Maruk Spanel, the chief executive officer of Bohemia Interactive, announces that the alpha stage of the standalone version of DayZ, which is being offered on the Steam Early Access service, has managed to move 1 million copies during its first four weeks on the market.

The official Twitter feed from the executive states, “Thank you! - Four weeks after the release, #DayZ just passed one million sales.”

Both the company and the original creator of the DayZ mod have warned gamers that the experience is not finished and that they are likely to encounter problems and serious bugs.

Still, the fan community has been willing to pay to get access to the game and then spend hours in order to explore the undead-filled world and learn how to negotiate with other gamers.

The current plan is to launch a beta version of the standalone DayZ experience before the end of the year.
