Dead by Daylight's Steam concurrent player count surpassed 120,000, breaking its previous record, according to SteamDB. The surge coincides with the game's 10th anniversary, a 60% off Steam sale, and the June 17 implementation of Jason from Friday the 13th.
The PC version of Dead by Daylight hit a new concurrent player peak on Steam, exceeding 120,000 users, as tracked by SteamDB. The milestone comes during the game's 10th anniversary celebration, which began with its June 14, 2016 release. Behaviour Interactive is running a limited-time Steam sale offering the game at 60% off, dropping the regular 1,980 yen price to 792 yen, through June 26. On June 17, the developer added Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th film series as a playable killer. Dead by Daylight's long-running crossovers with horror franchises like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Tokyo Ghoul, and Hellraiser have been a consistent draw for the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game.
