Behaviour Interactive has unleashed a fresh patch for Dead by Daylight on May 10, 2026, pushing the game to version 7.0.2 and delivering a substantial list of bug fixes along with a long-awaited auditory treat for Ghost Face enthusiasts. The update, which went live across all supported platforms, doesn't introduce any new game-changing mechanics, but it does polish the asymmetrical horror experience to a mirror-like shine. The most buzzworthy addition is a brand-new chase music track for The Ghost Face, giving the stealthy killer a more pulse-pounding and atmospheric theme as he stalks his prey. For veterans and newcomers alike, this patch is a breath of fresh air, smoothing out a laundry list of nagging issues that have been driving players up the wall for months.

The developers have clearly been burning the midnight oil to quash these bugs, because the patch notes read like a grocery list of player grievances finally put to rest. From missing sound effects to quirky collision problems on specific maps, the team has left no stone unturned. Without further ado, here's the full breakdown of what's new and what's been fixed.

Dead By Daylight Update 7.0.2 Patch Notes (May 10, 2026)

Features

• New Chase Music for The Ghost Face – The Ghost Face now has a custom chase theme that heightens the tension whenever he enters a chase. This bone-chilling melody replaces the default Killer chase music, giving fans of the iconic masked slasher a more immersive hunting experience.

Bug Fixes

Audio & Visual Glitches

• Fixed an issue where James Sunderland was missing both his normal and injured breathing sounds. Silent Hill survivors can now breathe easy – literally.

• Fixed an issue where the embers and wood inside the braziers on the Eyrie of Crows map emitted a metallic SFX when struck. The crackle of fire is back to its natural, creepy self.

• Fixed an issue that caused The Legion’s idle animation to briefly stutter after Feral Frenzy ended. The teen slashers now transition smoothly, no hiccups allowed.

• Fixed an issue where the exposed status effect icon would stubbornly remain visible for survivors after Evil Within tier 3 ended when playing as The Shape. Myers’ stalk is no longer a visual nightmare.

• Fixed an issue where the Ghost Face’s power icon remained unchanged when activating Night Shroud. The icon now correctly toggles, so players won't be left second-guessing their stealth status.

Perk & Add-on Corrections

• Fixed an issue that caused the Rancor perk not to apply the exposed effect to the obsession after the exit gates were powered. Endgame now works as intended, with no free escapes.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Bitter Murmur perk not to trigger when a generator was completed. Information is power, and this perk finally delivers the goods.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Hemorrhage status effect not to refresh upon entering The Nightmare’s traps when equipped with the Cat Block add-on. Freddy’s dream world just got a little bloodier.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Fuming Mix Tape add-on effect to be cancelled when a survivor cleansed the Hex: Ruin totem during Feral Frenzy. Legion mains can now mix their rage without interference.

• Fixed an issue that caused survivors to gain stacks to Feral Slash when hitting a survivor as they were being unhooked. No more cheap progress off unhook invincibility frames.

• Fixed an issue that caused the mending interaction to continue after the deep wound effect was removed by the Anti-Hemorrhagic Syringe. Medics can now patch up without redundant busywork.

Interaction & Map Fixes

• Fixed an issue where pressing "Enter" when entering a promo code closed the popup without submitting the code. Freebies are back on the menu, no strings attached.

• Fixed an issue where Killers were unable to hit Survivors on top of stairs in the Midwich Elementary School map. That infamous stairwell dead zone is history.

• Fixed an issue that caused a noticeable seam in the frame of a vault in the Hospital map. The environment is now as seamless as a survivor's escape plan.

• Fixed an issue that caused Victor not to be reachable and unable to be crushed by survivors after pouncing behind the hole in the locker room on the RPD map. The twins' little buddy won't be getting stuck in geometry anymore.

• Fixed an issue that caused Victor to dissolve after pouncing on most of the stairways on the Haddonfield map. No more disappearing act mid-chase.

• Fixed an issue that caused tutorial progression to appear to be carried over to a different account after switching accounts. New players can now learn the ropes without their practice scores bleeding into other profiles.

Miscellaneous

• Survivors being moried can no longer reveal the Ghost Face. The final moments are strictly a private screening.

• Fixed an issue where the archives ambiance was cut in the Compendium. Lore enthusiasts can immerse themselves without jarring audio cutoffs.

Known Issues

Despite the mountain of fixes, a couple of gremlins remain. The developers have flagged the following ongoing problems:

• The Ghost Face’s add-on "Olsen's Driver's License" is still not functioning as intended. Players should avoid equipping it until a hotfix drops.

• Survivors are missing the open exit gate animation when injured and affected by the Nemesis’ T-Virus. The contaminated escape looks more like a casual stroll, which kills some of the tension.

The 7.0.2 patch may not rewrite the meta, but it’s a much-needed spring cleaning that shows Behaviour Interactive is listening to the community. Ghost Face devotees can finally stalk to a bespoke beat, and the game itself feels tighter and more predictable. With these fixes under the hood, survivors and killers alike can go toe-to-toe in The Fog without worrying about jank pulling them out of the horror. So rev up your generators and sharpen your blades – this updated version of Dead by Daylight is ready for prime time. Keep your eyes peeled for future updates, because if this patch is any indication, the devs are far from hanging up their toolbox.
