Dead by Daylight will introduce visual customization options and a Streamer Mode on November 24, 2026. These new features are designed for both casual players and content creators, allowing adjustments to the presentation of certain gory elements to comply with regional and platform content guidelines while maintaining the tension of matches.
The new blood color setting allows players to replace the default red with more neutral tones, affecting most gory visuals in trials, including characters, hooks, and screen effects. Players can also obscure execution animations; when enabled, the Fog will cover some of the goriest content without interrupting normal gameplay.
The Streamer Mode, aimed at broadcasters, will integrate the aforementioned features by automatically adjusting blood color, obscuring execution scenes, and replacing player names with character names. Additionally, this mode will disable lobby chat and display a "Streamer Mode" indicator on screen. According to the developers, these settings reduce the need for creators to manually edit footage and improve the viewing experience.
Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships at Behaviour Interactive, and José Ramos, Vice President of Games, will take the stage at WePlay Shanghai on November 22 at 13:00 for a special presentation to share game-related information. Dead by Daylight is currently available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
