Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive’s 4v1 asymmetric horror game, is listed on the official Steam store page (app ID 381210). The page confirms Behaviour Interactive as both developer and publisher, and classifies the title under three Steam genres: Action, Horror, and Multiplayer. Its official Steam release date is June 14, 2016.
Core Gameplay Design
The store page outlines the game’s signature asymmetric multiplayer structure: each match pairs one Killer player against four Survivor players, for a total of 5 participants per trial. Survivors collaborate to complete map-specific objectives and escape the trial, while the Killer works to prevent all Survivor escapes. This 4v1 format is explicitly called a core design pillar in the store page’s official feature list.
Available Downloadable Content (DLC)
The official listing includes the base Dead by Daylight game for purchase, plus a full DLC catalog split into three distinct categories, per the store page’s product breakdown. Character chapters add new playable Killers and Survivors to the roster. Cosmetic collections include custom outfits and accessories for existing playable characters. Event passes grant access to limited-time seasonal content released throughout the year.
One listed character chapter is The Halloween Chapter, which adds 1 new Killer (Michael Myers) and 1 new Survivor (Laurie Strode) to the game. The full DLC catalog, including all character chapters, cosmetic collections, and event passes, is accessible via the DLC tab on the store page.
