UPDATE: October 23rd, 2026
Since we launched the new Creator Program, we have been taken aback by the amount of passion and dedication to Dead by Daylight and have been working hard to review the large volume of applications we've received from all over the world.
We know many of you have been waiting on updates and we are now able to welcome even more creators into the program over the next couple of months. In order to properly support the creator community we are growing and supporting, as well as respond to the large volume of requests in a timely manner, we are pausing new applications for the time being.
What does pausing new applications mean?
We will be fully focused on processing all pending applications. This does not impact any applications received or already in progress prior to today. This also allows us to take the time to fully onboard new creators and roll out new ways to support you on your content creation journey.
When will new applications be accepted?
We currently expect to re-open the application window in late Spring 2027. We will communicate when this happens and you can also keep an eye on updates to the Program here.
