DayZ hits Steam Early Access right in the head

4.5
The zombies are finally here! Hooray! DayZ is now available for PC on Steam Early Access for $30. As always, those who buy the early version will get the final build when it launches – and developer Bohemia Interactive is certain to note that the current release is truly an unfinished version of the game:

"DayZ Early Access is your chance to experience DayZ as it evolves throughout its development process. Be aware that our Early Access offer is a representation of our core pillars, and the framework we have created around them. It is a work in progress and therefore contains a variety of bugs. We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle."

This echoes the sentiment from DayZ creator Dean Hall earlier this month, when he cautioned potential players that the Early Access version would be "barebones." Still, YouTubers are encouraged to show the world what DayZ's bones look like, Hall says on Twitter.

DayZ hit Early Access with a launch trailer, but that was pulled from Steam for being too graphic.

iLewis Been playing it all last night, it's great. Yes there are bugs, because it's in alpha, but to be honest I haven't found many, maybe 1 or 2.


I'd personally rather wait till Beta or full release to buy the game.

The only part I think is graphic/disturbing is probably when that chick killed herself. It is a good representation of DayZ though. It's $30, which is kind of steep for an alpha but I believe they said they're going to make it work like minecraft where the price gets higher as it gets more developed. So buy it now while it's at it's cheapest price during Alpha.

Yea I could see why the trailer was taken down. I never played DayZ but I heard this game was good.
