Behaviour Interactive has recently confirmed to fans that it’s working on adding a hugely popularFortnitefeature toDead by Daylight—a Gifting System.Dead by Daylightplayers have long been asking for a feature like this, though Behaviour had said that some issues were preventing the developer from adding it—but that has changed now.
Dead by Daylight’s asymmetric horror experience has evolved quite significantly over the years, thanks to the consistent support of Behaviour. As a live service game,Dead by Daylightis constantly changing, with the developer always bringing new stuff for fans, like new features, collaborations with new playable characters, updates, and more. On July 25, players are going to be treated to acrossover betweenDead by DaylightandThe Walking Dead, adding new characters and locations. Continuing with the game’s evolution, Behaviour has plenty of plans for 2025, though there was one highly requestedFortnitefeature that wasn’t certain to be added—until now.
During a recentDead by DaylightAMA, Behaviour addressed plenty of fans' questions, touching upon the possibility of adding aGifting System likeFortnite’s to the horror multiplayer game—confirming the feature is in the works. Reddit user Background-Drink82 organized all of the devs' answers in a comprehensive post, noting that Behaviour said it has a design for the Gifting feature and is now “discussing the security and safety measures.” For those who were hoping to see this feature added soon, the developer has unfortunately announced it’s planned for April 2026—though it said the date may change.
For those unfamiliar,Fortnite’s gifting systemallows players to basically send cosmetic content like skins, emotes, and even real-money Battle Passes directly to friends via the Item Shop. It’s unclear whether this system will work in the same way inDead by Daylight, and Behaviour hasn’t disclosed any details yet, only saying that the team already has a design for the feature.
On top of the Gifting System, Behaviour commented on many more pieces of content and features it plans to add tothe popularDead by Daylightin the future. Some of these include an improved and more accurate chat filter to ban aggressive players’ comments, a Skull Merchant rework for 2026, more Licensed Killers in 2v8, and new themed Maps. Surprisingly, Behaviour has also revealed it would like to release a documentary showing behind-the-scenes content for fans to see how the characters and their stories were crafted—though this is only an idea, and there are no clear dates for when it will happen. While players wait until April 2026, the Gifting System is finally on its way toDead by Daylight.
