    What is DayZ?

    The post-soviet country of Chernarus is struck by an unknown virus, turning the majority population into frenzied infected. Fighting over resources has bred a hostile mentality among survivors, driving what’s left of humanity to collapse. You are one of the few immune to the virus - how far will you go to survive?


    This is DayZ, this is your story.

    DayZ is an unforgiving, authentic, open world sandbox online game where each one of 60 players on a server follows a single goal - to survive as long as they can, by all means necessary. There are no superficial tips, waypoints, built-in tutorials or help given to you. Every decision matters - with no save games, and no extra lives, every mistake can be lethal. If you fail, you lose everything and start over.

    Scavenging for supplies and roaming the open world never feels safe in DayZ, as you never know what's behind the next corner. Hostile player interactions, or simply just struggling through severe weather can easily turn into intense, nerve-racking moments where you experience very real emotions. On the other hand, meeting with another friendly survivor in DayZ can lead to a true friendship that lasts a lifetime...

    Your choices and your decisions create a gameplay experience that's completely unique and unequivocally personal - unmatched by any other multiplayer game out there. This is DayZ, this is your story.

    DayZ Alpha has been available for early adopters since December 16th from Steam for 23.99 Euro. Please 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.

    I already own the game and I have spent more than 550 hours in it.

    It is not worth buying at this moment.

    All the promises that were made from the get go were broken and the updates are very rare. I think it goes down to 1 semi-good update per YEAR.

    It was supposed to be out of beta by this time, considering the promises they had made.

    Don't feed people that lie with money.

    • Source doesn't think starve.io is an alternative to DayZ
      Technically complete dissimilar, but voting it down because it's an annoying and laggy game. The idea is good, but need to increase the performance drastically and don't make the menus to restart so annoying when you're going to die every 2 minutes at most everytime as a beginner.
