How many copies has DayZ Badlands sold?<\/h2>\n

More than 325,500<\/strong> in week one, across Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. In its “Thank you, Survivors!” post<\/a>, Bohemia said the success wasn’t just sales but also the amount of community content, “opening up more doors and opportunities for DayZ and its community”.<\/p>\n

How many people are playing DayZ?<\/h2>\n

Bohemia’s post says DayZ reached a peak of more than 435,500 concurrent players<\/strong> during the launch period. Note that the infographic in the same post labels the figure “peak of daily active players”, so it may count everyone who played on a single day rather than everyone online at once. Either way, it’s a huge number for a 2018 game.<\/p>\n
