How Dead by Daylight is doing right now
Dead by Daylight currently has 39,253 players online, based on a reading we collected 4 minutes ago. That is +30.6% higher compared with the same time yesterday. Over the past 24 hours the count moved between 30,052 and 62,727 concurrent players. The seven-day peak is 81,554. The highest count in our records is 81,554, reached on August 30, 2026. The current figure is 48% of that peak. Player counts follow a strong daily and weekly cycle, so compare the same hour across different days rather than two readings taken hours apart. Steam recalculates its concurrent player figure about every 15 minutes, while we collect this game every 5 minutes, so the timestamp above is when we collected the number, not when Valve computed it. We have been recording Dead by Daylight since August 17, 2026 and refresh this page every 5 minutes.
