is set to close its doors on March 20, 2025. The game will be pulled from the Google Play Store and the App Store starting January 16, 2025. Players transitioning to the PC or console versions on systems like PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S can expect to receive a special welcome pack filled with exclusive rewards.
Prepare for some changes as NetEase Games, the publisher behind Dead by Daylight Mobile, has announced a shift in focus away from the mobile version of this asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror experience. Players will still have access on their mobile devices until mid-March 2025. However, post that date, Dead by Daylight will remain available for enthusiastic players on other platforms like PC and consoles.
Initially launched exclusively for PC in June 2016, Dead by Daylight rapidly made its mark across multiple platforms throughout its ongoing journey of over eight years. Its mobile version, which debuted in April 2020, saw an explosive start, amassing over a million downloads in just 48 hours on launch.
Despite its success, the mobile version’s run will wrap up after nearly five years and the introduction of several memorable killers and survivors. If you’re keen to experience it before the deadline or relive the excitement one last time, make sure to download or reinstall it before January 16, 2025, as it will be unavailable from digital stores thereafter.
As the curtains close on the mobile version, Behaviour Interactive, the developer, shows no signs of halting the flow of fresh content for Dead by Daylight on PC and consoles. Players making the switch from mobile to other platforms are in for a treat with a welcome package up for grabs.
This package includes 500,000 Bloodpoints and 2,250 Iridescent Shards as a standard offering. Depending on past in-game purchases, players can earn extra Iridescent Shards and Auric Cells, reaching up to 5,000 Auric Cells and 108,000 Shards for those who spent $200 or more. Additionally, up to two million extra Bloodpoints can be rewarded based on accumulated experience. To claim these, players need to log into their Dead by Daylight Mobile and Behaviour Interactive accounts, choosing the desired platform for rewards application before the cutoff date in March.
Even if you’re already enjoying Dead by Daylight on mobile alongside another platform, rest assured you can still access this welcome package, a gesture of gratitude for your dedication.
Dead by Daylight offers a gripping multiplayer horror experience where you either become a ruthless Killer or one of the four Survivors striving to escape dire fates. Whether you plan your escape or indulge in the thrill of the hunt, this game promises an unforgettable, spine-chilling adventure.
