Dead by Daylight Developer Behaviour Interactive Cuts Jobs in April 2026

What’s Happening at Behaviour Interactive?

Behaviour Interactive, the Canadian video game studio behind Dead by Daylight, has reportedly trimmed its workforce in 2026.

“A portion of Behaviour Interactive’s business has traditionally focused on external development partnerships. In recent months, demand for mobile and casual external development projects has declined,” a spokesperson said in a statement to Game Developer.

“[These] decisions are never easy, and we are grateful for the contributions of the affected employees, who have helped shape Behaviour and support our partners over the years.”

The exact number of Canadian jobs affected remains unclear. According to LinkedIn, the company currently employs more than 1,000 people in the country.
