No native split-screen is available, multiplayer is online only.
Some Switch players got creative using Docked mode and local streaming, but it’s unofficial and laggy.
No plans announced for Couch co-op, dev focus remains on cross-play stability.
Local co-op mod exists on PC, but using modded clients voids VAC and could cause bans.
Player demand is high, but implementation isn’t simple due to network architecture.
Nah, Dead by Daylight still doesn't have split-screen co-op—even in 2025, it's all about that online multiplayer grind with cross-play keeping the survivors and killers connected from afar. Total bummer if you're craving couch chaos, but hey, it forces you to branch out and team up virtually... or maybe turn that adrenaline-fueled heart-pounding vibe into some real-world sparks.
