Dead by Daylight Stars Invade the Quarantine Zone

So, Devolver Digital has officially done it again, because their new game, Dead by Daylight’s unexpected vacation spot, is actually a huge hit. I’m talking about Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, that weird apocalyptic admin simulator from Brigada Games. It just dropped earlier this week, and they’re already announcing it cleared over 300,000 copies sold. People really love filling out forms during the apocalypse, I guess. But then they drop this bombshell free update that throws four specific survivors from Dead by Daylight right into the quarantine zone!

Quarantine Zone Welcomes Four Familiar Faces

Seriously, Dwight Fairfield, Meg Thomas, Claudette Morel, and Jake Park are now just wandering around Dead by Daylight’s pool of regular survivors. You’re doing your boring checkpoint duty, and suddenly you see Dwight cowering behind a barrel. What do you even do with him? That’s the million-dollar question, and it’s totally up to you. Do you stamp his form “Approved” or just send him back out into the monster-filled wasteland? You have all the power now, and honestly, it feels pretty good to be the one in charge for once, instead of running from a killer.

Now, before you rush to load up your old save file, pump the brakes. You can only run into these Dead by Daylight folks if you start a completely new game. Yeah, I know, it’s a bit of a bummer. You’ve got your 100-hour save file, and now you have to start over just to see Meg try to file for a housing permit? It’s a tough break. But hey, the devs hear your frustration loud and clear. They promise an update is coming soon that will inject these characters into your existing saves, so you won’t have to abandon your meticulously organized spreadsheets forever.

Existing Players Left Out Of Crossover Chaos

And to really sweeten the pot, Devolver and Behaviour Interactive cooked up a Steam bundle. If you somehow missed buying Quarantine Zone or Dead by Daylight (do you live under a rock?), you can grab them together for a discount. It’s a perfect chance to finally see what all the generator-repairing fuss is about.

If you’re already a Dead by Daylight veteran but haven’t dipped your toes into the thrilling world of post-apocalyptic bureaucracy, you save an extra 10% on top of the launch discount. So you’re getting a steal on a game where you play as the one guy who might actually be more terrifying than The Trapper: a government employee with a stamp.

Survivors Discover Paperwork Is Final Boss

Think about the sheer comedy of it all. Here are these survivors, used to looping killers and dodging hatchets, and now their biggest threat is getting their paperwork rejected. Claudette tries to use her botany knowledge to prove her medicinal herb garden is zoned correctly. Jake, being the loner he is, probably just refuses to fill out the forms at all.

This ultimately forces you to hunt him down through the city ruins with a clipboard of citations. What happens when you stamp Dwight’s form “Denied”? Does he just explode? The game doesn’t say, but the possibilities are endlessly entertaining. It’s a chaotic crossover that nobody saw coming, but it works perfectly.

Stamp Of Approval Now Decides Survivor Fates

Let’s be real, who saw Dead by Daylight characters as the hot new DLC for a game about managing a quarantine zone? It’s the most random pairing since peanut butter and pickles. And yet, here we are, thrilled at the chance to make Dwight Fairfield’s day just a little bit worse. It’s a power trip of the highest order. You’ve spent hours getting sacrificed for the Entity, and now you get to deny Meg her request for additional food rations. Sweet, sweet cosmic justice.

Honestly, this collaboration just proves that Dead by Daylight characters can literally show up anywhere. The Entity’s realm is vast, but apparently, it now includes a cubicle farm. Maybe next they’ll show up in a farming simulator or a cooking game. Claudette would probably thrive in Stardew Valley. Meg would just run through the crops. The point is, this update is hilarious, unexpected, and gives you a perfect excuse to fire up Quarantine Zone again. Just try not to be too mean to Dwight. Okay, be a little mean. He kind of deserves it.

Checkpoint Simulator Cashes In On Denials

Following the release of this weird zombie-border checkpoint simulator, it’s shown to be doing way better than anyone expected. While they didn’t give exact player numbers this time, which feels suspicious, they did confirm it’s still hauling in cash. Remember when Quarantine Zone: The Last Check launched on January 12, 2026, and sold 150,000 copies on day one? Wild, right? By February 2, they announced it had already hit 750,000 copies sold. But wait, isn’t it also on Game Pass? That means the actual number of people playing this paperwork simulator is probably way, way higher than those sales figures suggest.

You have to wonder, how much money is a game about stamping “DENIED” on refugee forms actually raking in? Seriously, who is throwing money at this concept? Well, analytics services like VG Insights figure the Steam version alone has already pulled in around $10.3 million gross. Another service, Gamalytic, puts it even higher at $11.6 million. Not too shabby for a game where your biggest weapon is a rubber stamp.

Then, just yesterday, the studio head Stas Starykh hopped on Telegram to brag a little about where all that cash is coming from. North America apparently loves denying entry, accounting for 40% of the revenue. Western Europe follows with 31%. Russia? They chipped in a solid 4%, probably from players who find the bureaucratic nightmare oddly comforting. But here’s the real question that’s burning in my mind: with all this success, do you think they’ll ever add a Dead by Daylight crossover?

Dead By Daylight Survivors Seek Entry Visas

Can you imagine Dwight Fairfield showing up at your checkpoint, covered in scratches, desperately trying to get a travel visa out of the Entity’s realm? What form would he even need to fill out? A T-342 “Request for Relocation Due to Supernatural Persecution”? The thought alone is hilarious. You’d have Meg trying to sprint past the gate without stopping, forcing you to chase her down with a stack of citations.

Claudette would probably try to grow a convincing fake ID using plants. And Jake? He’d just sabotage the checkpoint’s power generator so the gate opens automatically. Honestly, a Dead by Daylight crossover would be the perfect chaotic addition to this game. Let us reject those survivors’ entry permits, Devolver. Give us the power we’ve always wanted.
