Epic Games Store Announcement
"Coming in December, all Dead by Daylight content will be made accessible, including the base game, all past editions as well as all DLCs available at the moment of release."
Is dead by daylight going to be free to play? why bhvr cant give us the details about this?
also: "But that's not all, as cross-platform progression will also be part of that release. As a Dead by Daylight player, with your Behaviour Account"
I just have this account for the forum, I play using steam, and I don't have exacly a bhvr account.

I'm not sure why you'd assume it'd be free to play? The EGS is a store, that's what the S stands for. It's just going to be sold on there as well as on Steam and the Windows Store (lol).

As in, you can access it on the Epic Games Store.
8 -
Yeah, accessible on the EGS to purchase. They're just highlighting that everything is going to the store at once, since sometimes DLCs seem to get added to the EGS separately.

All DLC content is 'accessible' on the Steam store as is - you just have to pay for it to be unlocked. All DLC is technically in DBD as is, and the stores providing 'access' is just a metaphorical locked door: buying the DLC is how you get the key.

I'm just ######### pissed there still isn't anything said about cross progression for console.
It's just ######### irritating at this point, but this should be at least a step towards it HOPEFULLY

hm.....🤯🤔
what

What do you even mean what?
They talked about cross progression in it too, still nothing about console and I'm literally pointing that out.
Okay?
2 -
Imagine paying $$ for Doctor, Hag,Ace or even just DbD lol.
I hope you folks on Epic actually get what us Xbox players got with Gamepass. Considering the gargantuan grind in this game, I couldn't imagine needing to pay an upfront cost for this game.

I play on steam. Gamepass is a miracle in this days

Accesable to buy in the Epic Games store

finna get those DBD fortnite skins
1 -
because they've crafted a reputation as being a free games store in their effort to force and coerce gamers and children into using their barren platform.
3 -
Pretty sure their reputation is for making deals to have things on their platform for a year before they're sold elsewhere, the free games thing is just a bonus.
1 -
I'm certain you're wrong.

I mean. Okay.
Not sure why this tone is necessary.

100 bubbas battle royale when?

If you weren't aware epic has become the future home for blockchain game shenanigans. They are openly anti-consumer evidenced by them admitting they are dev first and backed up by their general operations and horrid customer service. Their launcher is very poorly made and chews up resources while idle. The blatant data theft in the early days shows they can't be trusted.
What makes it worse is all the problems on the platforms BHVR already uses and instead of dedicating time and effort to fixing them they're adding another vastly inferior option to harvest money from the mtx/fomo cesspool fortnite base.
Gone are the days of them pretending to care about the game.

Okay, cool.
What's that got to do with anything going on in this thread, or more importantly, my posts?

I TOLD Y'ALL
IM DONE WITH THIS GAME I HOPE IT DIES
1 -
So why of all things, not NFTs, not the huge buggy chapters, but this make you want to see the game die?
2 -
Be careful bro last time someone posted this there post was deleted
They don't want people to bust them out that they are gonna make it free soon to keep up with vhs because that's going to be free
0 -
BHVR prepare to be removed from Steam after NFT go live...
0 -
You didn't tell anybody anything.
They are giving the game away free for a week, like they do with many other games.
The game is not going free to play.
7 -
Keep telling yourself that buddy whatever helps you sleep at night
0 -
Dude, for real. I remember logging in just for that free weekly game or what ever and never using until the next one came in.
Epic really does love throwing away money.
0 -
Remember free game grab limited time = dealing with cheaters every game for next few years
0 -
I just want to confirm a few things here to clarify the situation a bit.
The game will be free for 1 week only on Epic Games Store, those who get the game within that time will keep it.
The game is not going to go free to play on Epic indefinitely - it's just that week.
@not_Queef was completely correct.
9 -
Came on to post that.
It's advertised as one of next weeks' free games, from 02/12 - 09/12.
They do put quite a lot of good free games on there; I've amassed a library of 225 games on Epic and not paid a penny! :D
2 -
can you share which version it will be (which DLCs are included)?
0 -
Thank you for the clarification!
0 -
It will be the base game - so the same as the standard Steam version.
2 -
Noob question, will you be able to crossplay between Steam and Epic Store?
0 -
you will, by having the Behaviour Account for cross progression
(oops, I have cross progression on my brain today, sorry)...yes crossplay is enabled, same for all platforms (except mobile of course).

Can't wait for Trapper on Fortnite.

Hopefully instead of the global icon (representing a player on another platform) we'll now get platform specific icons. It's always spooky when someone from Windows Store types in chat because you expect them to be a console player without chat (because there is A LOT more players playing on console than the Windows Store).
Now that there'll be a big influx of players via the Epic Games Launcher it'd be nice to know if the player on the other platform can actually see what I'm typing in chat or not. Please BHVR, implement platform specific icons near each player's name :)

When that happenes I will quit this game.
OK I probably wont but I will make false postures that I will.

I unironically want DBD skins in Fortnite, it'd be really funny.
Give Dwight a GUN.

Good news, Dwight, there are haystacks and portapotties you can hide in on that island too, you'll feel right at home!

Imagine further paying to use the internet subscription you are already paying for lol.
Please stop this. At this point, the 3rd biggest argument on this forum is how PC players suck and should be ashamed. And this argument isn't healthy, AT ALL
0 -
I never said PC players suck, just that base DbD is just not worth it considering the grind and $$$ involved.
Us console players have one thing going for us, and I hope our Epic brethen get to have the same experience as us.
