Dead By Daylight Developer Behaviour Interactive Lays Off 45 Employees

Behaviour Interactive has confirmed layoffs of 45 employees this month to GameIndustry.Biz. The Dead By Daylight developer says this move impacts less than 3% of its total workforce, about 1,300 staff. The layoffs impacted employees of the Montreal staff exclusively and occurred between January 9th and 11th. 

"Recently, changing market conditions necessitated adjusting the scope of several Behaviour projects," a spokesperson for the studio said. "In these situations, our preference is always to reassign talent to other projects. Unfortunately, this option is not always available to us. These departures represented less than 3% of our total workforce."

This follows previous layoffs within the company that took place in December.

2023 was a year of acquisitions for Behaviour Interactive as they picked up SockMonkey Studios in February and Codeglue in August. Behaviour also started a UK studio from scratch back in July.
