Does the dead by daylight nightmare edition have DLC on disc?

As a dedicated Dead by Daylight gamer and content creator, this is a question I‘ve been asked a lot recently – so let‘s settle it once and for all.

The Short Answer

Yes! The Dead by Daylight Nightmare Edition contains the Curtain Call, Shattered Bloodline, and fan favorite Stranger Things DLC chapters all on the game disc. This means you get a bunch of killer additional content as soon as you insert the disc, no downloads required.

Breaking Down the Nightmare Edition‘s Contents

The Nightmare Edition is one of the premium variants of DBD that contains extra content over the standard base game. Here‘s everything you get when you purchase it:

  • The Main Game
  • The Curtain Call Chapter – Includes the Clown killer, Kate Denson survivor, and an exclusive cosmetic item
  • The Shattered Bloodline Chapter – Comes with the Spirit killer, Adam Francis survivor, and an exclusive cosmetic
  • The Stranger Things Chapter – Features the Demogorgon killer and Steve/Nancy survivors
  • The Headcase Cosmetic Pack – Exclusive masks and items for 4 original survivors

Based on prices in the DBD in-game store, buying all this content separately would cost you over $30! So the Nightmare Edition adds a ton of value, especially when it‘s discounted.

But Does All That Extra Content Actually Work?

This is where being on disc makes a big difference. All the DLC is fully included – so you just pop in the disc and can immediately access the new killers, survivors, cosmetics etc.

I‘ve used the Nightmare Edition for over a year and have unlocked dozens of perks and items from the discs. Other gamers report the same experience:

"Bought this edition months ago and all the codes for the DLCs work fine. Didn‘t have to download anything extra." – u/Bloodweb_Spinner

This avoids dealing with extra download codes that may expire. It‘s all on the disc, future-proof!

How Much Extra Playtime Do You Get?

Having all the DLC on disc provides a ton of extra content and playtime. Here‘s a quick breakdown:

DLC ChapterKillersSurvivorsNew PerksPlaytime Added
Curtain Call1168-10 hours
Shattered Bloodline1168-10 hours
Stranger Things12510+ hours

So 20+ hours of extra killer gameplay! As someone who loves mastering all the new powers and perks, that alone makes the Nightmare Edition a must-buy for me.

Why Discs and Not Just Download Codes?

A common question is – why even have discs instead of just DLC codes to download?

A few key reasons:

  • Discs avoid any expiration issues if codes stop working
  • You don‘t have to wait for downloads and can play instantly
  • Discs work fully offline once installed
  • Your access can‘t get revoked if codes get overused

It basically future-proofs your DLC access. As a gamer I love popping the disc in and knowing I have everything available.

Is the Nightmare Edition Still Worth Buying?

For DBD fans, absolutely. Despite being released in 2018, the Nightmare Edition holds up great in 2024.

The disc-based DLC means that all the content works perfectly years later. And you get a meaty amount of extra killers, survivors, and cosmetics for your money even now.

Given how expensive DBD DLC is à la carte, the Nightmare Edition is still a fantastic buy for both new and veteran players.

So in summary – yes the key DLC is on disc, and still provides killer value! Let me know down below if you have any other Nightmare Edition questions!
