DayZ sales have passed 800,000 in under one month

4.6
DayZ sales have already passed Bohemia Interactive’s “very ambitious” plans for the survival horror sandbox.

Writing on Reddit, creator Dean “Rocket” Hall said he would have considered 250,000 sales in three months a success.

“So to move nearly 800,000 in under a month is crazy,” he said, revealing the latest sales figures.

The new milestone follows several others; DayZ managed 88,000 sales in tis first 12 hours, 172,200 sales in its first 24 hours, and topped the Steam charts at Christmas on the back of 400,000 sales in its first week.

“We’ll be finalising our roadmap in mid January, but it is safe to say that this kind of result will be having a very positive effect on that roadmap,” Hall added.

DayZ, commonly referred to as “DayZ standalone” to distinguish it from the ArmA mod it originated as, is currently in early access alpha on Steam. Hall has described it as in a very rough state and for hardcore fans only, but it has been well-received anyway. It’s one of our most anticipated games of 2014.

Reb It's great but a bit annoying that you need to pay, or just me that thinks so?


Its no longer a mod so they actually want to make money from the content they are making.
Imagine if ubisoft made assassins creed freewhen it first came out? I know its a bad example but the companies want the customer to buy what took them time effort and money to create

Third_Eye It's shocking to see how many people are fine with a beat version of Day Z that needs a lot of fixes. I don't play DayZ myself, so I don't know how it feels to play standalone, but can't people just stick with the mod? Standalone's probably gonna get really big the way Minecraft did in a year.
I'm a massive DayZ player, The mod was just, well, unplayable should I say. It was riddled with bugs causing you to die from stupid things like walking up a flight of stairs. Although the standalone is quite boring due to lack of vechicles/other stuff. It is a massive improvement on the mod.
