== General == === What is DayZ Standalone? === What has become known as simply ''DayZ'', this game is the continuation of creator [[Dean Hall]]'s vision for his popular Arma 2 add-on now referred to as the [[Mod:DayZ_Mod_Wiki|DayZ Mod]]. Taken from the game's official description on the Steam Store: The post-soviet country of Chernarus is struck by an unknown virus, turning the majority population into frenzied infected. Fighting over resources has bred a hostile mentality among survivors, driving what’s left of humanity to collapse. You are one of the few immune to the virus - how far will you go to survive? '''This is DayZ, this is your story.''' DayZ is an unforgiving, authentic, open world sandbox online game where each one of 60 players on a server follows a single goal - to survive as long as they can, by all means necessary. There are no superficial tips, waypoints, built-in tutorials or help given to you. Every decision matters - with no save games, and no extra lives, every mistake can be lethal. If you fail, you lose everything and start over. === What is the difference between the DayZ Mod and DayZ Standalone? === DayZ Standalone, as its name implies, is a wholly separate game built on its own foundations that are no longer reliant on the ''ArmA II'' bones which made the DayZ Mod possible. It is being developed alongside the creation of a new in-house game engine at Bohemia referred to as ''Enfusion''. It also includes an extensively reworked [[Chernarus]] map. === Is it worth buying DayZ? === DayZ is an incredible experience, however, if you require a fully polished title and are not prepared to deal with the consequences of playing a game that is still undergoing heavy and complicated changes, then DayZ may not be right for you. Development of the game is still ongoing despite an official release labeled 1.0. Bugs and issues are still common, and many previously planned or introduced features are still due to be implemented in the ''Enfusion'' engine. Despite this, the game is one-of-a-kind, and you will struggle to find a gaming experience that does large-scale multiplayer zombie survival like DayZ. === How will I get this game and on what platform(s)? === DayZ Standalone is intended to be a multi-platform title. Currently, the game is available for Windows PC (via digital distribution on Steam), the Xbox One Marketplace, and the PlayStation Store. === What are the system requirements for DayZ Standalone? === The necessary hardware and software for the Windows PC version of DayZ are listed below, as found on the [http://store.steampowered.com/app/221100 Steam Store page]. {| class='wikitable' ! !!MINIMUM !!
