Behaviour Digital is giving us a chance to try their asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight before it releases on June 14th with a closed beta that kicks off today — as in it’s rolling out on Steam right now. And it’s not another one of those weekend-long betas, either. No sir, this beta will be around until June 12th, so you should have plenty time to see what the first entry in this exciting new wave of slasher games has to offer.
For now, access is limited. If you pre-ordered the game, you should see the key — or keys, as in there should be three of them, if you grabbed the deluxe edition — in your Steam inventory. If you registered for the beta at PAX, then you should get an email today with your beta key. And finally, if you played the alpha, there’s nothing for you to do, “your alpha key is becoming a Beta key as we speak. Just make sure the game gets updated.”
To everyone else, be patient. You might still be able to get in on this, as Behaviour confirms more “keys might be coming from different places. Our Twitch session, next Thursday, is a good place to try.” I’d also recommend keeping an eye on the game’s Steam forums.
