We've spent over a year building the Chorus of Sin Chapter with you through The Grimoire. You've been with us every step of the way, one vote at a time, and we wanted to thank you for helping us bring these new Characters to life.
As of today, we are launching our Early Access build for the content of the Chorus of Sin. The Early Access is usually meant to give creators an early look at the new content ahead of the PTB, an experience they share with their own community, but this time we wanted to do something a little different and give YOU the chance to get into the Early Access too.
After all, this is YOUR Chapter.
Starting today, July 30, 2026 at 9am ET, selected Dead by Daylight creators will be streaming the new content from the Early Access build. Watch any selected DbD creator on Twitch with drops enabled for one hour to enter a contest and get the chance to be randomly selected to join the Early Access. (Go to Browsing > Dead by Daylight and look for the DropsEnabled tag to see streams that you can watch to earn Drops.)
You need to:
Play DbD using a Steam account (PC), as the Early Access will only be available on that platform.
Create a Behaviour Account if you don’t have one already.
Link your Behaviour Account to your Twitch account.
Watch one hour of selected Dead by Daylight creators on Twitch with drops enabled.
After meeting the one (1) hour requirement, you will automatically enter a pool for a chance to be randomly selected. If selected, you'll receive an email (sent to the same address attached to your Behaviour account) with all the details you need to get into the build. The access is linked to your account and cannot be shared with other players. Make sure you opted-in to receive communications from BHVR in your BHVR Account to receive the email.
We will run five draws between July 30-31, 2026, at the following times:
Thursday July 30: 12PM ET, 5PM ET
Friday July 31: 9AM ET, 12PM ET, 5PM ET
If you are eligible, and have not already been selected, you will be considered for all subsequent draws.
The Early Access is available in all regions where Dead by Daylight is playable. Early Access spots are limited and tied to our server rollout and testing goals.
When can I start watching streams?
Selected streams will begin on July 30, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET. Look for participating channels displaying the Drops Enabled tag.
If selected, you'll be able to jump into the Early Access during any and all of the following windows:
July 30
12:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET
5:00 PM – 9:00 PM ET
July 31
8:00 AM – 11:00 AM ET

Thank you again for being part of this journey and we hope to see you in the Fog!

Early Access is an early version of the build that is made available during PTB, giving you an opportunity to test the new content. As it is an early version, it could contain some additional bugs, missing features, or translations that would normally be addressed before a regular PTB release. Feedback shared during the Early Access will be compiled with PTB feedback, but no changes will be implemented in time for the PTB.
The one hour requirement does not automatically give you access to the build. After meeting the one hour requirement, you will be added to a pool for a chance to be selected to join the Early Access. If you get selected, you will receive an email at the email address attached to your Behaviour Account with all the information you need to access the build on Steam.
