NetEase Announces the EOS of Dead by Daylight Mobile

NetEase has announced the end-of-service (EOS) for their popular mobile horror game, Dead by Daylight Mobile. After a four-year run on Android, the game will officially shut down. The PC and console versions remain unaffected.

For those unfamiliar, Dead by Daylight Mobile is a 4v1 mobile adaptation of Behaviour Interactive's successful Dead by Daylight title. Originally released on PC in June 2016, the mobile version launched in April 2020. The mobile game offered the familiar thrill of playing as either Killer or Survivor in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

Dead by Daylight Mobile Shutdown Date:

The official EOS date for Dead by Daylight Mobile is March 20th, 2025. The game will be removed from app stores on January 16th, 2025. Players who already have the game installed can continue playing until the final shutdown date.

NetEase will be processing refunds according to regional laws. Further details on the refund process will be available on January 16th, 2025.

Players wishing to continue their Dead by Daylight experience can transition to the PC or console versions. A welcome package awaits new players making the switch, and existing mobile players will receive loyalty rewards based on their in-game spending and XP.

In short, if you haven't already experienced Dead by Daylight Mobile, you have until January 16th to download it from the Google Play Store. After that, it's game over. For more gaming news, check out our coverage of the new dungeon-building game, Tormentis Dungeon RPG, on Android.
