The Walking Dead is coming to Dead by Daylight
New survivors enter the fold, as players will be able to select from two iconic Walking Dead characters. You could choose to play as Rick Grimes, the main protagonist of The Walking Dead . The Rick Grimes character will feature original voice acting from Andrew Lincoln, who portrayed the character in the long-running television series.
Players can also select Michonne, katana-wielding badass and Rick's wife in the series. These new survivors will each feature three unique character perks that make them uniquely suited for post-apocalyptic survival while emphasizing teamwork.
Behaviour is also including Daryl Dixon, who served as the show's main protagonist following Rick Grimes' departure in 2019, in the form of a Legendary Outfit. This means players can apply a Daryl Dixon skin to an existing survivor, maintaining the underlying survivor's perks and mechanics. The Daryl Legendary Outfit includes new voice lines by Norman Reedus, who portrays Daryl in The Walking Dead .
The crossover will also feature iconic set pieces from the television show, like the 'Don't Open, Dead Inside' hospital doors from the pilot episode. These elements will appear when players have selected Rick or Michonne and load into the Garden of Joy map.
Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead is available to play now on PC in Public Test Build through Steam, while the full chapter will be released on all platforms July 29.

GOG is giving away a selection of adult games to protest censorship
In partnership with developers, game marketplace GOG (Good Old Games) has launched a new website called that'll let you download select "adult" games for free. GOG believes the website takes a stand "against the quiet erasure of creative works from digital shelves," a response of sorts to recent decisions from Steam and Itch to delist certain violent and sexuality-explicit games from their respective platforms. GOG is currently offering 13 games for free for the next 48 hours, some with well-known scandals and others that seem to fall into the "NSFW visual novel" bucket that makes up the majority of sexually-explicit games on digital storefronts. The titles available to download are: Leap of Love Being a DIK — Season 1 Leap of Faith POSTAL 2 House Party HuniePop Lust Theory Agony + Agony Unrated Treasure of Nadia Summer's Gone — Season 1 Fetish Locator Week One Helping the Hotties Sapphire Safari POSTAL 2, a graphically violent open-world game, is a notable inclusion because it was banned in New Zealand in 2004 and delisted from the German version of Steam in 2016. HuniePop, one of several "adult-only" games Twitch streamers are explicitly forbidden to stream, makes sense on the list, too. GOG has made a concerted effort to preserve games of all types, including maintaining them so that they run on current hardware. The point of making these games available to download is as much about preservation as it is about highlighting how apparently easy it is to pressure digital storefronts to remove content, though. Valve's decision to delist titles from Steam was chalked up to a new rule that requires games to abide by the standards set by the payment processors that work with Steam. Itch offered a similar explanation for the delistings on its storefront, pointing to pressure payment processors were receiving from a nonprofit called Collective Shout. In the process, indie games like VILE: Exhumed have been delisted, primarily for depicting things that might make a certain group of people uncomfortable. Itch, for its part, seems to be trying to bring back as many games to its storefront as it can. The platform is restoring free NSFW games, and says it's still in talks with its payment partners about restoring paid games to its storefront.

Itch.io Is Restoring NSFW Games—as Long as They're Free
Aug 1, 2025 12:24 PM Facing pressure from payment processors, the indie game platform delisted many adult titles this week. began offering free NSFW content again on Thursday as it looks for new payment options. On Thursday indie gaming platform began reindexing some of the adult content it had delisted last month amidst pressure from conservative groups and payment processors over its hosting of NSFW titles. While the move returns some content to the site's searchable catalogue it only impacts those games, comics, and other offerings that are already free, and therefore not caught in the current payment debacle. 'We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be re-introducing paid content slowly to ensure we can confidently support the widest range of creators in the long term,' Itch founder Leaf Corcoran wrote in a post on the site. Itch and gaming platform Steam began delisting or outright removing games with adult content in July. Conservative group Collective Shout targeted both platforms as part of what the group says was an effort to get what it alleges are 'rape and incest' games removed from the platforms. Valve, which runs Steam, began removing hundreds of games after Collective Shout put pressure on its payment processors, urging the banking institutions not to do business with the company over the content on its platform. When the group did the same thing to Itch's payment processors, Itch reportedly delisted more than 20,000 titles with NSFW tags, sparking protest campaigns against financial institutions like Visa and Mastercard. The delistings have impacted thousands of creators, including marginalized developers who identify as queer, trans, and BIPOC. If Itch can't come to an agreement with its payment processors the company will effectively be unable to sell anything to customers. Corcoran says that one of its earliest processors, Stripe, has confirmed that 'they will not be able to support adult content that fits the following definition: 'content designed for sexual gratification.'' In a statement given to WIRED, Mastercard says it has 'not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity' on gaming platforms. 'Our payment network follows standards based on the rule of law,' spokesperson Seth Eisen says. 'Put simply, we allow all lawful purchases on our network. At the same time, we require merchants to have appropriate controls to ensure Mastercard cards cannot be used for unlawful purchases, including illegal adult content.' When asked how the company was identifying illegal adult content on the platforms, Eisen directed WIRED to a policy the company posted in 2021 stipulating that vendors use "strong content control measures on sites where our products are accepted." Itch and Valve's removals have been unpopular with both the gaming community and creators. On Steam, some developers believe their games have been unfairly impacted as part of Collective Shout's efforts. Vile: Exhumed creator Cara Cadaver tells WIRED that she believes her game was kicked off of Steam because of 'sexual content with depictions of real people,' which she says is inaccurate. 'Anyone who got the chance to play the game knows it is all implied,' Cadaver says. 'The game has a lot of gore and violent themes but that was the reason given.' Cadaver says that not being able to release on Steam 'drastically decreases' the game's potential reach. 'Steam is the largest video game storefront,' she says. 'Less people will be able to play Vile or even know it exists.' Valve has not responded to multiple requests for comment. The company confirmed to PC Gamer in July it had removed some games that violated 'rules and standards set forth by our payment processors and their related card networks and banks.' Corcoran's post on Thursday noted Itch will be adding a new 'content warnings' system for NSFW pages. The founder previously told WIRED that the platform is seeking alternative payment processors. Valve has yet to address changes to its platform since the initial news.

Itch.io starts reindexing free NSFW content
Digital storefront is reindexing its free adult games, and is talking to its partnered payment processors about plans to gradually reintroduce paid NSFW content. In a new Developer Update , the company said the decision will ensure it can "confidently support the widest range of creators in the long term." has instructed developers and creators who want their games back on the store to tick a 'no payments' box that sits in the pricing section of a game's edit page. It adds that any game that uses "individually priced files' will have those files converted into free content by checking the box. The company is also introducing a new content warnings system for NSFW-tagged pages, which it says all page owners are required to update accordingly before being reindexed. says it has talked to one of its long-standing payment processors, Stripe, about its policies on explicit adult content, and said it will no longer be able to take payments for games deemed to be "designed for sexual gratification" via the platform. This is due to new restrictions enforced by Stripe's banking partners. In a statement included in the update, Stripe said it hasn't closed the door on the possibility of being able to support adult content again in the future. In the meantime, says it is talking to its other payment partners about accepting the card payments Stripe is currently no longer able to process. The future of adult content on appears to be uncertain. It was only last week that all NSFW games on the platform were deindexed and hidden, following the new payment processor policies. The sudden and frustratingly vague rules Steam and introduced to remain in compliance with those payment processors have resulted in unjust casualties. This week, solo developer Cara Cadaver told Engadget that her game, VILE: Exhumed , has been removed from and banned by Steam on the basis of it having scenes of "sexual content with depictions of real people," a description she says is not accurate. VILE: Exhumed is a mainly text-based game, and has been well received in previews, landing a spot on Six One Indie 's Best of PAX East roundup back in May. Steam's decision to remove the game is not eligible for appeal.
