The alpha release of standalone DayZ has already sold more than 800,000 copies via Steam Early Access, creator Dean Hall has revealed on Reddit.
Hall says that the success has far exceeded his expectations.
“We (bohemia and I) had very ambitious plans for 2014 already, however this amount of sales was completely unexpected,” he wrote. “Honestly, 250k within a quarter was what I would have considered a success. So to move nearly 800,000 in under a month is crazy.
“We’ll be finalizing our roadmap in mid January, but it is safe to say that this kind of result will be having a very positive effect on that roadmap.”
The game sold 400,000 copies during its first week.
DayZ’s success has been quite amazing, and remember that Bohemia has suggested the game won’t hit Beta until at least “one year” from the alpha launch.
