How long can you survive a post-apocalyptic world? A land overrun with an infected "zombie" population, where you compete with other survivors for limited resources. Will you team up with strangers and stay strong together? Or play as a lone wolf to avoid betrayal? This is DayZ – this is your story.

Should I stream DayZ on Twitch?

1/100 · Closed off· 36 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. DayZ has 188 streamers live, so you would open around #72 of 189 — far enough down the category that almost nobody browsing it would scroll to you, however many viewers it has.

About 994 of the 3,275 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 14 each if you split it with the 70 other English streams below them. You would start around #72, too far down for anyone browsing to find you.

Only 3,275 of the 6,840 viewers here (48%) are watching in English. 72 of the 188 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

  • “Instead of announcing dayz 2, the developer should focus on anti-cheat system, fixing the terrible zombie AI, or at least making a launcher that actually works properly.”

  • “I downloaded DayZ thinking it was a survival game. Turns out, it’s actually a walking simulator where everyone eventually tries to kill you. I spawned with nothing, found some beans, and thought I was rich. Then I met a random player who said, “Friendly?” We t…”

  • “I fought a guy for a can beans, rob another guy for his gear and stole his car. Then I shot a dude for looking at me weird. Then I got home and play this game. 10/10 will play this game till I am gray and old. Looking forward to the new DLC.”
