DayZ server status

How the DayZ server status works

Every 10 minutes we download the public server list that the DZSA Launcher uses. Right now it holds about 9,200 DayZ servers, and about 2,800 of them have someone playing. The numbers on this page are what each server reported at that check.

Open a server to see its player count over the last 24 hours, how often it was up, its map, version and mods. Busy servers get a 30 day history as well. For DayZ next to ARK, Rust and 13 other games people host themselves, see survival game player counts.

Why a server can be missing

Only servers in the launcher list show up here. A server that is down, restarting or hidden from the list is not here, and neither are PlayStation and Xbox servers, which have a list of their own.

Why the total can differ from the table

The launcher list is not always complete. Some checks miss hundreds of busy servers, others count thousands of players twice. So at every check we also read Steam's own count of people playing DayZ. The list total normally sits close to it, so when the two are more than 5% apart, the total and the chart use Steam's number for that check, scaled by the usual gap between the two. The table, the maps and the server pages always show what each server reported.

Official or community

Official servers are the ones Bohemia Interactive runs, with names like "3803 | EUROPE - DE". Everything else is a community server, run by players or a hosting company. First person only servers (1PP) lock the camera to first person, the rest allow third person (3PP).

Checking your own server

Paste your server's address as IP:port in the search box. If it is in the list you get its page straight away, with an embed for your website and an OBS link for your stream.
