Dead by Daylight Combats Bugs with Update 7.7.1

Horror fans, rejoice: the newest Dead by Daylight update is here, bringing with it plenty of much-needed bug fixes.

The past few months have been tough for the asymmetrical horror game, with Chapter 31 bringing a new game engine that’s been causing tons of issues for players. Thankfully, Update 7.7.1 is now available on all platforms and aims to fix lots of issues with the game’s audio, UI, maps, and more. The update will also pave the way for the new “Chaos Shuffle” modifier set to go live on May 16
