On November 17, 2021, the Stranger Things DLC packs were pulled from digital storefronts, mainly due to the license’s expiration.

Now, if you’re hoping to add these characters to your game, you’ll need to pray that you’re not getting scammed off of a 3rd Party key seller site. you can also check into sites like eBay to purchase a Stranger Things edition copy of the game for your console of choice. These can still cost quite a bit, and due to the lack of cross-progression in the game, they will be locked to your specific console & tag.

Will The Stranger Things DLC Ever Return To Dead by Daylight?

There is a small light at the end of the tunnel, or maybe it’s just a Survivor trying to get a flashlight save; it’s hard to tell.

It seems like this will be a pack that’s lost to time and unknown factors, so we may need to look on in envy of those who could get their hands on it when it was available.
