How does Dead by Daylight Mobile compare to the main game?

Dead by Daylight Mobile is not simply a portable clone of the PC/console game; it’s a standalone mobile release with its own progression, events, and player pool. The main game supports cross-play across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, but Dead by Daylight Mobile operates in its own ecosystem and cannot cross-play or cross-progression with the main title. In short, mobile players won’t be matched with players on other platforms, and progress from mobile cannot be carried over to PC/console/Switch.

On progression and monetization, DB Digital Mobile uses a different system from the core game. Mobile’s progression relies on a Bloodmarket and character experience rather than the core game’s Bloodweb-per-character progression; perks unlock through leveling, and currency/gacha mechanics drive cosmetics. This means even if you’re already deep in the core game, mobile won’t automatically reflect that progression, and you won’t be able to transfer progress between the two.

Content parity has varied over time: DB Mobile launched with fewer maps and characters and updates at its own pace, though it has gradually expanded. Many players note that mobile’s roster and maps can lag behind the core game and run on its own cadence, with additional platform-specific differences and monetization.
