Dead by Daylight Price: Retail, Deals & Price History

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric horror game where one player hunts four others. It has been out for years and has grown through paid chapters, each adding a new killer and survivor, so "how much does it cost" has more than one answer. The base game is one price. Everything after that is a choice.

This page covers the base game, the larger editions, and the add-on packs, using prices from the Xbox store and from console list-price data. PC prices on Steam can differ from console prices and change often, so check the Steam page directly if you play there.

The Microsoft Store page checked on Oct 14, 2026 lists the base game and three bundles. Each bundle packs the game with chapters and content that you could also buy one by one. The "+" in the store marks a starting price.

The Jason Edition adds a single chapter, so it sits close to the base price. The 10th Anniversary Edition collects several chapters. The Gold Edition is the biggest, and its page from Microsoft Store lists the base game together with a large set of chapters.

Console list prices, called MSRP, come from Deku Deals and Deku Deals. These are the prices set by the publisher before any sale.

The Ultimate Edition is a separate bundle from the Gold Edition and carries its own list price. Before you buy a bundle, read the contents list. The same chapter can appear in several bundles, and some bundles exclude chapters that came out after it was assembled.

Beyond chapters, the game sells packs of extra content.

These packs are separate from the base game and from the chapters. The Xbox listing from Xbox shows them as individual purchases, so a player buying the base game and a few packs can pay far more than the starting price.

• Bundle. Usually cheaper than buying the same chapters one by one, but only if you want most of what is inside.
• Individual chapters. Better if you play one killer or one survivor and ignore the rest.
• Base game only. Enough to learn the game and decide whether the chapters are worth buying.

Do the math before committing. List the chapters you actually want, add up their prices, and compare against the bundle. A bundle with five chapters you will never play costs more than it saves.

A chapter adds a new killer and a new survivor, usually based on a horror film, game or original story. Licensed chapters tie into franchises, which is why the list of chapters keeps growing. Chapters change the roster and the strategies available, but you do not need them to play online. You only need them if you want to play those characters yourself.

Ask yourself which side you play. If you mostly play survivors, killer chapters add less for you, and the reverse also holds. Check the store page for the chapter's contents before buying.

The base game is a paid purchase on the platforms covered here. Check each store page for any free-weekend or trial events, as these change over time.

• Check seasonal sales. Stores discount the game and its bundles regularly, though a sale price is temporary.
• Compare stores. Console and PC listings differ, so check both if you can play on either.
• Look at subscription catalogs. Some subscriptions include the game at times, and catalogs change.
