Physical Console Editions of DayZ Release Date Confirmed

After an enduring early access period, DayZ officially launched last year on PS4 and Xbox One alongside the PC release. However, it was recently revealed that players will soon be able to pick up their physical copies of the game for Ps4 and Xbox One next month as publisher Sold Out announced.

In case you missed it, check out the game’s official launch trailer below:

DayZ will pit players against waves of infected zombies in a unique multiplayer experience. You can view the full overview of the game below via publisher Sold Out:

DayZ is an unforgiving, authentic survival experience. Up to 60 survivors on a server engage in a ​completely unscripted gameplay​ scenario with no goals given, except for one: to survive as long as they can, by all means necessary. There are no superficial tips, waypoints, built-in tutorials, or help given to players. Every decision matters, and every mistake can be lethal. If a players fails they lose all character progress and must start over, as the game features a permadeath concept​.

With an open focus on the world itself, players are free to attempt to overcome the dangers of the world by working alone or banding together. Thanks to the comprehensive suite of survival mechanics, persistent servers, and a massive 230km map, all sorts of organic experiences can arise, giving each player their own story. ​This is not Battle Royale. This is DayZ.

Bohemia Interactive is continuing with post-launch development across all platforms, further expanding upon the content available in DayZ and delving deeper into its existing gameplay concepts. These improvements are scheduled to drop in updates throughout 2019.
