How to play the DBD Stranger Things Chapter 2 PTB

You can only play the Dead By Daylight Stranger Things Chapter 2 PTB if you own BeHaviour Interactive’s multiplayer horror game on Steam. Assuming you own DBD on Steam, you can play the public test build for free by following the steps below:

  • Right-click Dead By Daylight in your Steam library
  • Select “Properties”
  • Head into “Betas”, then select Public Test Build from the list

All of the perks for Eleven and Dustin are maxed out at Tier 3 in the PTB, allowing you to experience their most powerful versions. However, once the PTB finishes on January 13, this progress will not carry over to the chapter’s full release.

Eleven and Dustin are two of the most iconic characters in Stranger Things, as they were both heavily present in all five seasons since the series’ debut in 2016 to its conclusion in January 2026.  

In the first Dead By Daylight Stranger Things Chapter released in 2019, the Survivors were Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington. With Stranger Things Chapter 2, BeHaviour Interactive has also added Legendary skins for characters Eddie Munson and Robin Buckley. These Legendary skins are cosmetics that visually transform Eleven into Robin and Dustin into Eddie.

Although the PTB is available to play now, the Dead By Daylight Stranger Things Chapter 2 release date isn’t until January 27. However, before the collaboration with Netflix comes out, don’t forget that Michael Myers from Halloween is leaving DBD on January 19.

Following the release of Stranger Things, the next Dead By Daylight Chapter will be the leaked original Survivor in March. A 2026 roadmap leak shows BeHaviour Interactive’s plans up until the 10th anniversary event in June, and you still have time to pre-order a special and limited 10th anniversary collector’s set.
