Love zombies? You need to be playing Project Zomboid. What, you want more? Then how about the news that, with its latest Build 42 update, this Steam Early Access zombie survival game has smashed its all-time Steam player count record, the highest it\u2019s been since the game\u2019s Nov 2013 release.<\/p>\n
Project Zomboid\u2019s latest update isn\u2019t just some bug fix, it makes radical changes to the game. It adds in a whole new animal husbandry system, the map\u2019s bigger than ever and you can climb, or fight, your way up the inside of skyscrapers, to name just a few of the changes.<\/p>\n
Now, after peaking at 65,505 concurrent players in 2022 (via SteamDB), Project Zomboid has rocketed to nearly 87,000 survivors. That\u2019s just the simultaneous player count, too; chances are the total player count is much higher, and the game is number 75 in Steam\u2019s top-selling games. It\u2019s also available on GOG.<\/p>\n
I dove back into Project Zomboid shortly after the update dropped and I\u2019m having a whale of a time (if the whale had a taste for human brains). Granted, my progress is slowed by the fact that Project Zomboid has a permadeath mechanic (I\u2019m starting from scratch) but I\u2019ve not resorted to save-scumming. Yet.<\/p>\n
With Project Zomboid reviews like \u201cMurdered all my neighbors with a spoon, ran down the block and got swarmed by 30 zombies and died, would recommend,\u201d how can you go wrong? You could end up locked inside a gun shop, a bizarre scenario one player encountered, but that\u2019s hopefully a one-off.<\/p>\n
Project Zomboid is available now on Steam and GOG, priced at \u00a322.49, and it\u2019s worth every penny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
