DayZ is an open-world survival game set in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Players must scavenge for food, water, and supplies while managing health, hunger, and hydration. The game features realistic survival mechanics, requiring attention to injuries, diseases, and environmental hazards.
The dynamic world of DayZ includes diverse environments, a day-night cycle, and weather systems that impact gameplay. Chernarus is the original map, spanning 225 km² with many notable locations to explore. Livonia measures 163 km², and its dense forests make navigation and survival harder. Sakhal, added in October 2024, is around 105 km² and may require the Frostline DLC depending on the server. Player interactions are intense and unpredictable, with room for both cooperation and conflict, and the persistent world means your actions have lasting consequences that reward planning and base building.
DayZ's active modding community continuously adds new content, maps, and features. Known for its hardcore challenge, DayZ rewards skill, patience, and strategic thinking. Whether you're exploring abandoned cities, battling zombies, or sizing up other survivors, DayZ delivers a deep survival adventure.
A dedicated DayZ server stays online around the clock, so your world is always accessible for uninterrupted gameplay. Our servers are built for maximum uptime, so you and your friends can jump in whenever you want without worrying about outages.
That consistent availability matters for protecting your progress, so the bases you build and the supplies you stockpile are still there when you return. Dedicated hardware also delivers better performance and stability, keeping latency low and gameplay smooth even during peak hours or intense in-game events.
The result is a smooth, low-lag experience that lets you focus on surviving the harsh world of DayZ with your friends by your side.
Our DayZ servers come with full mod support, so you can tailor the game to your group and shape your own survival experience. Mods can add a wide range of new content, from extra weapons and vehicles to entirely new maps and gameplay mechanics, including custom maps like Deer Isle.
With our control panel, installing and managing mods is straightforward. You can browse, add, and update mods with built-in tools, and manage your server and admin settings from the same dashboard.
Popular mods such as Expansion, Namalsk, and DayZRP can transform your server with new challenges and creative possibilities. Whether you want to tweak small details or overhaul the whole game, our mod support gives you the flexibility to build your ideal DayZ experience. Note that our DayZ servers run the Steam (PC) version only, with no crossplay for Xbox or PlayStation.
Custom maps (Chernarus, Livonia, Namalsk), one-click Steam Workshop installs, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support are built in. DZSA Launcher ready, so friends find and join in one click.
DayZ has a free dedicated server tool (Steam App ID 223350), but it runs only on an always-on Windows or Linux box, and the install needs a Steam account that owns DayZ. The server is CPU-bound and needs no GPU; budget a modern multi-core CPU and 4 to 8 GB RAM, more with mods.
app_update 223350 validateYou own the patching, world-save backups, crash restarts, and DDoS exposure for as long as the server is up.
