Dead By Daylight will be a next-gen launch game
The horror game is coming Day One ą·“to PS5 and Xbox Series X

Dead by Daylight has been confirmed as both a 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:PS5 launch game and an 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Xbox Series X launch game. In a špress release this afternoon, developer Behaviour confirmed that the next-gen version of its multiplayer horror game is ready sooner thanā expected.
The release confirmed that the game would appear on 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Xbox Series X on November 10, and would be "available on Day 1 on PlayStation 5," meaning you'll be able to grab it on november 12 in some regions and on November 19 in the rest of the world. Shortly before the official announcement, the game appeared on a list of PS5 launch games in a , which was the firļ·ŗst hint that Dead By Daylight would be a next-gen launch title.
Last we heard, developer Behaviour had told fans that the game was "澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē å岚“ę„询:coming to next-gen consoles in Holšiday 2020," with a graphš·ical overhaul. That made clear that we should expect the game by the end of the year, and well within both consoles' launch windows, but definitely didn't confirm that it would be available on launch day.
It's perfectly possible that Behaviour managed to speed up its development process in time to get the new version ready for the console launches, even in spite of the disruption that many developers have faced this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. It's also worth noting that the studio has previously 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:comšmitted to cross-play and cross-progression for its game, so it's the release date, rathšÆer than the existence of the next-gen versions, that'šs come as a surprise.
