ReShade for Dead by Daylight

ReShade is a post-processing tool that applies visual filters to the game in real time, without modifying it internally. It's used to improve the colours, lighting and visibility of Dead by Daylight… even without a powerful graphics card.

What you get

Make your game look better

Here are some of the effects you can enable (and fine-tune to taste) with ReShade.

Colour and contrast

Fake HDR and colour correction: deeper blacks, richer tones and a much punchier image.

Lighting and bloom

Softer, more realistic lights, with a natural glow that gives every map depth.

Depth of field

Background blur to give your clips and screenshots a cinematic feel.

Better visibility

Tune clarity and shadows to read loops, items and the killer better in dark areas.

Fake ray tracing

Simulated reflections and shading that mimic ray tracing without the real performance cost.

Your own style

Anime-style cel shading, film grain, vignette, smoothed edges… the look is up to you.
