Dead by Daylight Mobile

Dead by Daylight brings short, high-intensity rounds to your phone when you want quick multiplayer tension on the go. Also known as Dead by Daylight Mobile on Android, it keeps the core experience intact with compact arenas and matches that fit into short breaks. You can jump in solo or join friends, and each session focuses on clear goals that are easy to follow under pressure. Because it is online-only, a stable connection is required throughout. To get started, download Dead by Daylight and enter your first trial.

Features built for mobile multiplayer

4v1 asymmetrical trials

Dead by Daylight sets one Killer against four Survivors in objective-driven online matches. You choose a side before the round begins and commit to your role for the entire trial. The Killer aims to find, chase, and sacrifice Survivors to The Entity, while Survivors work together or split up to stay alive until the exit opens.

Play with friends or queue solo

You can team up in a party for five-player matches or enter matchmaking alone. Friends can coordinate roles for the next round, while solo players are paired with others for quick sessions. Either way, rounds are designed to start fast and finish within a short window so you can play anywhere.

Licensed Killers and Survivors

The roster includes familiar names from well-known horror series. Play as Leatherface, Michael Myers, SAW’s Amanda Young, Ghost Face, or Pyramid Head, or survive as Laurie Strode, David Tapp, Bill Overbeck, and Cheryl Mason. Availability of specific licensed characters can vary over time, so check the in-game store and events for what is currently offered.

Progression and customization

You earn character levels by playing matches and completing objectives. As you progress, you unlock character-specific perks that change how you move, track, heal, or chase. Cosmetics such as outfits and accessories let you personalize each Killer and Survivor without affecting core gameplay.

Built for on-the-go play

Match flow, arena size, and controls are tuned for short, high-intensity sessions on mobile devices. Maps are randomly generated to alter loops, hiding spots, and item spawns, which keeps repeat sessions fresh. Since all trials are online, a stable internet connection is required from start to finish.

Dead by Daylight crossovers and collections

Dead by Daylight regularly features franchise crossovers and themed Collections that rotate through the in-game store and events. Expect content tied to series like Silent Hill, SAW, Halloween, Scream, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, along with limited-time outfits released in seasonal waves. Some items, characters, or visuals may appear for a limited period or return later, and availability can differ on mobile. For the latest lineup, review the current Collections and event banners in-game.

Dead by Daylight is online-only

All matches are hosted online and use live players for both the Killer and Survivor roles. A reliable connection helps reduce interruptions and supports consistent matchmaking. When playing away from Wi‑Fi, mobile data may be used during downloads and gameplay, so consider your data plan before starting a session.

The roster expands over time through updates and event releases. Each character offers unique perk options that shape your loadout, while cosmetics enable visual variety. Because licensed content can change, the available choices in your region may not always match those shown in global announcements. For accurate comparisons, open each character’s page in the roster screen and review perks and customization options directly in-game.
