How many hours do you spend on DBD?

I know the DBD fanbase is pretty big esp on the forums. I would say during good games i can spend hours playing and most time only 20-30 mins depending on how bad of games i get in solo queue. How many hours do you guys spend on dbd, survivor/killer, or even both?

    Per day? On average maybe 5 or 6...

    Per week around 40 I think.

    It depends on the time of day.

    If I'm on during the day, I'd say 2-4 hours. At night, sometimes 30m-1hr. Reason is because the quality of players drops drastically off drastically at night, matchmaking opens up more yellow/green ranks, etc.

    Not much. Maybe an hour at most. I put in one or two games a day if I'm in the mood, but that's about it. The devs behavior and the state of the game keep me from investing any more into it.

    Because of the event I'm playing a lot right now. Anywhere between 3-5 hours a day (always at night). I also play from 8-3/4 on Friday (drinking night).

    Once the event ends I'll definitely play it a lot less. Maybe just the drinking night for a few weeks.

    Normally I'd play 2 times a week for 3 hours then the drinking night.

    depends on the games. i had a lot of fun during when DS was still in its dribble phase. i have about roughly 2000 hours in the game now but barely play it because the game seems more killer power which is fine because survivors have always been super powerful. i’m trying to get back into it but i’m addicted to Overwatch and i’m prob gonna get back into DBD when i get a better computer.

    Used to play 3-4 when I started. Gradually reduced to 1~2 at this point. After RE chapter broke console it's usually 0~1 hour now.

    Not as much as I used to.

    Before when I was working 60+ hours a week, I was playing for about 5/6 hours a day.

    Now when I don't work I play for about 3/4 because of how boring the game is becoming, I prefer broken stuff over balanced.

    A lot.

    It used to be an obscene amount, especially during the lockdown. Now, more like 1-2 hours a day. It gets shorter and shorter since I'm getting burn out.

    I used to play a lot more. Now I think I play anywhere between 10-40 hours a week, usually at the lower end.

    I usually played it for 2 hours a day. Now I'm playing it for 4 hours a day because of the event making the grind easier temporarily.

    Sometimes I'll play all day. Sometimes for a few hours. For weeks on end. But quite often I launch the game, ponder for a few minutes whether it's worth playing and come to the conclusion I'll probably have a bad experience and I go and watch YouTube/Netflix.

    I don't know why, but I tend to get burnt out during the Anniversary events. I actually want to play to grind more cakes so I have less grind in the future. But it's hard to find the motivation to play at the moment.

    Anywhere from one game (so like 10-15 mins) up to 5 hours, on average probably about 2 hours though.

    I have no Idea, most of it is just having the game on in the background while I do something else, then the console turns off by itself and the tv as well a few minutes later.

    Depends. Several hours in the evening, if I have nothing else more important going on. Then sometimes, I don't play for a week or three. I play Survivor predominantly, Killer about 25% of the time.

    11 hours a day sometimes 16

    Honestly, because of the lousy matchmaking and how hard it is to play a killer you've never played before, sweaty matches against highly skilled survivors/killers will at best get me to devote 10 hours a week. Between work and parenting I don't have a lot of free time, and dedicating what free time I do have to something that isn't forgiving to people who are new or just looking to practice isn't something that I care to deal with.
