The ultimate survival experience where every decision could mean life or death in a post-apocalyptic world.
DayZ is a hardcore multiplayer survival game by Bohemia Interactive. You’re dropped into the post-Soviet country of Chernarus, where a mysterious infection has turned most of the population into violent zombies.
As one of the few survivors, you’ll scavenge for food, water, medicine and gear while navigating threats from both the infected and other players in a persistent open world.
DayZ simulates survival down to the details: bleeding, sickness, temperature, stamina and nutrition all matter. Every encounter is high stakes — cooperation can save you, betrayal can end you.
Travel through forests, towns and military zones, repair vehicles, craft improvised gear and establish hidden stashes. Your story is written by the choices you make and the players you meet.

What makes DayZ such an intense survival experience
DayZ delivers a unique survival tension: every footstep and distant shot could spell danger — or opportunity. Player interactions drive unforgettable stories.
With realistic survival systems, a persistent world and emergent gameplay, no two sessions are the same. Build a base with friends or roam as a lone survivor — the apocalypse is yours to endure.
