Dead by Daylight on PS4 is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 4,300, available at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This physical disc holds the base game from Behaviour Interactive, a 4v1 asymmetrical horror title where four Survivors repair five generators to power two exit gates while one Killer hunts them down. Dead by Daylight runs natively on PS4 and plays on PS5 through backwards compatibility. The disc carries a Mature 17+ rating for blood, gore, and strong violence. Mascom International stocks Dead by Daylight as a sealed retail copy ready for same-day Nairobi delivery.
Dead by Daylight suits horror fans, university students, and friend groups across Kenya who want online multiplayer without paying for repeated digital purchases. The KSh 4,300 disc hands you the full base game outright, so you avoid large PlayStation Store downloads that eat into capped Safaricom or Airtel home fibre. Each match runs short, which fits gaming sessions squeezed between classes, work shifts, or evening matatu commutes home. Players in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu who share one PS4 between siblings get a title that rewards both quiet solo stealth and loud squad teamwork. The asymmetrical format keeps every single round different.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only digital codes, Mascom International sells Dead by Daylight as a physical disc you can resell, lend, or keep without download limits. Users consistently report that the disc installs in minutes and drops into crossplay lobbies within seconds during busy evening hours. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for affordable multiplayer titles that hold resale value on Kenya's active second-hand games market. Buy Dead by Daylight at our Kimathi Street shop, test it on our display PS4, or order Dead by Daylight for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Dead by Daylight PS4 Game
What is Dead by Daylight and how does it play on PS4?
Dead by Daylight is a 4v1 online horror game where four Survivors try to escape one Killer. Survivors play in third-person and repair five scattered generators to power two exit gates, then flee the map. The Killer plays in first-person, patrols the grounds, and hangs caught Survivors on sacrificial hooks. Maps are procedurally arranged, so layouts shift every match. On PS4 the title supports up to five players per match, blending stealth, chase tactics, and teamwork into rounds that stay tense from start to finish.
Is Dead by Daylight worth KSh 4,300 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 4,300, Dead by Daylight delivers hundreds of hours of replay value through its rotating roster and random maps. The physical disc holds the full base game, so you never re-download the core content or chase digital sale prices. Compared to single-player titles finished in twenty hours, this multiplayer game keeps friend groups returning for months. Each character carries a separate progression track with perks to unlock. For Kenyan students and casual players watching their entertainment budget, the disc gives strong cost-per-hour value against pricier console releases.
Do I need PlayStation Plus to play Dead by Daylight online?
Yes, online multiplayer matchmaking on PS4 requires an active PlayStation Plus subscription, since Dead by Daylight is built around internet play against real opponents. Without PlayStation Plus, you can still launch the game and practice against AI bots in custom matches to learn maps and characters. For full online lobbies with Survivors and Killers worldwide, the subscription is needed. Mascom International stocks PlayStation Plus voucher cards alongside game discs, so you can collect both during one visit to our Nairobi CBD store.
Does Dead by Daylight support crossplay with PS5, Xbox, and PC?
Yes, Dead by Daylight has supported crossplay since August 2020, matching PS4 players with friends on PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Crossplay turns on by default and can be toggled inside the Online settings menu. This larger shared pool means faster matchmaking and shorter queue times during off-peak Kenyan hours. Cross-progression, which carries your unlocks between platforms, remains limited to certain accounts. For Kenyan players whose friends own different consoles, crossplay keeps the whole group in one lobby together.
How many Killers and Survivors come with the disc?
The base Dead by Daylight edition includes 7 Killers and 9 Survivors at no extra cost. Killers cover The Trapper, The Hillbilly, The Wraith, The Nurse, The Hag, The Huntress, and The Doctor, each with a distinct hunting power. Survivors include Meg Thomas, Claudette Morel, and seven others, each with unique perks. Licensed crossover characters from horror franchises sell separately as add-ons. This starting roster gives more than a dozen playstyles to learn before you ever spend on optional downloadable content.
Can I play Dead by Daylight on PS5?
Yes, the PS4 disc plays on PS5 through full backwards compatibility, and the purchase also entitles you to the free digital PS5 version. On PS5 hardware the game loads faster and runs at a steadier frame rate thanks to the console's SSD and stronger graphics chip. Your saved progress and unlocks carry across when you upgrade consoles within the same account. For Kenyan buyers planning a future PS5 purchase, this disc protects your investment by working on both current PlayStation generations.
Is Dead by Daylight suitable for children?
No, Dead by Daylight is rated Mature 17+ by the ESRB for blood and gore, strong language, and graphic violence. Killers use weapons like chainsaws and hooks, and death animations show explicit gore. Online voice and text chat can expose younger players to adult language from strangers. Parents in Kenya should treat this as an adults-and-teens title and use PS4 parental controls to manage access. Mascom International recommends the game for players aged 17 and above who handle horror themes comfortably.
How long does a single Dead by Daylight match last?
A single match usually runs between five and fifteen minutes, depending on how long Survivors evade the Killer and finish generator repairs. Fast rounds end when the Killer sacrifices Survivors quickly, while drawn-out chases stretch matches longer. This short structure fits Kenyan players who want quick sessions between work, study, or load-shedding power gaps. You can play one tense round or queue several back to back across an evening. The bite-sized format makes Dead by Daylight easy to drop into and out of.
Why buy the physical disc instead of the digital download?
The physical disc avoids a large multi-gigabyte download over Kenya's metered home internet, installing directly from the disc instead. You own a tangible copy you can resell on Kenya's used-games market, lend to friends, or keep on a shelf. Digital codes lock the game to one account permanently with no resale value. The disc also frees you from waiting on slow Safaricom or Airtel download speeds during peak hours. For these reasons, Mascom International stocks Dead by Daylight on physical disc for practical Kenyan buyers.
