Dead by Daylight PC Requirements: The Asymmetric Horror Game Specs
Dead by Daylight is a 4v1 horror survival game by Behaviour Interactive. Here are the PC specs and optimization tips.
What Is Dead by Daylight?
Dead by Daylight (DbD) is an asymmetric multiplayer horror game. Four survivors attempt to repair generators and escape a map while one Killer hunts them. The game has grown steadily since 2016 and regularly collaborates with major horror franchises (Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Stranger Things, etc.).PC Requirements

Unreal Engine 4 Performance Notes
DbD runs on Unreal Engine 4. Performance has improved significantly through dedicated optimization patches but can still be inconsistent on specific maps (indoor maps like The Game are notably more demanding).The Anti-Cheat Situation
Dead by Daylight uses EasyAntiCheat. Cheating has historically been more prevalent on PC than console; the developer has ongoing anti-cheat efforts.Competitive Performance Settings
DbD has a competitive scene ("Dead by Daylight" tournaments). Competitive players use medium-low settings for consistent frame rates, prioritizing survivor hearing audio cues and Killer lunge timing over visual quality.Stop Guessing — Get a Real Fix
