How to SWF/KYF with crossplay?

[extraontheside]

I play on Steam (PC) and a friend of mine who is considering buying the game only has a Switch. How can he be able to play with me?

Crossplay between PC and consoles isn't possible yet. And I don't think you can even SWF or KYF between Steam and Windows Store users yet.

I'm fairly sure both of these are planned though.

You can’t just yet.

Crossplay right now is limited to the PC platform currently, right now it's only between users playing Dead By Daylight off of Steam and users playing Dead By Daylight off the windows store. We have not yet bridged into crossplay between platforms yet so it is currently not possible, however it is fairly likely going to be a feature that we will see in the future.

Probably not the near future don't be getting your hopes up about being able to play cross platform any time soon. But maybe within the year of 2020 after Dedicated Servers have for the most part been successfully implemented and all the other features / projects they're working on are completed like DBD mobile, then cross play and cross progression will come our way. AKA Possibly within the year of 2020 or maybe even as far as early 2021 is what we're looking at I bet

Unless they've got some super secret part of the dev team which has made these huge strides in these areas that the devs have not informed the community about, which I suppose is hypothetically possible. But as far as I'm concerned they haven't exactly started on it yet

Thanks all!
