Summary

  • Prices for Dead by Daylight DLC on PC are rising to promote cross-progression with console platforms.
  • Players have until July 22 to purchase DLC at the regular price before the increase takes effect.
  • Behaviour Interactive faces backlash from players who believe DLC prices should have been universally lowered.

Behaviour Interactive is raising the prices of Dead by Daylight DLC on PC in an effort to promote cross-progression. For a long time, Dead by Daylight DLC has been cheaper on PC compared to console, but Behaviour plans to put an end to the inconsistency.

This decision comes after Update 8.1.0 introduced Lara Croft to Dead by Daylight as part of the Tomb Raider DLC. Behaviour has also elected to share details about Dead by Daylight's upcoming 2v8 mode, which will pit two Killers against eight Survivors, and cross-progression, a new feature allowing players to sync their progress across all available platforms (excluding the Nintendo Switch) from July 22 onward. That same day, the DLC prices for the PC will rise as part of the influx of big changes.

For a few days, at least, PC players can still snatch up Dead by Daylight' s DLC collection at the regular prices. From July 22, the prices of select Dead by Daylight DLC is rising by $1 to match the other platforms. Behaviour justifies the change by calling it "necessary" for the smooth transition to cross-progression. As part of cross-progression, all currencies, levels, and DLC will be synced across console and PC devices. Certain DLC prices on PC platforms will be adjusted from $6.99 to $7.99 to match the existing console DLC prices.

Dead by Daylight DLC Getting More Expensive

  • Behaviour will be raising the price from $6.99 to $7.99 for the following DLC: All Things Wicked, Sadako Rising, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, Silent Hill, and Dungeons and Dragons.

Many Dead by Daylight players are displeased with the news, with some even suggesting that Behaviour could have universally lowered the prices across all platforms. "What does price have to do with cross-progression? I see it as an excuse to raise the DLC's price," one comment wrote. "Keep in mind it was equally possible to lower the prices universally," another said. And this isn't the first time Behaviour has been on the bad side of its player base. There are numerous occasions where Dead by Daylight fans have been left concerned by changes added to the game, such as last year's rocky PTB for Sadako Rising.

Behaviour has offered a few days of notice for PC players to grab the DLC at the regular price, so Dead by Daylight fans are encouraged to do so. In other news, the Dead By Daylight spin-off game, The Casting of Frank Stone, finally has a release date of September 3, 2024.
