Dead By Daylight Is Giving Out Free Codes For Its Next Chapter

GameSpot » All News RSS FeedMark Delaney3 min read(about 1 month ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

Dead by Daylight's next chapter, Chorus of Sin, is a "community-driven" event that kicks off at the end of August, but you can start playing it up to a month early by winning yourself an early-access code.

Starting July 30, Dead by Daylight content creators will stream the new Chorus of Sin chapter on Twitch, and tuning in for at least an hour will place you in a drawing that will randomly select winners. Those lucky players will receive Steam codes via email to play the next chapter ahead of its August 25 public date. It'll even get you in before the private test build launches on August 5.

The early-access windows will be limited and spread across the next several days. You can find that schedule below.

  • Thursday, July 30: 12-4 PM ET and 5-9 PM ET
  • Friday, July 31: 8-11 AM ET, 12-4 PM ET and 5-9 PM ET
  • Saturday, Aug. 1: 8-11 AM ET and 12-4 PM ET

If you're interested in trying your luck at getting a code, follow these steps:

  • Create or already have a BHVR account
  • Have your BHVR account linked to Twitch
  • Watch a minimum of one hour of Chorus of Sin Early Access streams labeled with the “Drops Enabled” tag

Not everyone who qualifies will get a code, but given that it's free other than an hour of your time, it's worth a shot if you're looking to check out the next chapter weeks in advance.

Chorus of Sin is the first-ever DBD chapter built by the community. It'll feature a new original killer, The Judgment, as well as a new original survivor, Aurora, both of whom are characters that the game's player base helped imagine.

Wardogs Has A Massive Start On Steam, But Players Face Brutal Server Queues🖥 PC, Multi-platform

Wardogs Has A Massive Start On Steam, But Players Face Brutal Server Queues

A big new military FPS, Wardogs (not to be confused with the 2016 Jonah Hill/Miles Teller crime-comedy War Dogs) launched today in early access(https://store.steampowered.com/app/1867240/WARDOGS/) on Steam, and it's off to a hot start. The shooter reached 300,000 peak concurrent users on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed) right out of the gate and the $40 game is currently Steam's No. 1 best-seller. Pretty impressive for a game that the developer told you not to buy(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shooter-climbing-steam-charts-lists-10-reasons-not-to-buy-it/). Given the flood of players, developer Bulkhead instituted a server queue system, and this quickly became something of a meme on social media. Players shared screenshots of the queue and their place in it--some people reported having more than 300,000 people in line in front of them(https://x.com/ModernWarzone/status/2098098285244207270). Yeesh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpQnZgZCIo8 Bulkhead responded to the brutal queueing situation, saying it was partly due(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098088030686879852) to the developer being "rate limited." The company said it was working with Valve to resolve this limit and get an increase in line with "larger titles." Things got worse, temporarily albeit, for some, as Bulkhead made the decision to kick everyone from the queue(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098096580670759056) as a fix that, in theory, would help more players get into the game faster. Bulkhead boss Joe Brammer gave an update on the queuing situation, saying the queue itself is not "specifically broken," but instead he said Wardogs didn't get the kind of treatment that AAA games receive when it comes to rate limits. "Hang in there," Brammer said. https://twitter.com/Brammflakes/status/2098101353595724112 That wasn't the extent of the launch-day issues, as people reported getting banned for seemingly no reason. Bulkhead said it's aware of these "incorrect bans"(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098080435687317592) and is working to address them immediately. Wardogs is a large-scale military FPS featuring 100 players, divided into three teams, on a map battling it out in a fictional version of Eastern Europe. In addition to launching Wardogs into early access, Bulkhead revealed that the game's console edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will be released in 2028.
