Dead by Daylight Mobile is set to bid farewell as the game closes its doors on March 20, 2025. Gamers should note that it will no longer be available for download from the Google Play Store and the App Store starting January 16, 2025. For those passionate fans who decide to transition to playing on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or the Nintendo Switch, they can expect a special welcome package filled with exciting rewards.
As NetEase Games, the publisher, redirects its efforts and energies regarding this asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game, current mobile players can enjoy it on their smartphones right up until mid-March 2025. After that point, gameplay will still be possible on other platforms like consoles and PCs.
Dead by Daylight made its debut on PC in June 2016 and, over the last eight and a half years, has expanded across numerous platforms. The mobile version quickly gained traction, launching in April 2020. Incredibly, it reached over a million downloads in just 48 hours from the mobile stores.
Yet, after nearly five years and the introduction of numerous new killers and survivors, the mobile edition will soon retire. A recent announcement on the official Dead by Daylight Mobile news page confirms March 20, 2025, as the final date for mobile gameplay. Those eager to play the game before it’s taken down should act fast. By January 16, 2025, Dead by Daylight Mobile will no longer be available on digital storefronts like the App Store and Google Play.
Although the mobile version is wrapping up, Behaviour Interactive, its developer, doesn’t plan to stop updating Dead by Daylight on PCs and consoles. Mobile users who wish to switch to these platforms can enjoy a rewarding welcome package.
This gift includes 500,000 Bloodpoints and 2,250 Iridescent Shards. Additional rewards of Iridescent Shards and Auric Cells are available based on previous in-game purchases, maxing out at 5,000 Auric Cells and 108,000 Iridescent Shards for purchases of $200 or more. Furthermore, up to two million Bloodpoints can be awarded based on previously earned experience. To claim these incentives, players should log into the mobile game and their Behaviour Interactive account to choose their preferred platform by March 20, 2025. Even those who have been playing on mobile and another setup simultaneously can benefit from this generous offer as a token of appreciation for their continued support.
