About DayZ

You start with almost nothing in a post-apocalyptic land overrun by infected. There are no missions or quests. What happens next comes from the environment, the infected and the other survivors you meet.

The game gives you very little help. There are no map markers, no mini-map and no navigation HUD, so you read the land and your own character instead. Hunger, body temperature and disease all matter, and you have to search buildings for tools, rations and gear. Loot is scarce, but you can patch clothes, cook over a fire and craft improvised tools.

Wolves and bears roam the forests, and on PC up to 60 players can share the world with you. Some will help, some will rob you, and voice chat lets you talk before anyone decides which. You can team up with strangers or play as a lone wolf.

• Two maps in the base game: Chernarus, about 230 km², and the forested Livonia, about 168 km².
• Multiplayer survival with PvP and online co-op.
• Crafting, cooking and clothing repair.
• Steam Workshop support on PC.

DayZ key FAQ

Does DayZ have a story campaign?

No. Steam describes it as a sandbox with no missions or quests, so your own survival makes the story.

Can I play DayZ offline?

No single-player mode is listed on Steam. DayZ is a multiplayer game, and Steam lists an internet connection in the PC requirements.

Is the key tied to a region?

The listing’s region is Global, so it isn’t tied to one territory.
