by

After approximately a decade, Dead by Daylight continues to thrive vigorously. Frequently, enthusiasts are treated to new content such as fresh killers like Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul and highly anticipated collaborations with Five Nights at Freddy’s. Furthermore, it seems that DBD has never been better, particularly when we consider the peak of simultaneous players on Steam, which reached an all-time high in June 2025 (according to SteamDB). It is essential to note that this data represents only those who savor the game on PC, while it remains unclear about console users. However, one issue that has surfaced pertains to crossplay on Xbox. Let’s attempt to discover more about this and what the developers have to say regarding it.

Crossplay disabled in DBD on Xbox explained

It’s clear that big publishers such as Sony would likely be interested in adding Dead by Daylight (DBD) to their offerings, given the poor performance of titles like Concord and the controversy surrounding games yet to be released, such as Bungie’s Marathon. However, it’s important to note that DBD also has its own set of issues. One of the most recent problems concerns crossplay on Xbox consoles. So, what went wrong?

Based on numerous player accounts, crossplay functionality in DBD on Xbox consoles was unexpectedly disabled without any means to reactivate it as of July 8th. Trying basic troubleshooting steps like checking the internet connection, restarting the game, or even reinstalling it haven’t resolved the issue. At present, no known solution or workaround has been found for this problem. Fortunately, the developers have acknowledged the issue and are actively working on a resolution behind the scenes.

In the next few hours or days, at most, we anticipate this issue will be resolved. Unfortunately, it’s tough to predict an exact timeframe. Keep yourself updated by checking DBD’s official X account or Facebook page regularly.

In this production, the functionality of the network is crucial, but crossplay is just a piece of it. Since Dead by Daylight has such a large following, finding players to team up with should be easy. However, complications arise when you want to play with a friend who uses a different device than Xbox. Unfortunately, in this situation, your only choice is to wait. In the interim, feel free to peruse our guide which will enhance your understanding of DBD and potentially teach you some fresh techniques. Good luck!
