Fans who missed it earlier can now download it on PS4 and PS5 via PS Plus and finally see what all the fuss is about.
DayZ
Second in the bundle is DayZ, a tense multiplayer zombie survival game. It challenges players to scavenge, fight both undead and other survivors, and survive in a ruthless open world.
