DayZ EU Steam Digital Key

A hardcore survival game in a post-apocalyptic world

DayZ drops players into a world overrun by frenzied infected and desperate survivors, where the only rule is to stay alive. Developed and published by Bohemia Interactive, it combines punishing survival mechanics with unpredictable human encounters, so every decision about food, shelter and trust carries real weight.

The game includes two large hand-crafted maps to explore. Chernarus is the original post-soviet setting spanning 230 km2, while Livonia adds a denser 163 km2 landscape of forests, swamps and hidden locations, including a mysterious underground complex for those willing to venture south with a friend and a flashlight.

What you'll be doing out there

Up to 60 players share a server at any given time, meaning encounters can turn into alliances, betrayals or firefights without warning. Voice chat lets players negotiate, deceive or coordinate on the fly, whether they're building a base, hunting wildlife or scavenging dead cities for gear.

• Manage hunger, thirst and body temperature while evading wolves, bears and the elements
• Repair clothing, craft improvised items and fix vehicles to stash safely at a hidden base
• Brave contaminated zones for rare loot, provided you've found a hazard suit and gas mask first
• Fight or flee in PvP hotspots such as abandoned military bases
• Install fan-made maps, weapons and features from the Steam Workshop
