The first thing you have to know is that this version is unstable, so you can only access it from the Steam version of the game. But instability aside, PTB is a great way to get a sneak peek at new Survivors, Assassins, Perks, and gameplay adjustments, among other things.

To join you will have to right-click on the game from the Steam library> access Properties> then access the Beta tab from the list on the left side of the window> look in the drop-down menu where it says "select the beta version you want to participate in "> select" public test "> then close the menu> restart Steam.

After the previous process you will have to wait until the game is downloaded and installed again, when it is finished you will be able to access and find the PTB.

To go back to the normal compilation, you will have to repeat the process, but instead you will have to choose "NONE - opt out of all beta programs" from the drop down menu> close, reboot and wait for the installation process to finish.

You must bear in mind that the PTB is saved in a separate profile from the usual one in the game, so the character's progress is not shared between the two. In addition, it is usually only active before a major update and deactivated afterwards, so check quickly if you want to do it.

 That's all you need to know about how to play PTB in Dead by Daylight, so we hope our guide has been as helpful as possible so that you can try this experimental version.
