Get the complete roadmap of Dead by Daylight Quality of Life Initiative 2025, as revealed by Behaviour Interactive.
Behavior Interactive, the developers of the asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight, announced new chapters for the multiplayer online game will be delayed in accordance with their 2025 Quality of Life Roadmap schedule. Eric Pope, the Community Director, and José Ramos, the Executive Producer of Dead by Daylight, recently made this huge announcement, focusing on the quality of life improvements that fans of the horror game have long requested.
The developers plans to delay its major upcoming releases, including Chapters, Rifts, Events Modifiers, and Collections to accommodate this Quality of Life Initiative. The Dead by Daylight 2025 Quality of Life Roadmap splits into two phases.
Dead by Daylight Quality of Life Initiative 2025: Phase 1 Updates (April to June)
The Dead by Daylight Quality of Life Initiative is planned throughout 2025 and is split into two phases. Phase 1 runs from April to June, and the second phase runs from July to December. Behavior Interactive has revealed in-depth details about the Phase 1 updates and improvements.
Gameplay
The developers aim to penalize several unfair and toxic behaviors within the community. Starting by focusing on anti-slugging, where they are working on a new feature called Surrender State. It benefits both survivors and killers in different scenarios.
Another condemned behavior addressed in the update is the ‘Go-Next’, preventing the action of survivors, who deliberately give up to speed the process of getting into their next game.
They also plan to change the way how the AFK Crows works to prevent extreme hiding & body-blocking behavior. Additionally, several changes are planned for Map Offerings, which increases the chance of a specific map appearing by 20% rather than guaranteeing it.
Moreover, the Spawning Rules will be slightly adjusted— where each Survivor will spawn within 12 meters of one another, on the same floor (if applicable), reducing their advantage over map control. Gamma adjustments, a highly-requested feature, are also planned during Phase 1. It allows players to adjust Gamma settings on all platforms.
Quality of Life
In addition to the gameplay changes, Behaviour Interactive is introducing several new quality-of-life features. The introduction of Bulk Bloodpoint Spending, one of the much-requested features, allows players to spend a hefty amount of Bloodpoint with a single click. Additional improvements will focus on the Perks, such as previewing the Perk loadouts while in a lobby, and additional Perk loadout slots.
Furthermore, certain reworks are planned for the Quest system to reduce the grinding and improve the fun. It includes certain reworks to the Challenge system, as well as the Daily Rituals.
