Gray Zone Warfare News

Hey, GZW Community,

With the launch of the Winds of War update, we’re taking important steps to strengthen our anti-cheat efforts. Cheating undermines fair competition and damages the experience for everyone, and we take that seriously. That’s why we’re introducing new measures designed to make Gray Zone Warfare a more secure and fair environment for all players.


[h3]No Invasive Access[/h3]
One of the key changes is the integration of Denuvo technology, which will help us increase the difficulty of tampering with the game. To be clear, we are not using the DRM component of Denuvo, nor are we implementing any new kernel-level anti-cheat measures. The version of Denuvo we’ve chosen operates at a different level, without invasive access to your system. This means you’ll benefit from improved protection without any downsides.

We understand that some players may have concerns. That’s why we made sure to thoroughly test this implementation before shipping it. Our internal performance benchmarks showed no detrimental impact on framerate or system responsiveness. GZW will run exactly as it did before, just with better protection.

[h3]Why We’re Keeping Some Details Under Wraps[/h3]
We won’t be going into further detail about the specific anti-cheat measures we’ve implemented. Revealing those would only help cheat developers adapt, reducing the effectiveness of these systems before they’ve had a chance to do their job.

We know that transparency matters, and we’ll continue to communicate what we can. At the same time, protecting the integrity of the game means keeping some details confidential.

[h3]Reporting Cheaters[/h3]
If you ever suspect a player of cheating, please report them to us using this link. Be sure to include conclusive video evidence with your report. Thank you for helping us keep the game fair.

As always, we appreciate your feedback and your continued support as we work to make Gray Zone Warfare the best it can be.

Hey GZW Community,

We’re excited to announce that Twitch Drops are on their way and arriving with some amazing partners.

We’ve teamed up with two iconic brands: Gatorz, known for eyewear engineered for those who push the limits, and Viktos, a leading name in tactical apparel. These partnerships bring real-world authenticity and style straight to the battlefield.

As we’ve previously shared, we’re also proud to be working with Stack Up and REGIMENT — two organizations that support U.S. veterans and active service members through the power of gaming. These communities focus on mental health, camaraderie, and building purpose through shared in-game experiences.

Together, these collaborations will bring exclusive in-game items you can unlock by watching Gray Zone Warfare on Twitch.

Watch. Earn. Gear up.

Stay tuned — more info is coming soon.

Hello, GZW Community,

We recently hosted the first-ever Winds of War Hands-On Showcase — an intense live event where content creators like Operator Drewski, Klean, NoiceGuy, Riloe, and Goodboi joined our dev team and members of the community to play and present the Winds of War update in real time.



Together, we dropped into Lamang to highlight new locations, features, and the evolving world of Gray Zone Warfare. This was the community’s first public look at the upcoming update in action.

That said, we want to clarify that the event didn’t fully represent a typical player experience. We were equipped with high-tier gear for the showcase and plenty of resources to demonstrate as much new content as possible. The session was also focused on three specific Combat Outposts. In normal gameplay, these scenarios will emerge more naturally.

[h3]Twitch Drops & Early Preview Incoming[/h3]
At the start of the stream, we shared a few key announcements. First up: Twitch Drops are coming this May, giving players a chance to earn in-game rewards just by watching select streams. More information will be shared as the campaign approaches.



We also announced an Early Preview window for select creators, running from May 17 to 21. Expect more gameplay footage and impressions during that period. This preview allows us to reach new audiences and gather valuable feedback on new features before release. We appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy the early content.

While we’re not ready to confirm a release date just yet, you can expect Winds of War to arrive shortly after the Early Preview. Final tweaks and adjustments are underway based on ongoing testing and feedback.



[h3]Current Price Is the Lowest It Will Ever Be[/h3]

Our CEO, Marek Rabas, joined the stream to announce an upcoming price increase for Gray Zone Warfare and its editions. As Marek explained, this decision reflects the realities of modern game development — rising server and operational costs, growing risk in the industry, and the expanding scope of the game. Also, more content means greater value, which will be reflected in the pricing.

If you’ve been thinking about purchasing the game or upgrading your edition, now is the time — current pricing is the lowest it will ever be, aside from possible future discounts (which are not planned any time soon).

We’re also updating the contents of all game editions, with full details to be shared later this month.



Note: The final price will vary based on your region.

[h3]Good News for Lower-End PCs[/h3]
As was stressed during the stream, we know not everyone plays on high-end hardware. That’s why we’ve reworked the Low graphics preset to improve performance more aggressively. While visual quality is reduced, foliage density remains unchanged to avoid any gameplay advantage. This change should make the game more accessible to players on lower-end systems.
