Look, let's be honest—Dead by Daylight, the undisputed heavyweight of asymmetrical PvP, has just hit its 10th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the devs have unleashed a new killer, Jason, alongside a slew of content updates and hefty discounts. It’s no surprise, then, to see the game climbing back to the very top of the Steam global charts.

As of the 17th, Jason—previously teased on the test servers—has officially joined the main roster. Armed with his signature machete and projectile attacks, he brings a terrifying 'undetectable' stealth mechanic to the table. His projectiles don't just pierce and push survivors, revealing their locations, but can also pin them in place if they collide with environmental hazards. Plus, he’s got a rather aggressive way of dealing with obstacles, shredding pallets and vaulting windows in a heartbeat.

Player reception for the Jason DLC is currently 'Very Positive' (based on 652 reviews, with an 88% approval rating). While fans are chuffed with how faithfully the character’s iconic look and visceral execution animations have been recreated, there’s a growing chorus of complaints regarding his balancing, with some claiming he’s a bit too overpowered. To sweeten the deal, the base game and most DLCs are on sale, and there's a free trial period running until the early hours of the 23rd. This has pushed the Concurrent Players count to a record-breaking 125,820.

Beyond the killer and the discounts, Dead by Daylight has been celebrating its decade-long run since the 15th with a anniversary livestream. The broadcast teased a wave of incoming content, including new survivors, future chapters, the arrival of Frank Stone, fresh maps, and a collection of new skins. They’re also handing out Bloodpoint codes over on their X account, so keep your eyes peeled.

Elsewhere on the charts, Jurassic World Evolution 3 has secured the 4th spot following the launch of its 'Rebirth Expansion'. Meanwhile, the Chinese martial arts title 'The Scroll of Taiwu' has finally hit its official full release after roughly eight years in early access, landing it in 10th place.

In the daily peak Concurrent Players top 20, Metcha Chameleon continues to impress, shifting another million units in just 24 hours to hit the 3 million mark, with its peak Concurrent Players climbing to 209,667. Taskbar Hero remains on an upward trajectory, boasting 539,098 players.
