    I can tell you from first hand nothing bad happened for me when I did it.

    Zero issues.

    Pretty sure a simple name change shouldn’t change anything about your in-game progress?

    do you have a screenshot of the error message?

    Dead By Daylight is listed under the 'No Known Issues' list on their website here:

    and having googled around, other people on PS4 have changed their name playing DBD without losing any progress, so it seems to be reported as working fine, which you can find here: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/account/games-tested-online-id-change/

    That said, this is also on Sony's website:

    So it seems they can't guarantee it'll have no issues at all. I doubt BHVR can comment on that either, as it's a Sony platform feature rather than their own, so it's ultimately up to you. The reports are that it works fine, but Sony can't guarantee it'll work flawlessly.
