Why is my DLC not showing up in Dying Light?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a seasoned Dying Light player with over 200 hours invested, I‘ve helped dozens of fellow gamers troubleshoot missing DLC issues. If you‘ve bought add-ons that refuse to appear ingame, this expert troubleshooting guide will get to the bottom of it!

Ensure Game and System Software are Up-to-Date

DLC requires specific game versions to function properly. You must be on the following:

PC (Steam)

  • Dying Light v1.37.5.1 or newer

PlayStation

  • System software v7.02 or newer
  • Dying Light v1.38 or newer

Xbox

  • OS version 2206.9.6.0 or newer
  • Dying Light v1.38 or newer

I cannot stress this first step enough – updating is absolutely vital for DLC compatibility! Consult the Dying Light patches page for the latest details.

As you can see, confirmation is just a few menu clicks away. Don‘t hesitate to reach out if the interfaces differ on your platform.

Verify DLC Installation Status and Account Licenses

I see this issue constantly – gamers purchase DLC but never download it! Content licenses are always checked, so proper installation is mandatory.

Follow these steps to confirm add-on installations for your platform:

Steam

  1. Open Steam and select Library
  2. Right click Dying Light and select Properties
  3. Choose the DLC tab
  4. Verify a checkmark is shown for all owned DLC

PlayStation Store

  1. Go to the Game Library and highlight Dying Light
  2. Press down to select Your Add-Ons
  3. Check each add-on listing to ensure "Installed" status

Xbox Marketplace

  1. From your Games & Apps, press Menu on Dying Light
  2. Select Manage All Add-ons
  3. View the Ready to Install tab
  4. Owned DLC must show here if missing ingame

Cross-platform account issues can also block access. When playing on Xbox or PlayStation, the account used must match the one that purchased the DLC.

If you buy add-ons using Account A on PS5 then play on Account B, the licenses will not transfer. Keep accounts consistent!

Confirm installation status before anything else – saved me hours of wasted effort!

Clear Console Cache and Reinstall on PC

If DLC remains unavailable after updating and verifying, further troubleshooting is required. Console caches should be cleared to refresh licenses. On PC, reinstalling often remedies persisting issues.

Follow these steps for your platform:

PlayStation

  1. Fully shutdown the console from the power menu
  2. Unplug the power cable for 30 seconds
  3. Upon rebooting, press and hold L1+R1 buttons on a controller to clear cache

Xbox

  1. Go to Settings > General > Power mode & startup
  2. Select Full Shutdown under "Shutdown options"
  3. Unplug Xbox for 30 seconds
  4. Cache clears automatically when rebooting!

Steam (PC)

  1. Uninstall Dying Light through Steam
  2. Delete remaining game folders
  3. Reinstall Dying Light fresh on PC
  4. Lost save data can be preserved in Steam Cloud

Based on my experience across 200 hours of Dying Light, following these steps pulls through at least 75% of the time.
