Dead by Daylight + Shift At Midnight bundle
The official Dead by Daylight + Shift At Midnight bundle launched on August 28, 2026, offering a 43% discount on the combined price. Both titles share co-op horror DNA — Shift At Midnight's retail-detective loop and Dead by Daylight's 4-vs-1 asymmetric chase appeal to overlapping audiences. Owners of either game can complete the bundle with the other at the discounted rate.
What the bundle includes
The bundle links the two games on Steam as a single purchase option:
- Shift At Midnight — co-op detective horror at a rural petrol station. 1–3 players, Story Mode (13 shifts), Endless Mode (beta), proximity voice chat, pets, forecourt work, and the September 1 content drop (30 new customers, Chainsaw, Security Cameras, Patience Metre).
- Dead by Daylight — Behaviour Interactive's long-running 4-vs-1 asymmetric horror. Four Survivors try to escape while one Killer hunts them down across iconic licensed and original maps.
- The 43% bundle discount stacks on top of any individual current sale prices — no expiry was announced at launch.
Why the two games pair together
Both games lean on co-op horror mechanics, jump-scare pacing, and role asymmetry — but they diverge sharply in structure:
- Shift At Midnight is a closed-session detective loop: small crew, procedural shifts, investigation before survival. No player-vs-player kill mechanic; the horror comes from identifying doppelgangers before they escalate.
- Dead by Daylight is an open asymmetric chase: four Survivors vs one Killer across multi-minute rounds, with unlockable perks, prestige systems, and a decade of DLC content.
- The pairing appeals to players who want the short-burst investigative horror of Shift At Midnight and the longer marathon chase sessions of Dead by Daylight — both share horror DNA without being mechanically similar.
Who benefits most from the bundle
The bundle makes sense in three scenarios:
- New to both — if you own neither game, the bundle saves 43% versus buying separately. Both are independently worth the price at their current discounted rates.
- Shift At Midnight fans — if you already own Shift At Midnight and want another co-op horror fix, Dead by Daylight offers 4-vs-1 asymmetric gameplay with overlapping community vibes.
- Dead by Daylight veterans — Behaviour's game has run since 2016 with hundreds of hours of content; Shift At Midnight's tight 10-hour Story offers a different pace between Dead by Daylight sessions.
What is not part of the cross-promotion
This is a promotional bundle, not a game update or crossover content:
- No Dead by Daylight characters or maps in Shift At Midnight.
- No Shift At Midnight content in Dead by Daylight.
- No cross-play between the two games.
- Dead by Daylight's extensive DLC library (licensed characters, maps, and chapters) remains a separate purchase.
Bundle price vs buying separately
As of the August 28, 2026 announcement, Steam listed the bundle at a 43% discount versus the combined individual prices. The discount stacks on top of any current individual sale prices for each title. No end date was announced at launch.
