The developer said, “To stay in line with the interim order from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in India, we will be removing Dead by Daylight Mobile from the Storefronts. Once it is removed, players in India will no longer be able to access and play Dead by Daylight Mobile.” Dead by Daylight Mobile is no longer available on Google Play Store and App Store. That said, players who already had the game downloaded on their phones may be able to continue playing. However, they won’t get automatic updates from Google Play Store and App Store.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology have previously banned games like BGMI and Free Fire alongside hundreds of Chinese apps over concerns regarding data security and privacy. These apps were either developed or published by tech companies like Tencent, NetEase, and Alibaba. It’s currently unclear whether any in-game data from Dead by Daylight Mobile was transferred to servers in China. The Indian government is yet to make an official statement regarding the Dead by Daylight Mobile ban. Behaviour Interactive has not revealed any plans regarding bringing the game back in India. The developer said, “We are grateful for your support and will provide further updates on the status of Dead by Daylight Mobile in India when possible.”
