How long can you survive a post-apocalyptic world? A land overrun with an infected "zombie" population, where you compete with other survivors for limited resources. Will you team up with strangers and stay strong together? Or play as a lone wolf to avoid betrayal? This is DayZ – this is your story.

Strong daily player base. Matchmaking and servers will be lively.
Currently at 65% of the all-time peak of 65,156 players.

No public concurrent-player API exists for these platforms. Other sites guess by scraping achievement timestamps or leaderboards. We won’t make up numbers. If the platforms ever ship a real API, real numbers will show up here.
