DayZ Moves 88,000 in 12 Hours
Well, if your were worried about the popular Arma 2 mod “DayZ” flopping once it became a standalone game, you can put those fears aside. DayZ sold a staggering 88,000 copies on Steam in it’s first 12 hours on the market.
Even “Maruk” from Bohemia Interactive tweeted about the success saying “88.000 Survivors have joined DayZ Alpha in it’s first 12 hours. Thank you.” And even high profile people in the industry have been vocal about the success, with Gears of War creator tweeting about his experience with the game. And the creator of it all, Dean Hall tweeted “Almost 200 new players in the database per second…what the hell?”
Currently, the game is only available on Steam, therefore it’s only available on PC. However, Dean Hall has stated in the past that the game could come to consoles eventually, if the PC version is successful. Now that we know it is, we’re pretty sure it’s only a matter of time.
