The Early Access standalone edition of DayZ has reached a new milestone, surpassing the 3m sales mark as the past week drew to a close.

In a post on Bohemia Interactive’s official site, the studio confirmed the game now has 3m players along with 80 staff members on the development team.

"We would like to say thank you to every single one of the three million players, that have joined us on the journey of making DayZ. You all have helped make DayZ the best open world, zombie survival game," project lead David Durcak said.

"This is an amazing achievement, and we are really looking forward to start sharing with you all of our game design improvements, anti-hack solutions and other optimizations we have been working on for a majority of the last year."

DayZ launched in Early Access on Steam in December 2013, with the game currently carrying an official release window of 2016.
