Just over a year ago, Bohemia Interactive released DayZ on Steam Early Access. On January 22nd, DayZ achieved 3 million slaes. This is the standalone version of the popular Arma 2 modification created by Dean Hall, that has started and defined an entire genre of video gaming and inspired other gaming studios.

Since the beginning of the DayZ Early Access program, the team has done a great job at keeping the game updated on a regular basis. Since the initial release, 24 updates have been added to the game. These updates are focused on improving the over quality and has even redesigned some of the most significant features including the inventory, multiplayer architecture and map improvements. As the DayZ team continues to outline their development plan for 2015, there are many more improvements in the pipeline.

“We would like to say thank you to every single one of the three million players, that have joined us on the journey of making DayZ. You all have helped make DayZ the best open world, zombie survival game. This is an amazing achievement, and we are really looking forward to start sharing with you all of our game design improvements, anti-hack solutions and other optimizations we have been working on for a majority of the last year.”
