One of Dead by Daylight fans’ most wanted features for years has been Streamer Mode. Streamer Mode, as players have suggested it, would allow streamers more anonymity and thus protect them and those they play with from harassment.
Finally, Behaviour Interactive has answered fans’ wishes, and Streamer Mode has been added to the 6.2.0 Public Test Build.
If all goes well, it will be added to the live version of the game. In this article, we’ll go over all of the features included in Streamer Mode and how to turn it on.
Dead By Daylight Streamer Mode
Dead by Daylight’s Streamer Mode allows players to customize their Dead by Daylight experience while streaming to protect themselves from harassment. In Streamer Mode, you can toggle seeing your name, and other players’ names and even add a short, random delay when matchmaking.
