With new video game releases coming out every day, players have never had more options for how to spend their free time gaming. Though there’s a wealth of choice in new releases, some of the most popular games today have been out for two, five, or even ten years. Despite their popularity, some players wonder if these older games are worth getting into in 2022.

Looking to start playing Dead By Daylight, and wondering if it’s worth it in 2022? We’ve gone ahead and listed why Dead By Daylight should or shouldn’t be played in 2022 for both new players and returning fans in this guide.

Is DbD worth it for new players in 2022? 

Though the game has been out for quite some time now, Dead By Daylight has never been more popular. Queue times are faster than ever, with a huge spike in interest thanks to the relatively frequent release of new content from the DbD team.

Recently, some of the weakest existing killers in Dead By Daylight have been getting buffed or reworked, making now the best time to get in on DbD and enjoy its newest, healthier meta.

Is DbD worth it for returning players in 2022?

If you’ve already played a lot of Dead By Daylight, there might not be much incentive for you to return. Though the newest chapter, Roots of Dread, has added a new survivor and an incredibly unique new killer, the game itself maintains much of the same repetitive gameplay that many veteran players of Dead By Daylight might find stale.

If you’re a long-time Dead by Daylight player looking for something new, I recommend playing Evil Dead: The Game.

While this guide has pointed out several reasons to play Dead By Daylight, only you can make the decision to start playing. If you found this guide helpful, be sure to check out the rest of our website for more Try Hard Guides.
