What is Cross-Progression?
Cross-Progression allows you to synchronize different elements of your inventory on all the participating platforms where you play.
As it is a separate product, there will be no Cross-Progression available for the Dead by Daylight Mobile version.
Here are the platforms that will participate in Cross-Progression:
- Steam
- Epic Games Store
- Windows Store
- PlayStation 4
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox One
- Xbox Series X|S
- Nintendo Switch
The extent of what is shared in your inventory depends on the platforms synced as there are some restrictions, which will be shared below.
What is the difference between Linking and Syncing my Behaviour Account?
Linking will take the account(s) of your choice, on PC & Consoles, and create the link between that account and your Behaviour Account. If you have not also synced your account, you can unlink the provider account for a different one, however, there is a 60 day waiting period before you can link a different account of that same platform again. If you wish to re-link the original provider account, you will be able to do so without a delay.
Syncing allows players to unify their Dead by Daylight accounts and share their progress in the future. More information about how to sync your accounts can be found here. After syncing your accounts, you will be unable to unlink your provider account.
*The Sync Button will check to make sure that your in-game account (Dead by Daylight) is connected to your Behaviour Account and update the information that is communicated between the two. This can be done after linking your desired account to your Behaviour account.
I have Dead by Daylight on Nintendo Switch, can I share progression and DLCs on other platforms now?
Cross-Progression for the Nintendo Switch will function slightly differently than across other platforms in the following ways:
- Purchased Auric Cells are not able to be shared
- Purchased DLC can be shared from other Platforms to the Nintendo Switch, but players cannot share from the Switch to other Platforms.
How many platforms can I link and sync? I have 2 Steam accounts, can I sync them?
You will be able to link & sync one platform account. For example, this means you can have one Steam account, one Epic Games account, and one Xbox account synced, but you cannot have 2 Steam accounts synced.
I have made a lot of progress on my characters on only one platform and not much on the other platforms, what is going to happen?
Any progress you have made on character levels and perks will not go to waste. The highest value will be carried over. For example, if Jake is on level 50 on Steam, and level 3 on your Xbox, Jake will be level 50 on all the platforms you have synced. This will also be how items and offerings are synced with the higher value being used.
My accounts have different amounts of in-game currencies, what is going to happen to them?
Once your account(s) are synced, you will get a new wallet, which will store an accumulated total of all the Auric Cells you own on your account(s) except for Nintendo Switch. You will be able to access this shared wallet on any of the Cross-Progression enabled platforms you play on.
For Nintendo Switch, Auric Cells will stay with the platform account and cannot be shared.
However, Bloodpoints, Iridescent Shards, and Rift Fragments will be accumulated and shared across all platforms.
If the accumulated total of Bloodpoints exceeds the maximum amount of 2,000,000, you will not be able to earn them from trials, Daily Challenges, and Archives.
My platforms have been synced, but why can I only see this item on one platform?
Some items are platform-exclusive and will not be shared.
Once I have enabled Cross-Progression, can I unsync my platforms from the Behaviour account?
You are not able to unsync platforms from your Behaviour account once you have synced accounts. Player Support is also unable to circumvent this restriction on request.
Why am I unable to sync one of my platforms?
We highly recommend players boot the game on the latest version before enabling Cross-Progression, in order to facilitate the syncing process.
Please note: This is a mandatory requirement for players on Nintendo Switch. The game will need to be updated and launched before you can begin setting up Cross-Progression on your account.
How long will it take to have my platforms synced?
The time it would take for your account(s) to be synced into a Behaviour account varies. It is dependent on factors such as how much data the individual platform account has; the more data there is, and the number of players trying to sync their accounts, the longer it will take.
What if I already own the same DLC content on multiple platforms?
We are unable to retroactively refund your duplicate purchases but we want to thank you for your long-term support of DBD. As a thank you, we will gift players with 4500 Iridescent Shards automatically the first time they sync accounts if they owned the same DLC on multiple platforms. This special thank you gift is available for 3 months after cross-progression is released, until October 22nd 2024.
When I launched my game my settings were different, what happened?
Settings are not included in the Behaviour Account sync and will need to be adjusted to your desired preferences.
How do I get the Campfire Charm?
Players will receive the Campfire Charm when they first sync their accounts. If you had already synced your accounts in the past, don't worry. Synced players will be granted this charm retroactively, with no further action needed. Please note that the charm may not appear immediately after syncing. For those who had previously synced accounts, we hope to have the charms sent out by the beginning of August. We thank you all for your patience.
How do I enable Cross-Progression?
The first step will be to create a Behaviour Account here:

Players who have already created a Behaviour Account can simply log in and go to the connections page to link and sync their different platform accounts.
