Early Access zombie survival hit DayZ tops 3 million sales

4.6
Publisher Bohemia Interactive has revealed that DayZ, the cult-hit, open-world zombie survival game, has attracted more than three million sales since its debut on Steam's Early Access platform.

DayZ arrives at this milestone only a year after reaching Early Access. Despite pragmatic warnings from DayZ creator Dean "Rocket" Hall that the Early Access version of DayZ is incomplete, the game was an immediate hit, selling over a million copies in its first month, owing largely to the cult following it attracted in its original incarnation: a modification for Bohemia's ArmA 2 first-person military sim.

"We would like to say thank you to every single one of the three million players, that have joined us on the journey of making DayZ," writes project lead David Durcak. "You all have helped make DayZ the best open world, zombie survival game. This is an amazing achievement, and we are really looking forward to start sharing with you all of our game design improvements, anti-hack solutions and other optimizations we have been working on for a majority of the last year."

Well, I hope the majority of these people are enjoying this very broken and unfinished game. Been over a year since the release and it's still Alpha. Brilliant.

They fixed zombies glitching through walls and now they can hit you through them instead! It is way more immersive now that I know zombies can hit me through floors and walls rather than glitching through them. It is awesome now that they can kill me but I cannot kill them.

PS: I was killed by a hacker who stole my darn farm! rip potatoes and yim yams

Staggie This coming to xbox one at all? Would love to give this a go.


Rumours.of people say it might in a couple of years since people say the company where in talks with Microsoft but I doubt it will since theres to much controls for a controller plus the games no where near finished... maybe in like 2017, well have to see.

With all the bugs I have a hard time playing this game at points. Especially when no friends want to play it with me.
