Is Dead by Daylight available on Mac?
No, it does not run on Mac. Dead by Daylight is online only and protected by Easy Anti-Cheat, which does not run on macOS through CrossOver or any other compatibility layer. There is no single-player mode to fall back on, so the game cannot be played on a Mac today. Linux compatibility ratings do not apply here: that anti-cheat ships a Linux version, but not a Mac one.
