DayZ is suddenly more popular than ever, with a big new Steam record
The DayZ Steam player count is suddenly higher than ever, as the open-world survival game and predecessor to the likes of PUBG, Fortnite, and Call of Duty Warzone sees a big spike on Valve's platform more than ten years since its initial release.
