DayZ standalone sells over one million in four weeks

4.5
DayZ just got another healthy influx of folks who will eventually be shot for a can of beans. The player count for the Early Access standalone version has surpassed one million, Bohemia Interactive CEO and co-founder Marek Španěl announced.

In DayZ, players fight to survive on a zombie-infested island. Perhaps more dangerous than the undead are other players, however, who may kidnap you and force you to fight for sport.

The Early Access alpha is missing a lot of the planned features, which Bohemia Interactive hopes to trickle out over the course of the year. The beta version will be ready no sooner than the end of 2014, while Bohemia has yet to announce when it plans to launch the full game.

Craigyy I can't see my self buying this game at full price, so I'll just wait till it drops in the summer sale maybe...


Being that its in alpha now, the price is only going to get higher near the full release. Picked mine up at the $30 price point because of that reason.

That is insane, especially since the game isn't even in beta yet.

Once I start getting fully back into PC gaming, I am for sure getting this. I have watched a few videos on it and honestly it looks like I would really enjoy this game.

Those are incredible numbers considering the stand alone game is still in alpha stages.

Played for 30 hours, definitely a game to buy, kinda bored until they add more weapons though, but still great.

It's amazing how well DayZ has been selling considering it's only in alpha. I only have about 4 hours logged into the game but it's a ton of fun and it'll only continue to get better as time goes on.

Lia It would be awesome if DayZ would come out on the new consoles, my potato of a computer can't run it :/


hahaha your not the only one Lia, my computer isnt the best, I agree that if it was on consoles it would be an awesome branch out, but PC is the main platform for the game at the moment!


It would expand DayZ a lot if it was brought over to console and make the developers a lot more money. I can't see it happening anytime soon if it ever happens that is, since it's still in development and will be for a long time.
