Still going strong after nine years, Dead By Daylight is one of the most popular horror titles out there, and the good news is there’s a fairly low bar for PC system requirements.
Dead By Daylight players are treated to regular updates, including the long-awaited addition of crossplay and cross-progression, and there seems to be an almost endless amount of content that could come to the game.
If you’re wanting to jump into the fun on PC, make sure you check out the system requirements to ensure you can play Dead By Daylight.
Dead By Daylight Minimum System Requirements
Dead By Daylight’s minimum system requirements are what’s needed to run the game at a basic level, though you may still encounter some issues.
Inability to meet the minimum requirements may result in being unable to launch the title entirely or facing loading issues, freezes, and crashes while playing the game.
If your PC can’t handle the minimum system requirements and you use the platform as your primary source for gaming, it may be time to seek an upgrade—especially as Dead By Daylight is a nine-year-old title, so the minimum requirements should be more than achievable.
It’s noted on Steam that if your PC only meets these requirements, you should ensure you play Dead By Daylight on the low quality setting.

|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i3-4170/AMD FX-8120 |
| GPU | GeForce GTX 460/AMD HD 6850 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |

For those on console, you won’t need to worry about your platform meeting the minimum requirements, as all platforms will be able to meet the requirements as standard, even if you haven’t upgraded to a next-gen console.
Dead By Daylight Recommended System Requirements
Dead By Daylight’s recommended system requirements have a fairly low bar given the age of the title, so the majority of PC gamers should be able to meet what’s needed.
