Xbox Game Pass Standard Vs Ultimate

Though you can play Dead by Daylight whether you have the Standard or Ultimate subscription, the Ultimate comes with some extra benefits.

For example, Behaviour recently ran a promotion where Ultimate subscribers got two cosmetics - one for a killer and one for a survivor - for free.

If you want to access most DLCs or cosmetics past those available in the base game, you will need to buy those with real-world money as they do not come with Xbox Game Pass Standard or Ultimate, save for the occasional gifts that come with Ultimate.

Per recent changes we covered in an article, you will also be able to purchase all non-licensed cosmetics with Iridescent Shards going forward, meaning you won't need to spend real-world money to get most skins.
