Behaviour Interactive posted the notes for patch 10.2.1 of Dead by Daylight, titled a bugfix patch, on Steam on Oct 14, 2026. Its first item, under Features, concerns the last human survivor in a trial where bots remain. The notes say that when there are no other human survivors and at least one bot, the remaining player gets the option to Surrender, and they add the words "was Abandon" beside it. For killers, the notes say that when all remaining survivors are bots the killer gains the option to End Trial. The notes add that the dying-state condition was removed from that killer option.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7^,8

Behaviour Interactive develops and publishes the game. Beyond the Surrender and End Trial items, the notes run to 71 lines, most of them fixes listed under audio, bots, characters, maps, perks, interface and miscellaneous headings. Killer powers that count a stack, such as the Trickster's and the Huntress's, show a "0" on the power's on-screen element once the stack is used up, where the notes say it showed a looping arrow icon before. The studio also made adjustments to the Mastermind's Virulent Bound to improve redirection. Among the fixes, one covers a crash in trials with the Wraith, and another the Decisive Strike perk, which failed to trigger when killers were in the falling state. A third covers achievements that did not trigger when completing the main generator and escaping on several maps.9^,10^,11^,12^,13^,14^,15

The patch also carries notes for the Haunted By Daylight event, which the studio says started on Oct 13 at 11:00 am Eastern. The studio says the Void Tile from earlier years can no longer be reached, while Void Portals and Void Haunts are present in all trials. Both killers and survivors can gather Void Energy during a trial and spend it on event abilities. Players no longer have to craft in the Void to gain those abilities.16^,17^,18^,19
