DayZ is a survival video game developed and published by Bohemia Interactive. Players find themselves in a post-Soviet country in the aftermath of a zombie outbreak, where they must scavenge for resources, food, water, and gear while navigating through a land infested with zombies and other creatures. But is it coming out on Game Pass?
Here’s all you need to know about whether or not DayZ is out on PC and Xbox Game Pass.
Is DayZ on Xbox Game Pass?
No, DayZ is not on Xbox Game Pass.
Even though the console version of DayZ has been out for a while now, the game is not on Xbox Game Pass and there hasn’t been any official announcement from the developers or publishers regarding its inclusion in the Game Pass catalog.
Is DayZ on PC Game Pass?
No, DayZ is not on PC Game Pass.
Similar to the Xbox Game Pass situation, there have been no announcements by the developers about the game coming to PC Game Pass. The game was released on Microsoft Windows on December 13, 2018. It was later released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. As it has been a while since its release across platforms, users should not expect the game to appear in the Game Pass catalog any time soon. However, you can still access the game via Steam.
Can you play DayZ via Game Pass?
Unfortunately, you cannot play DayZ via Xbox or PC Game Pass. This is because the game developers have currently shown no interest in bringing DayZ to Xbox or PC Game Pass and are prioritizing direct sales. Players can access the game on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 by purchasing it from the respective stores.
The game’s description reads:
“DayZ is a hardcore open-world survival game with only one rule: stay alive, no matter what. How long can you survive a post-apocalyptic world? A land overrun with an infected “zombie” population, where you compete with other survivors for limited resources. Will you team up with strangers and stay strong together? Or play as a lone wolf to avoid betrayal? This is DayZ, this is your story.“
