Dead by Daylight is still going strong, eight years after its launch. The influx of players with each chapter and event can shake up the servers, so here's how to check the server status in DBD.

Since Behavior Interactive doesn’t support an official server status page like Riot Games or others, you’ll need to seek out alternative options. Services like Downdetector are among the best ways to find out if a server is working as intended or not, although it relies largely on player-reported incidents and can sometimes provide incomplete or misleading information. Still, it’s one of the better ways to understand what’s going on.
The official Behavior Interactive and Dead by Daylight accounts on X (formerly Twitter) can also provide you with valuable, verified information about server status and stability. The developer will notify players whenever a major outage is detected, usually with an estimated time for servers to come back online, or possible solutions to resolve the issue.
Finally, try Reddit or other social media platforms with dedicated Dead by Daylight communities for anecdotal information about server issues, stability, and status. You can also ask if anyone else is experiencing the same network issues as you. Servers can go down for a variety of reasons, such as the release of a new mode or event, or a backend outage. Social media can help you figure out what’s wrong and fix it, if possible.
