What is the Steam Deck?
The Steam Deck is a portable gaming console developed by Valve designed for playing PC games.

With the Steam Deck, you can play your entire Steam library of games anytime, anywhere – including Dead by Daylight!
How does Dead by Daylight work on the Steam Deck?
As Dead by Daylight has been officially optimized for the Steam Deck, the game works seamlessly on the device.

Playing against PC and console players
Another great thing is that Dead by Daylight supports crossplay. This means that you can easily compete against players who are playing the game on a PC or console on your Steam Deck. So, you don't have to worry about losing your friends just because you're playing on the go.
Are there any limitations to playing on the Steam Deck?
As the Steam Deck is a handheld device, there are, of course, some limitations compared to playing on a PC or console.
