Is DayZ Crossplay? Split Screen and Player Count
No, DayZ is not crossplay, so the whole group needs the same platform. Online it takes 2 to 60 players, and there's no split screen.
Everyone spawns with almost nothing in a fictional post-Soviet country full of infected and searches for food, water, clothing and weapons. Other players can help or kill you, and death is permanent for that character.
