DayZ coming to Xbox Game Preview “at some point this year”, PS4 “event

4.1
DayZ will be coming to Xbox Game Preview “at some point this year” and to PS4 “eventually” according to the DayZ development team on Twitter.

DayZ has been in Early Access alpha since 2013, and will hit Xbox Game Preview once it launches in beta. The team are currently working on update 0.63 which introduces a number of core features to the game. The significant update was slated to come out last year, but has been pushed because things like vaulting, swimming and vehicles weren’t ready for an experimental release.

Since it started life as an Arma 2 mode, much of DayZ’s protracted development has focused on redeveloping the game’s engine to more closely suit its needs, removing unnecessary bloat and features and replacing them with new ones.

Lead producer Eugen Harton provided a list of new things coming with the 0.63 update in his November DayZ status report.

The full list is as follows:
New crafting
New central economy
New zombies
New animals
Completely revamped ranged combat with much more manual control
Completely revamped melee combat with combos and evading mechanics
New and quite significant map changes
Diseases that “mix things up”
Injuries that change your movement
New movement and stealth
Redefined spawns
New damage system and hitzones for both players and animals
New visuals for particles or blood
New animation system that makes everything “so frickin smooth”
Remade buildings
More players per server
More zombies per server
Fewer network issues
Stability fixes

Biwwy This game was under-rated.

Excited to see it on Xbox one!


It is not underrated. This game used to be huge until H1 and Fortnite and PUBG came out. This is going to be a good addition though.


The game was dead when these games weren't even out I believe. It just didn't have the fun in it to keep it alive for so long.


Ehh i believe it became dead when most people didnt have the rig to run it at home.


No rig could run it well, it was very very broken at release. So everyone just gave up hope i think.


Been watching way before release, never been disappointed. If this genuinely comes to console I will be getting it.

It was under rated because it was trash lol, just my view on the matter


I personally think it was perfect, it depends on the streamers you watch though. I never got a chance to play it as I don't have a PC. So bringing it to Xbox would change that.


The game was for sure under-rated for some time.

Original_Lay This is something Microsoft can push forward in. Having these Pc games launch only for Xbox will certainly boost their hardware. Not to mention cross-play.... It's a big win.

Microsoft only ever focus on themselves and the money, it's all down to them.

Hang on, they mentioned it at a PS event? Also, I can't wait, been watching A LOT of streamers and gameplays of DayZ. Could have massive potential!

The specs needed for this game really arent that high though. A laptop can run this game if its not an acer.


Dang after reading this... my PC is trash and I need to upgrade now... When i tried to play it, it was lagging and horrilble graphics and my computer was like a jet engine....
