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."

They definitely still need to work alot of tweaks out but its an amazing game!

This game still has so many bugs in it.

It sounds like there are lots of flaws with this game, but there are 3 million people on it?

Early Access is the death of video gaming. I doubt DayZ will get out of Early Access, seeing as Rust was completely abandoned.

Inq So many sales but the game isn't even finished damn..


I know right, I might make a half done game and sell it lol.


Wait, you made H1Z1? cause that game it not even 15% done.


Ofc it's not completed, that's why it is called Early Access. The biggest problem with H1Z1 is the pay to win. Ruins the game completely, and the fact that the devs straight up lied saying the game would have no pay to win aspects


Exactly why H1Z1 sucks so bad.
Terrible launch + pay to win = trash game


I agree, They said the pay to win shit wouldnt happen, But it did, Bad developers.


The offered no questions asked refund. They turned their wrong into a right.
Besides "the pay to win" doesn't even seem as bad as everyone says.

Although most, if not all zombie survivor games are bad and fundamentally flawed due to the player base which makes them pvp w/ AI enemies (zombies) which become more of a background thing.

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


I doubt it. I mean its poorly optimized on PC and even after all this time they really haven't seemed to make any real improvements.

I have Day Z on my PC but the frames are pretty bad ! But once I get a better graphics card / RAM it will be a lot better to play :)
