Dead by Daylight is still going strong even after eight full years since launch. The influx of players with each chapter and event can sometimes shake the servers up, so here is how to check the server status in DBD.
How to see Dead by Daylight server status
As Behavior Interactive does not support an official server status page like Riot Games or others, players will have to take alternative options. Services such as Downdetector are among the best ways you can know if a server is working as intended or not, though it is based largely on player-reported incidents and can sometimes offer incomplete or misleading information. It is nevertheless one of the better ways of at least getting the gist of the situation.
The official Behavior Interactive and Dead by Daylight accounts on X (formerly Twitter) can also be the source of valuable, verified information regarding server status and stability. The developers will notify players every time a major outage is detected, usually with clarification regarding the estimated time when servers will be back up or what you can do to circumvent the issue.
Lastly, you can opt for Reddit or other social media platforms with dedicated Dead by Daylight communities that will provide anecdotal information regarding server issues, stability, and status. You can also hop on them and ask yourself if anyone else is experiencing the same networking trouble as you. Servers can be down for any number of reasons, such as the release of a new mode or event, or due to broader back-end failure. Social media inquiries can help you track down what’s wrong and help you solve it if possible.
