DayZ will be seeing a gradual price increase

Bohemia Interactive studios announced that the online survival open world game DayZ will be seeing a price increase very soon leading to the game’s launch in 2016.

DayZ can be found now for $29 on Steam, that will soon change by the end of Steam’s fall sales where it will begin selling for $35 afterwards, then a final price change by the release of the game to become $50.
