Dead by Daylight has been going strong since its release in 2016. If you didn’t know, it is a survival-horror multiplayer game (asymmetrical) where four survivors face off against a killer. The survivors must work together to escape, while the killer’s objective is to hunt them down and sacrifice them to maintain the entity’s dark powers. With millions of players worldwide playing the game, DBD has become a staple in the horror gaming genre. Perhaps the nail-biting suspense and iconic crossovers with famous horror franchises are the reasons behind the popularity of the game. Anyway, while DBD has almost everything to offer, the feature to adjust the in-game FOV of the Killer has been missing since forever. But that may soon change with the announcement of the new FOV slider option in the game. In this article, we will go over the details of this addition and see how it will impact the overall gameplay.
Let’s face it: a low FOV usually leads to motion sickness. When the FOV is set too low, it creates a sense of distortion and discomfort. To counter this, almost all games these days offer a FOV slider as a solution that allows players to adjust their in-game FOV according to their personal preferences. If you have been playing Dead by Daylight, you will notice that the FOV adjustment option is not available in the game. But why is that so? And when will that change? Well, keep reading for all the answers.

So, why is the option to adjust FOV not available in the game? Think about it: in asymmetric games like Dead by Daylight, where one player takes on the role of the killer and others play as survivors, increasing the in-game FOV can provide advantages to the killer. In DBD, a wider FOV will allow for better visibility of the surroundings, potentially making it easier for the killer to track and catch the survivors with ease.
Well, this will soon be a reality, as the devs have now made it apparent that a “design” to implement the feature in the game is currently under development. You can check the tweet from the official DBD Twitter handle if this still sounds unbelievable. That being said, when will this feature make its way to the game?
Dead by Daylight (DBD) FOV slider Release Date?
Well, as of writing this article, there is no definitive release date for when such a setting will be introduced in the game. However, as per the official tweet, we can expect to see the feature implemented into the game “later this year or early next year”. Those were the exact words of the developer, and that is all the information we have right now. Considering the fact that they have to maintain fair play between killers and survivors while implementing the FOV-adjusting feature, we can expect the developers to take some time to fully flush out the execution. For now, all we can do is wait for the developers to make progress with their “design” and update us about a release window. Anyway, that’s all for this article.
