Dead by Daylight's next chapter, Chorus of Sin, is a "community-driven" event that kicks off at the end of August, but you can start playing it up to a month early by winning yourself an early-access code. 

Starting July 30, Dead by Daylight content creators will stream the new Chorus of Sin chapter on Twitch, and tuning in for at least an hour will place you in a drawing that will randomly select winners. Those lucky players will receive Steam codes via email to play the next chapter ahead of its August 25 public date. It'll even get you in before the private test build launches on August 5.

The early-access windows will be limited and spread across the next several days. You can find that schedule below.

  • Thursday, July 30: 12-4 PM ET and 5-9 PM ET
  • Friday, July 31: 8-11 AM ET, 12-4 PM ET and 5-9 PM ET
  • Saturday, Aug. 1: 8-11 AM ET and 12-4 PM ET

If you're interested in trying your luck at getting a code, follow these steps:

  • Create or already have a BHVR account
  • Have your BHVR account linked to Twitch
  • Watch a minimum of one hour of Chorus of Sin Early Access streams labeled with the “Drops Enabled” tag

Not everyone who qualifies will get a code, but given that it's free other than an hour of your time, it's worth a shot if you're looking to check out the next chapter weeks in advance.

Chorus of Sin is the first-ever DBD chapter built by the community. It'll feature a new original killer, The Judgment, as well as a new original survivor, Aurora, both of whom are characters that the game's player base helped imagine.
