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.
Enter Livonia
Teeming with wildlife, ruins, and hidden locations, Livonia offers 163 km2 of fields, forests, and mysterious landscape – a unique new experience that will appeal to newcomers and DayZ veterans alike.
Explore the Land
An exciting variety of undiscovered locations awaits the brave and adventurous. Explore murky swamps, abandoned hunting cabins, sawmills and deforested areas, as well as massive quarries containing stashes of leftover explosives.
Follow the bear
Livonia’s food supply is scarce. If you want to survive, you’ll have to learn how to hunt, fish, and forage in the unforgiving wilderness. Luckily, the land appears to be more alive now than it ever was before the apocalypse.
Discover the secret
Venture south and find the hidden entrance that leads to a mysterious underground complex. Make sure you’re with a friend while you look for a way in. And don’t forget to bring some supplies, especially a flashlight. Otherwise you might get lost in the darkened maze of corridors awaiting all who enter.

Absolutely Worth Buying - Don't Trust the Naysayers
I've poured thousands of hours into DayZ, and I can confidently say that this game is absolutely worth your time and money. Don't let the negative reviews from people who have only played for a few hours discourage you.
DayZ offers an unparalleled survival experience that few games can match. The vast open world, intense player interactions, and realistic survival mechanics create a gripping atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more. The learning curve can be steep, but once you get the hang of it, the game becomes incredibly rewarding.
The community is vibrant and varied, with many dedicated players who are just as passionate about the game as I am. Whether you enjoy PvP, base building, or simply exploring the beautiful, desolate landscape, DayZ has something for everyone.
One crucial aspect to consider is the server you choose to play on. Your choice of server can significantly impact your experience. Some servers focus on hardcore survival, while others offer more PvE or role-playing opportunities. Take the time to find a server that aligns with your play style to get the most out of the game.
I don't understand how people can compare Rust to DayZ. While both are open-world survival games, DayZ is rooted in realism and immersion, whereas Rust has a more arcade-like feel. The only real similarity is the survival aspect, but the experiences they offer are vastly different.
Yes, the game has its bugs and quirks, but the developers are constantly working to improve it. The frequent updates and new content keep the experience fresh and exciting.
In conclusion, DayZ is a must-buy for anyone looking for a deep and immersive survival game. Trust the opinions of those who have truly experienced the game and understand its depth and complexity. This game isn't for the faint of heart, but for those willing to invest the time, it's an unforgettable adventure.
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
Day Z is an amazing multiplayer survival game in which you need time to grasp most of the important mechanics that the game offers. The game itself is not bad; it's a great way to play with friends and have fun encounters with other players. Don't trust anyone because they'll betray you anyway ;). Difficult but enjoyable. A solid 10/10 from me.
Its incredible! Also the one behind Instant gaming and all the team needs a raise this is unbelievable. There’s Giveaway, Cheap games for everyone Console, pc, mobile, And different platforms like steam and GOG… i love it
horrible, no loot, boring, just walking between houses to find a shirt, a jacket, get killed, repeat. Theres no crafting, no base building, there barely vehicles i guess, but all i could find were trashed
Everything in this game is awesome. Looting, questing, PVE and PVP. It's all good. This game is a masterpiece, especially if you love survival games. You definently never rage playing this game.
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.
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
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
good game yes its many good game and not bad game. I like it because good game and not bad game if you know what i mean haha im many funny. Good game not bad at all only some buggy stuff and crash sometimes but its not too bad. Worth the money for good fun experience haha.
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.
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
best encounters game, lots of crafting and real survival issues to deal with. The map is huge and there is a lot of place to find loot. Few bugs are still remaining and you have to be patient for updates ...
Wonderful game since it just got updated, boosted the player count somewhat a lot. Totally Recommend trying out! Get a good and a big group of friends for this game, since you will need them. The fore...
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.
