'Sales have increased almost fivefold from how they were before Day Z's Alpha release!'īohemia Interactive will also be supporting Day Z in the next ArmA 2 update, something that the creator of the mod (known as Rocket) is sure to appreciate. 'There's no doubt that the thrilling Day Z mod currently drives Arma 2 Combined Operations sales on Steam,' Spanel told Kotaku in a recent interview. Why such a big jump in sales? Well, it seems that as much as folks like realistic military shooters, throwing zombies into the mix-at least according to developer Bohemia Interactive's Marek Spanel-'creates an experience so addictive that I believe it can stand as a gaming experience on its own.'
The hardcore military simulation ArmA 2 has seen its sales spike to five times the norm, thanks to the recently-released mod called Day Z.
