10 years later, asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight sets a new concurrent player record on Steam, showing that the ongoing support is definitely working
Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical online horror game, has achieved a new all-time concurrent player record on Steam with 125,820 players online simultaneously. The milestone comes as the game approaches its 10th anniversary and represents a significant uptick in player engagement since April.
The surge in activity follows a major showcase event where Behaviour Interactive announced substantial visual overhauls and content updates. Most notably, the addition of Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise has generated significant interest among players. While some community members believe the new killer may be overpowered and are speculating about potential balance adjustments, his popularity has clearly contributed to the player surge.
The concurrent player record demonstrates the continued viability of live-service support for long-running games. With summer holidays approaching and additional content updates planned for the coming weeks, Behaviour Interactive appears positioned to sustain or even grow this player momentum further.
