DayZ Standalone sells over 1 Million in four weeks.

This might change the way games are sold in the future. It might actually benefit end-users and developers alike allowing enough communication to avoid broken releases like BF4 and Ghosts.

DayZ just got another healthy influx of folks who will eventually be shot for a can of beans. The player count for the Early Access standalone version has surpassed one million, Bohemia Interactive CEO and co-founder Marek Španěl announced.

In DayZ, players fight to survive on a zombie-infested island. Perhaps more dangerous than the undead are other players, however, who may kidnap you and force you to fight for sport.

The Early Access alpha is missing a lot of the planned features, which Bohemia Interactive hopes to trickle out over the course of the year. The beta version will be ready no sooner than the end of 2014, while Bohemia has yet to announce when it plans to launch the full game.

There was talk about DayZ on console, something like, "we'd be stupid not to do it" if I remember correctly. Any news on that?

There was definite talk about a Sony release but nothing for Microsoft.

Here you go: IGN -Dayz Console Port is almost Certain.

"Certainly I think if we don't, for want of a better word 'fuck up,' the PC release then I would say a console port is almost certain," Hall said. "I know a lot of people get really hot and bothered about it. Like, I'm not a console gamer, I'm a PC gamer, but I don't think it necessarily has to hurt things."

Nice, thanks for the info. Not too worried which console it gets released on, but it seems like its going to rely on the success of the PC release..which is looking good considering the 1mil mark now.

If it comes to console I'll definitely buy it in a heartbeat. Hopefully sooner than later!

I only play dragonball z games to bring back the memories of my childhood, every afternoon at 5pm on tv an episode was shown. I have bought most of the games and a lot of movies, but still miss the good all days, I hope this version of dragonball z makes me a child again.
I would rather buy it on next gen.

Why did this games never come out op pc??

DayZ =\= Dragon Ball Z



On topic.. would be nice to see some cross-platform gameplay when they do release it for consoles.

Damn right! Would be amazing and the server sizes would be huge. It would also allow Console guys some local server loving.

Now let's hope they get their asses in gear. That's roughly $30mill (not taking into account Steam's cut), so don't waste that money by taking forever with development, like they've been doing.

Seconded, though since release we've had 6 progressively good patches.

Perhaps they are waiting for the 10Mil mark before they release it
