After blowing up big in 2013, it slowly bled players during its five long years in early access. It was officially launched in 2018, but still managed to feel unfinished. The following year, however, DayZ&#8217;s popularity began to grow to heights not seen since it first entered early access, peaking in late 2024 with nearly 80,000 concurrent players.<\/p>\n<p>Frostline wasn&#8217;t all that well received, with &#8220;Mixed&#8221; reviews on Steam\u2014our own Jake Tucker <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/dayzs-frostline-dlc-makes-the-brutal-survival-game-even-more-inhospitable\/\">didn&#8217;t particularly care for it either<\/a>\u2014but the survival game is still pulling in between 50-60,000 concurrent players daily. We&#8217;ll see if the community finds Badlands more to their liking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Will you find solace in adventuring, exploring town to town, and uncovering secrets in the shifting sands?&#8221; asks Bohemia Interactive. &#8220;Or will you continue the cycle of violence amidst these ruins of past ghosts and glories?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm\u2026 with over 300 hours in DayZ myself, I&#8217;d put my money on players continuing the cycle of violence.
