DayZ hits record player numbers almost 10 years after launch

Not even a decade of existence could daunt one of the most influential titles in gaming history, as DayZ broke its own record in concurrent players 10 years after launch. A recent update, equally strange and significant, has prompted players to give the zombie sim another go.

DayZ has hit a new high of 69,372 players, six thousand more than its previous peak in January 2023. The game’s seeing unprecedented popularity, as according to Steam Charts, it’s peaking at more than double the players on its release day in 2018. In those times, the game averaged between 15 and 20 thousand concurrent players, and it’s been recording massive peaks in the last year or two.
