Arguably the biggest chapter in Dead By Daylight history is nearly here. Five Nights At Freddy’s has been anticipated ever since its announcement, and, thanks to the anniversary, we now know Springtrap is the killer and that there will be a map. While the full release date for DBD on all platforms is scheduled for June, fans on PC can play early via the public-test build. Here you will find the release date and start time countdown for when the Dead By Daylight x FNAF PTB will come out, along with how to play.

Dead By Daylight FNAF PTB release date

The release date for the Dead By Daylight x Five Nights At Freddy’s PTB is May 27th. This has been confirmed by BeHaviour Interactive on the game’s official X account.

There’s plenty else for fans to anticipate for June besides the crossover with Scott Cawthon’s legendary series. In addition to the launch of Chapter 36, next month will see the return of the Masquerade event. Nothing about this event has been revealed as of writing, but details are incoming. There will also be the release of a new skin collection from The Witcher 3, and there should be a PTB for the two survivors coming out in July, believed to be from The Walking Dead.

When does the Dead By Daylight FNAF PTB start?

The release time for when the Dead By Daylight FNAF PTB will come out and start is 9AM PT/12PM ET/5PM BST on May 27th.

These launch hours have also been confirmed by BeHaviour Interactive on X. The PTB is starting slightly later than usual for DBD because BeHaviour are conducting a livestream at 8AM PT/11AM ET/4PM BST. This stream will go over the Five Nights At Freddy’s Chapter as well as what’s planned for June.

Once the PTB has come out, BeHaviour will also share the patch notes. We’ll be sure to relay the perks for Springtrap the instant they are revealed.

Countdown

Below is a countdown to when the public-test build will start:

Chapter 36 release date

Chapter 36 is expected to come out on all platforms on June 17th. In addition to Springtrap as a killer, the chapter will introduce a map inspired by the first game, and there will also be a Legendary skin from the live-action movie with actor Matthew Lillard reprising his role as William Afton to provide voice over work.

It is arguably the biggest and most anticipated DBD chapter of all time, and, although it’s a shame there’s no survivor, the good news is that we will be compensated with two licensed survivors in July.
