Complete Dead by Daylight Ps5 Guide: Next-Gen Upgrades, Trophies, Settings, and Best Deals
By Sarah Jenkins
Q1: Does the PS5 version support 120 FPS display modes?
A1: No. Dead by Daylight operates with a hard rendering cap of 60 frames per second across all console platforms. While high-end PC hardware can reach 120 FPS via specific menu toggles, the native PS5 client remains locked at 60 FPS to ensure consistent simulation physics and parity across console players.
Q2: If I upgrade to the PS5 edition, can I still play with friends on PS4?
A2: Yes. Full crossplay matchmaking runs across all supported platforms. PS5 users can group up, invite, and matchmake alongside friends running the PS4 edition, Xbox systems, Nintendo Switch, or PC without restriction.
Q3: Why didn't all my PS4 trophies unlock when launching the PS5 version?
A3: Sony treats the PS5 release as an independent application with its own unique trophy database. While some character-level progression trophies populate automatically upon reading your saved profile data, cumulative actions require you to trigger the specific action in an active match to register the unlock on your PS5 profile.
