Middle East servers are needed for fair ping

Many players in the Middle East and Gulf region are consistently being placed on EU servers with ping around 120–150 ms.

For a game like Dead by Daylight, this level of latency has a real impact on gameplay quality. The game relies heavily on timing precision for skill checks, fast vaults, hit validation and mindgames. Even small delays can affect whether an interaction feels fair or not.

Players in the Middle East should be able to have a similar experience. Many modern multiplayer games already provide servers in locations such as UAE or Bahrain, making low latency possible across the region.

At the moment, Middle East players are often required to compete at a disadvantage simply due to geography, even though the regional gaming population continues to grow every year.

It would be helpful to know:
• whether Middle East server support is being considered
• whether routing for this region can be improved
• whether additional server locations are planned in the future

If you are playing from the ME or Gulf region, sharing your country and average ping could help demonstrate how widespread this issue is.

Thank you.

    I completely agree with this take it would be really nice to have Middle East servers to achieve lower pings that would be awesome I really wish bhvr considers it

    It might take some time for BHVR to find Amazon Web Services in the Middle East for a lil while due to you know… the war.

    please BHVR, just tell us whether ME servers are considered.

    I have been playing DBD now for over 6 years, this whole time my ping is over 120, this is a huge disadavntage, which makes me play less and less over the time, if we had ME servers im sure i will play more. Im sure everyone here in the ME feel the same.

    Please BHVR we just need you to acknowledge the problem and that you will find a solution. Thanks 🤍
