The Five Nights At Freddy’s Chapter is now available on Steam!
[p]Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s includes a new Killer, Springtrap. Purchasing this add-on unlocks an exclusive Stack of Pizzas badge and the Vent Crawl banner.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
[p]The Animatronic lived to kill, even when his mechanical costume became his tomb.[/p]
[p]SPECIAL ABILITY: FIRE AXE[/p]
[p]The Animatronic is armed with a Fire Axe that he can throw at Survivors. If the Axe hits a Survivor, the weapon becomes embedded in them, leaving the Survivor vulnerable. Survivors must remove the Axe before they can be healed.[/p]
[p]MAP FEATURE: SECURITY SYSTEM[/p]
[p]At the start of the trial, 7 Security Doors are spawned randomly throughout the map. These doors can be accessed by both Survivors and The Animatronic.[/p]
[p]Each Security Door has a Camera attached to it. Interacting with the Door gives the Survivor access to the Camera View, allowing the Survivor to cycle through every Camera in the map, travel to the Door they are currently looking through, and potentially reveal The Animatronic's aura to the team.[/p]
[p]Using the Cameras and Doors too often will deplete the limited battery power available, forcing Survivors to wait until the system reboots. The Animatronic may travel between Security Doors with or without battery power.[/p]
[p]If The Animatronic enters a Security Door, they may choose to exit from any other Door in the map. Moving to a Door already in use by a Survivor will cause The Animatronic to grab that Survivor.[/p]
New Killer Perks
[p]Help Wanted:[/p]
[p]When you damage a Generator, it becomes Compromised. Only one Generator can be Compromised at a time.[/p]
[p]When the Compromised Generator is completed, your successful basic attack cooldowns are 25/25/25% faster for 40/50/60 seconds.[/p]
[p]Phantom Fear:[/p]
[p]When a Survivor within your Terror Radius looks at you, they scream and you see their aura for 2/2/2 seconds.[/p]
[p]This perk has a 80/70/60 second cooldown.[/p]
[p]Haywire:[/p]
[p]Exit gates switches with at least 80% progress regress at a rate of 80/90/100% of gate opening speed.[/p]
[p]While they are regressing, Survivors see the exit gate lights flicker randomly.[/p]
New Map - Freddy Fazbear's Pizza
[p]The rotting brainchild of a sadistic murderer still stands over the grassy plains. A place of joy for some, and unspeakable terror for others. Do not let the bright colors and parlor tricks deceive you; many have died within these walls, and many more will die still.[/p]
Quality of Life Improvements
[p][/p]
AFK Crow System Update
[p]Survivors are considered AFK when not interacting within the last 10 seconds.[/p]
[p]While AFK, Survivors accrue AFK points, during which crows gradually begin spawning above the Survivor, beginning with 1 and capping at 3.[/p]
[p]AFK points increase more slowly while moving or while in proximity to the Killer.[/p]
[p]After 90 seconds, the Survivor reaches 3 crows and Loud Noises trigger at regular intervals.[/p]
[p]Additionally, the Survivor loses collision with other players for 10 seconds.[/p]
[p]This system is disabled when the Hatch spawns or when End Game Collapse is triggered by any means.[/p]
Bloodweb Spending Improvements
[p]Added an Auto Bloodweb button available after prestiging any one character for the first time, enabling players to automatically progress to a selected character level, Bloodpoints permitting.[/p]
[p]Removed the following pop-ups across all other characters after they have been shown for the first time:[/p]
[p]“The Bloodweb” introductory pop-up[/p]
[p]“Unpredictability” pop-up[/p]
[p]Perk slot unlocks[/p]
Disconnection Penalties
[p]Disconnection Penalties are now based on your last 20 matches played.[/p]
[p]Each disconnect in this set of 20 matches counts as a disconnection penalty point.[/p]
[p]Disconnection penalty points decrease as you play matches without disconnecting (previously decayed at the rate of 1 point per day).[/p]
Gamma Setting
[p]Upon launch, new gamma calibration popup will be presented to all players.[/p]
[p]This visual setting can be accessed at all times via the Settings menu, under the Graphics tab.[/p]
"Going Next" Prevention
[p]Added a system to detect Survivors who intentionally die early in the match.[/p]
[p]When a Survivor is determined to be doing this, they receive a disconnection penalty and lose one full grade.[/p]
[p]The Attempt Unhook ability is now only available in the following circumstances:[/p]
[p]Two Survivors remain in the Trial.[/p]
[p]A Survivor's Luck is increased with an Offering.[/p]
[p]A Survivor has equipped the Slippery Meat or Up the Ante perk.[/p]
[p]When more than two Survivors remain, they may struggle while on a hook, but with no chance of escape or penalty for failure.[/p]
[p]Letting two struggle skill checks pass without any input will no longer instantly kill you.[/p]
[p]The Abandoned score event (given to Survivors when a teammate disconnects) is now also granted when a Survivor gives up via this system.[/p]
[p]Increased the Abandoned score event to 2,000 Bloodpoints (was 600).[/p]
Mori Update
[p]Near the end of a Trial, the Killer can now activate a Mori when 2 Survivors are alive and the following conditions occur simultaneously (up from 1 Survivor alive):[/p]
[p]1 Survivor is Hooked and in the Struggle Phase[/p]
[p]1 Survivor is in the Dying State[/p]
[p]When the above criteria are met, starting a Mori on a Survivor will now immediately start the Sacrifice of remaining Hooked Survivors in the Struggle Phase.[/p]
[p]Dev note: The change means that you do not need to wait for the hooked Survivor to be Sacrificed to be able to trigger a Mori. Performing a Mori with a single Survivor remaining will continue to function as it did before.[/p]
Offerings Updates
[p]All Realm/Map offerings now grant a flat 20% chance to be sent the associated Realm/Map.[/p]
[p]Duplicate Realm & Map offerings no longer stack.[/p]
[p]Most gameplay-altering offerings are now treated as secret during the loading screen reveal.[/p]
Spawn Rules
[p]Survivors now spawn within 12m of each other by default, when possible.[/p]
[p]Survivors now spawn on the same floor as each other by default, when possible.[/p]
[p]The Survivor offering, Shroud of Binding, has been replaced with a new offering, the Shroud of Separation. Its new effect causes Survivors to spawn apart from one another.[/p]
[p]Any owned Shrouds of Binding are converted to Shrouds of Separation.[/p]
[p]The Killer offering, Shroud of Separation, has been replaced with a new offering, the Shroud of Vanishing. Its new effect causes all Survivor spawn offerings to be rejected by The Entity.[/p]
[p]Any owned Shrouds of Separation are converted to Shrouds of Vanishing.[/p]
Spectator Mode
[p]Increased spectator slots in Custom Game to 5.[/p]
[p]Hotkeys have been assigned in Spectator Mode to make changing between players easier.[/p]
[p]Looping between players using the top bar while in Spectator Mode can now be done via hotkey.[/p]
[p]Added controller support for the above improvements.[/p]
Voiceover Language Setting
[p]"Voice Language" is a new setting added under the General tab.[/p]
[p]French can now be chosen for voiceovers on select characters:[/p]
[p]Sable Ward, Gabriel Soma, The Good Guy, The Good Gal, Ellen Ripley & Rain are now available.[/p]
Performance
[p]Improved optimization at game launch to reduce instances of stuttering in-game.[/p]

9.0.0 | PTB Patch Notes
Important
Progress and save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers on 20 May 2025. Please note that players will be able to progress for the duration of the PTB, but none of that progress will make it back to the Live version of the game. Players will once again receive 12,500 Auric Cells on the PTB to explore Outfits and Characters in the Store. Both Auric Cells and purchases made on the PTB Build will not transfer to the Live Build.
Content
New Killer - The Animatronic
KILLER POWER: FAZBEAR'S FRIGHT
The Animatronic lived to kill, even when his mechanical costume became his tomb.
SPECIAL ABILITY: FIRE AXE
The Animatronic is armed with a Fire Axe that he can throw at Survivors. If the Axe hits a Survivor, the weapon becomes embedded in them, leaving the Survivor vulnerable. Survivors must remove the Axe before they can be healed.
MAP FEATURE: SECURITY SYSTEM
At the start of the trial, 7 Security Doors are spawned randomly throughout the map. These doors can be accessed by both Survivors and The Animatronic.
Each Security Door has a Camera attached to it. Interacting with the Door gives the Survivor access to the Camera View, allowing the Survivor to cycle through every Camera in the map, travel to the Door they are currently looking through, and potentially reveal The Animatronic's aura to the team.
Using the Cameras and Doors too often will deplete the limited battery power available, forcing Survivors to wait until the system reboots. The Animatronic may travel between Security Doors with or without battery power.
If The Animatronic enters a Security Door, they may choose to exit from any other Door in the map. Moving to a Door already in use by a Survivor will cause The Animatronic to grab that Survivor.
New Killer Perks
Help Wanted:
When you damage a generator, it becomes compromised: When the compromised generator is completed, your successful basic attack cooldowns are 25/25/25% faster for 40/50/60 seconds.
Phantom Fear:
When a Survivor within your Terror Radius looks at you, they scream and you see their aura for 2/2/2 seconds. This perk has a 80/70/60 second cooldown.
Haywire:
Exit gates switches with at least 50% progress regress at a rate of 40/45/50% of gate opening speed. While they are regressing, Survivors see the exit gate lights flicker randomly.
New Map - Freddy Fazbear's Pizza
The rotting brainchild of a sadistic murderer still stands over the grassy plains. A place of joy for some, and unspeakable terror for others. Do not let the bright colors and parlor tricks deceive you; many have died within these walls, and many more will die still.
Quality of Life Improvements
AFK Crow System Update
Survivors are considered AFK when not interacting within the last 10 seconds.
While AFK, Survivors accrue AFK points, during which crows gradually begin spawning above the Survivor, beginning with 1 and capping at 3.
AFK points increase more slowly while moving or while in proximity to the Killer.
After 90 seconds, the Survivor reaches 3 crows and Loud Noises trigger at regular intervals.
Additionally, the Survivor loses collision with other players for 10 seconds.
Completing interactions removes AFK points.
Crows are removed as AFK points decrease.
This system is disabled when the Hatch spawns or when End Game Collapse is triggered by any means.
Bloodweb Spending Improvements
Added an Auto Bloodweb button available after prestiging any one character for the first time, enabling players to automatically progress to a selected character level, Bloodpoints permitting.
Removed the following pop-ups across all other characters after they have been shown for the first time: The Bloodweb” introductory pop-up “Unpredictability” pop-up Perk slot unlocks
Disconnection Penalties (not in PTB)
Disconnection Penalties are now based on your last 20 matches played.
Each disconnect in this set of 20 matches counts as a disconnection penalty point.
Disconnection penalty points decrease as you play matches without disconnecting (previously decayed at the rate of 1 point per day).
Gamma Setting
Upon launch, new gamma calibration popup will be presented to all players.
This visual setting can be accessed at all times via the Settings menu, under the Graphics tab.
"Going Next" Prevention
Added a system to detect Survivors who intentionally die early in the match.
When a Survivor is determined to be doing this, they receive a disconnection penalty and lose one full grade. Note: This is disabled during the PTB.
The Attempt Unhook ability is now only available in the following circumstances:
Two Survivors remain in the Trial.
A Survivor's Luck is increased with an Offering.
A Survivor has equipped the Slippery Meat or Up the Ante perk.
When more than two Survivors remain, they may struggle while on a hook, but with no chance of escape or penalty for failure.
Letting two struggle skill checks pass without any input will no longer instantly kill you.
The Abandoned score event (given to Survivors when a teammate disconnects) is now also granted when a Survivor gives up via this system.
Increased the Abandoned score event to 2,000 Bloodpoints (was 600).
Mori Update
Near the end of a Trial, the Killer can now activate a Mori when at least 2 Survivors are alive (up from 1 Survivor alive): 1 Survivor must be alive (Healthy, Injured or Dying) 1 Survivor or more must be Hooked, and on Struggle Phase
When the above criteria are met, starting a Mori on a Survivor will now immediately start the Sacrifice of remaining Hooked Survivors in the Struggle Phase.
Dev note: The change means that you do not need to wait for the hooked Survivor to be Sacrificed to be able to trigger a Mori.
Offerings Updates
All Realm/Map offerings now grant a flat 20% chance to be sent the associated Realm/Map.
Duplicate Realm & Map offerings no longer stack.
Most gameplay-altering offerings are now treated as secret during the loading screen reveal.
Spawn Rules
Survivors now spawn within 12m of each other by default, when possible.
Survivors now spawn on the same floor as each other by default, when possible.
The Survivor offering, Shroud of Binding, has been replaced with a new offering, the Shroud of Separation. Its new effect causes Survivors to spawn apart from one another.
Any owned Shrouds of Binding are converted to Shrouds of Separation.
The Killer offering, Shroud of Separation, has been replaced with a new offering, the Shroud of Vanishing. Its new effect causes all Survivor spawn offerings to be rejected by The Entity.
Any owned Shrouds of Separation are converted to Shrouds of Vanishing.
Spectator Mode
Increased spectator slots in Custom Game to 5.
Hotkeys have been assigned in Spectator Mode to make changing between players easier.
Looping between players using the top bar while in Spectator Mode can now be done via hotkey.
Added controller support for the above improvements.
Voiceover Language Setting
"Voice Language" is a new setting added under the General tab.
French can now be chosen for voiceovers on select characters: Sable Ward, Gabriel Soma, The Good Guy, The Good Gal, Ellen Ripley & Rain are now available.

Developer Update | May 2025
The 9.0.0 Update will be here before we know it, so it's time once again to take a look at the notable gameplay changes you can expect from tomorrow’s Public Test Build. As with last time, stay tuned for the PTB Patch Notes where we’ll share the precise values that are changing for each of the topics below! Read on for all the details:
NEW FEATURES
Added a system to identify whether a Survivor’s sacrifice is an intentional attempt at “going next”.
If a player is identified as intentionally “going next”, they will receive a Disconnection Penalty Point.
Removed the option to self-unhook on first hook stage unless they have one of the following equipped: o Slippery Meat perk o Up the Ante perk o A Luck offering
Added “unlocks the ability to attempt to unhook yourself” effect to Luck offerings.
Survivors are no longer instantly killed after two struggle skill checks pass without any input.
Please note: The Disconnection Penalty system is not active on the PTB, so certain facets of the “going next” penalization will not be available to test.
DEV NOTE: We’ve made the above changes in order to tackle “going next” from two directions: penalizing repeat offenses and limiting exploitability of self-unhooks. By restricting early-match self-unhooks to specific perks and offerings, this still allows players to work it into their strategy while limiting cases where it’s used in bad faith.
Updated AFK detection system.
Reminder: If a player is considered AFK crows will gradually begin spawning above the Survivor, beginning with 1 and capping at 3.
Once a Survivor has 3 crows following them, they lose collision with other players.
DEV NOTE: With this updated system, we’ve adjusted how the game identifies players who have stopped contributing to a match. While the crow system largely functions as before, an additional effect at 3 crows prevents Survivors from intentionally griefing teammates with body blocking, while also preventing the Killer from holding Survivors hostage.
Added an Auto Bloodweb button which allows you to set how many levels you want to automatically progress through, Bloodpoints permitting.
DEV NOTE: It’s no secret this is one of the most common community requests, so we’re excited to put this in your hands! Even better, we’ve removed some recurring pop-ups after you see them once to make your time in the Bloodweb even more snappy.
Updated the Mori system so that it can now also be activated when 2 or more Survivors are dead, and the following occurs: o The second-last Survivor is Hooked and on Struggle Phase o The final Survivor is in one of the following states (Healthy, Injured or Dying)
DEV NOTE: With this change, Killers will be able to activate their Mori earlier – so long as victory is assured – removing the need to wait for any hooked Survivors to be Sacrificed. This will let players on both sides get back into the action sooner.
Map offerings grant a flat percentage chance of being sent to the associated Realm. This chance is no longer a guarantee.
Map offerings no longer stack their effects.
Map and gameplay-affecting offerings are treated as secret during the loading screen reveal.
DEV NOTE: By making map and gameplay-affecting offerings secret on loading screens, our intention is to preserve the element of surprise, preventing the opposing role from starting the match with knowledge of your strategy.
Adjusted the following spawn rules: o Survivors spawn as close together as possible o Survivors spawn on the same floor (where applicable) o The Killer will not spawn at the center of small maps
Changed the name of Shroud of Separation to Shroud of Vanishing and changed its effect to nullify offerings that change Survivor spawn locations.
Changed the name of Shroud of Binding to Shroud of Separation and changed its effect to spawn Survivors apart from one another.
DEV NOTE: With these changes to spawn rules, players will find their spawn locations to be more consistent when not affected by offerings.
We also know certain Shroud offerings have historically worked counter to what each role might want, so we’ve adjusted them to better line up with these expectations.
Added a Video category to the Graphics Settings menu.
Added a Brightness setting to the Video category to adjust Gamma.
DEV NOTE: Dead by Daylight is a game that relies heavily on the play between light and dark, which can be difficult to strike a balance between when playing on console, given the more limited options available. To help alleviate this, we’ve added a setting for adjusting Gamma, which gives players more control over how light and dark elements are displayed.
Lowest Setting
Highest Setting
Increased spectator slots in Custom Game to 5.
Added hotkey inputs to Custom Game spectating to quickly switch the view to a specific character and cycle through character views one-by-one.
Added controller support for the above improvements.
DEV NOTE: Not only is Custom Match a way to easily play with friends, it’s also a valuable tool for coordinating tournament play. To help streamline its use in these environments, we’ve added hotkey support to various methods of view-switching to make casting on-the-fly even easier. Plus, with increased spectator slots, tournament organizers have the option to give viewers visibility of all players in a match at once.
Even better, we have more improvements coming to Custom Match in a future update. Stay tuned for more on this!
KILLER UPDATES
Adjusted several Add-Ons.
DEV NOTE: Overall, The Artist is in a solid place balance-wise and boasts useful add-ons that meaningfully change how her kit works. To encourage even more pick variety among these, we’ve adjusted her top and bottom-performing add-ons to bring their usefulness more in line with her other options.
Stay tuned for the patch notes for specific details on these changes.
All of The Lich’s Spells are available at the start of a Trial.
Reduced cooldowns of all Spells.
Dispelling Sphere's projectile moves quickly when first cast and slows down over time.
Increased the Killer Instinct duration once Survivors exit Dispelling Sphere.
Increased the attack cooldown period after Fly ends.
Increased the duration and movement speed of Fly.
Adjusted Mage Hand hold time to make it consistent for both Killers and Survivors, resolving a known bug.
Increased the effects of Magic Items when casting the associated Spells.
Adjusted several Add-Ons.
DEV NOTE: For The Lich, much of his power focuses on providing utility over reliably injuring Survivors. We’ve adjusted his four Spells to increase the frequency with which they can be used to ensure there’s more spell-slinging, while quality-of-life adjustments help make these Spells feel smoother to use.
On the Survivor side of things, we also wanted to ensure Magic Items feel like more viable options for countering each Spell, so we’ve buffed them slightly.
PERK UPDATES
Updated Call of Brine
Updated Dark Devotion
Updated Hex: Retribution
Updated Machine Learning
Updated Superior Anatomy
Updated Terminus
Updated Thrilling Tremors
Updated THWACK!
DEV NOTE: We’ve adjusted values on the above perks which boasted lower pick and kill rates to introduce small buffs to increase their viability. Stay tuned for the patch notes for specific details on these value changes.
Updated Botany Knowledge
Updated Champion of Light
Updated Counterforce
Updated Desperate Measures
Updated Empathic Connection
Updated Exultation
Updated Light-Footed
DEV NOTE: Similar to the above, we updated values on some perks with lower performance, introducing small buffs. We’ll share the exact values in the coming patch notes.
Until next time... The Dead by Daylight Team

The Steady Pulse Chapter is now available on Steam!

The new Survivor is Orela Rose
When Orela Rose’s best friend Emily died in a tragic accident, she dropped out of college to become an EMT. One day, she saved the life of a billionaire, who gratefully funded her dream project – a thematic dining experience called Screams in the Dark, inspired by the work of horror scribe Cliff Barra. Some believed his stories to be cursed, whisking readers into a strange black fog. Orela laughed off such superstitions – that is, until the Fog came creeping through her door.
