Xbox players have a limited-time opportunity to jump into one of gaming’s most popular multiplayer horror experiences without spending a cent. Dead by Daylight is currently available to play for free on Xbox, and the offer is open to all Xbox users, even those without an active Game Pass subscription.
The promotion is part of Xbox’s latest Free Play initiative and allows players to experience the full game throughout the weekend. According to the announcement, the free access period runs from now until June 22, giving newcomers several days to see what the long-running horror title has to offer.
The timing is particularly notable, as Dead by Daylight is currently enjoying renewed attention following its recent anniversary celebrations and major content updates. The asymmetrical multiplayer game pits four survivors against a single killer, with players either working together to escape or hunting down their prey before they can flee.
Unlike some Xbox Free Play promotions that require a Game Pass membership, this trial is available to all Xbox players, making it easier than ever to try the game before deciding whether to purchase it permanently.
With Dead by Daylight continuing to expand through new chapters, licensed collaborations, and regular updates, the free weekend provides a perfect opportunity for players who have never stepped into The Entity’s realm before.
Do I need Xbox Game Pass?
No. The promotion is available to all Xbox users, regardless of whether they have Game Pass.
