This is your Story
There are no map markers, daily quests, or scoreboards to help you create your story. There is only Chernarus – 230 square kilometers of post-Soviet country that was struck by an unknown virus, which turned the majority of its population into raging infected.
Your task? To survive the collapse of civilization for as long as you possibly can. Keep in mind that death is permanent in unforgiving Chernarus. All you’ll have when you start over again are the memories of your final mistake.
Meet Others
Up to 60 players are struggling to survive by any means necessary at any given time. Make friends, kill on sight, build a base, or risk being betrayed over a can of tasty beans. Use VOIP to interact with other players however you see fit. Every encounter is meaningful when your life is always on the line. Be wary. Stay alert. Trust no one.
Survive Chernarus
The infected aren’t the only ones you need to worry about – there’s also the wildlife and elements. Evade packs of wolves and frenzied bears, find shelter from the punishing rain, search for light in the darkness of night. You’ll also need to master complex survival mechanics concerning your hunger, thirst, body temperature, and more.
Loot Up
Always make sure your gear is ready. Patch up damaged clothes, craft improvised items, and head out to deceptively dead cities to scavenge for valuable resources. Fix a car and hide it in your secret base under a cover of well-placed traps. Step into contaminated zones if you dare and keep your eyes peeled for precious loot. Don’t forget that you won’t get far without a full hazard suit and gas mask.
Take your Shot
Intense PvP action can break out anywhere at any time, especially in hotspots like abandoned military bases, where heart-pounding firefights are all the rage. Some survivors want your loot, others are simply hunting for sport. Then there are those who are afraid you’ll shoot first. Learn how to fight and know when the time has come to swallow your pride and flee. One bullet can change absolutely everything. Always watch your back.
Install Mods
Head on over to the Steam Workshop and find a customized server that fits. Join an active community of like-minded players and modify your DayZ experience to suit your taste. Browse thousands of fan-made features, maps, and guns – all of which are easily managed directly from the game launcher.
Game's latest news
DayZ team laughs at the failure of The Day Before
The failure of The Day Before has had serious repercussions. Indeed, the FNTASTIC studio was forced to close its doors barely four days after launch. The reason for this was probably economic problems caused by too many refunds.
According to a message that seems to have come from the studio's internal…
To celebrate its tenth anniversary, DayZ sets a new record for concurrent players

Bohemia Interactive's title recently welcomed 69,449 simultaneous players on its Steam servers. This is quite simply the…
DayZ update 1.2.2 now available

Great survival game when you get the hang of the controls great game though i love that large community but its toxic non the less honestly almost never had a issue with the mechanics besides when i started
- large community with tons of servers
- realistic guns, combat mechanics, and realistic health
- official servers take 1 minute and 15 seconds
- when blood is low it makes it black and white which is annoying

I had high hopes as it checked all the boxes for what I've been looking for but playing for roughly less than 2 hours of play i got bored as was playing with a friend and grew bored immediately after not being able to find my buddy. Ended up with a huge headache after getting off the game big pass from me.

Honestly for me the game is a huge waste of money, it isn't like in the videos. Rust is so muche better and funnier than dayZ.
Well, that was my opinion on the game if you thing it is better well good for you

Great game, virtually no bugs, and definitely worth the money. Graphics leave something to be desired, but that is to be expected from a game this old. But definitely worth it for the money. Good game

As a fan of more hardcore survival games and all, Dayz hit the spot, would recommend for anyone interested in big maps with lots of weapons and hardcore PvE.
This is kinda like bigger scale EFT and smaller scale Arma, its truly a masterpiece.

- Uses your GPU more than your CPU, chances are your GPU is stronger so thats good.
- Fairly friendly community
- Looks great and runs very well even on max settings
- Can have quite the Stutters but compared to Arma and other titles its good
- Hard to get into but the experience is fun
- Jumpscares :D

very bad, total waste of my money. i have been plaing rust lately and that is soooo much better. in dayz i only managed to play 2.5 hours, no more. constantly looking for food/water. zombies kill you, find no other supplies.
i find it really strange that there is no map at all on the game, i mean. WTF?
you need to find the map online but youl first need to find a sign to say where you are... trust me dont buy this. complete waste of money

DayZ is a tough one. The vanilla game is insultingly unfinished and not worth the price at all. This game has been out for years and its still in an alpha state basically, its really bad in some places! But then theres mods.... well actually its not just the mods. Luckily, DayZ has some thriving communities to this day and if you get some mods, join a good server and group with some fun people you can have some really awesome experiences. It is so hard to rate this game because it is such a subjective experience; all games are of course, but the places this game can take you can vary so much from person to person. You have some people with thousands of hours of playtime who will tell you DayZ is videogame gold and then you can have someone who looks at the base game and rightfully calls it a piece of trash.
- potential for great and varied experiences
- mods (!)
- some very nice communities
- tons of bugs
- unfinished
- vanilla game is really bland
- potentially repetitive

Trying to be honest:
I enjoyed Dayz for the first few days. Sure, technical issues here and there, but the exploration and looting were fine.
Then stuff went down quick:
I've spent the last days grinding and looting around to build some sort of base and storage. During one of my usual drives to a Milbase, my game had a brutal CTD that I have never experienced before (Excess of memory usage I suppose). I came back on a couple minutes later, just to find out that my Survivor had died, my car had despawned and my stuff, including the base, had disappeared.
Server admins couldn't help me, as stuff like this is almost normal.
I mean, I didn't spend too much money on this game, but why the hell are these technical issues still there after so much time? This is NOT how you manage a game.
Seven days, and I've already had my fill.

- The "original" survival game
- Way too many technical issues
- Updates that force community admins to wipe servers everytime
- Too frustrating

Das Game ist Tod,viele Server keine Spieler man rennt 20 km um eine Axt zu finden und wird dann nach 30 min farmen ehrenlos von einem russischen Random weggeballert und fängt den ganzen Müll von vorne an.
30 Euro ist ein Witz.
Kauft euch nicht so ein Dreck
