Could This Negative Dead by Daylight Xbox Change Affect Your Game Nights?
I play Dead by Daylight on Xbox. Today, I saw something weird. My cross-play setting was off. I tried to turn it back on, but I couldn’t. The button was gray. I looked online. Other Xbox players had the same problem. They felt cut off from friends who play on other systems.
How Are Players Reacting?
Players talked about this on Reddit and X. One person said, “Loaded in today and crossplay was disabled and cannot be altered. I have never had this issue before.” Some tried restarting the game. It worked for a few, but only for a short time. After that, they got kicked out of lobbies or couldn’t join matches at all.
People who play on Switch said their cross-play still works. So, it looks like this is only happening on Xbox for now.
Why Is This a Big Deal?
Cross-play is important in Dead by Daylight. I like playing with friends, no matter what console they use. When cross-play is off, it’s harder to find games. The matchmaking pool is smaller. This means I wait longer for matches. It also messes with matchmaking rewards. I feel left out from the big group of players.
Is There Any Official Update?
The company that makes the game, Behaviour Interactive, hasn’t said anything yet. Players are guessing what’s wrong. Some think it’s a server problem for Xbox. Others wonder if a new update caused it. The silence makes people worry more.
How Does This Affect You?
- You can’t play with friends on other consoles.
- It takes longer to find a match.
- You miss out on matchmaking bonuses.
- You feel separated from the Dead by Daylight community.
What Can You Do?
Right now, there’s no fix. Restarting the game might help, but it’s not a real solution. You can check forums for updates. You can also share your experience online. The more people talk about it, the faster it might get fixed.
What Should You Watch For?
- Any news from Behaviour Interactive
- Updates from other players
- Changes in the cross-play setting
I know this is frustrating. I want to play with my friends too. I hope the company fixes this soon. Until then, I’ll keep checking for updates and talking with other players. If you have the same problem, you’re not alone. Let’s stay connected and help each other.
