Dear Survivors, 2022 started off extremely strong, with us repeatedly breaking our record of concurrent players on Steam. We managed to reach another all-time high and would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all survivors across all platforms! Now then – let’s waste no time and jump right into a short news bulletin and all the awesome content that was created in January. Read the full article here.

Dear Survivors, We are aware of the recent reports regarding attacks on the community servers and have been working hard to investigate and fix them as soon as possible. As a community driven developer, we always take players’ feedback seriously as it helps shape our games immensely. We are continuously improving the game's security with each update, with the added support of releasing hotfixes when needed. We are very sorry that, despite constant updates and security patches, some players’ experiences have been negatively affected by cheaters and hackers. Preventing those that spoil the fun of DayZ is, and always will be, an integral part of our long-term development plan. As a result of these efforts, we managed to block more than 30,000 cheaters over the past year with the help of our partners at BattlEye. If Server owners are experiencing any concerns related to this topic in DayZ, please contact us at our new dedicated email address: DayzServerSupport@bistudio.com. (We encourage players to reach out to server owners before getting in touch with us directly).

Thank you guys, the bug was reported. It´s not a typo.

Hi, please note that changing things as a server administrator is very different from actually coding the game. But yes, we are still hiring, so please, If you are an experienced developer, we would love to see you apply! ❤️
