DayZ version history
Thirty-one stable updates in eight years. This is the archive: every version from 1.0 to 1.30, when it reached PC and consoles, and what it put in the game. Newest first.
Every version
1.30 back to 1.0
Dates are the day the PC stable build went live. Console dates are given where Bohemia shipped the same day or where we have a source; consoles usually carry their own update number as well (the 21 October 2026 patch was 1.30 Update 2 on Steam and update 1.87 on PlayStation). Items marked unverified come from forum timestamps or press rather than a Bohemia release line.

The eras
Four chapters
1.0 to 1.07: finishing the game
December 2018 to early 2020. The year of filling gaps the 1.0 release left: the first new guns, grenades, night vision, locks and crates, vaulting, voice levels, and in December 2019 the first new map, Livonia, with bears and fishing.
1.08 to 1.13: the systems
2020 to mid 2021. Base parts that break and repair, flag poles that keep a base alive, broken legs, food decay, wind and the heat buffer, the M3S truck, vehicle batteries, the damage rework of 1.12 and the special infected of 1.13.
1.14 to 1.25: the zones and the arsenal
Late 2021 to mid 2024. Contaminated zones and NBC gear changed where the best loot lives. Then three years of weapons, from the LE-MAS and AURs to the M79, the Humvee, the crossbow and sword, the DMR, Vikhr and VS-89, and finally Livonia free for everyone.
1.26 to 1.30: the expansions
October 2024 onward. Frostline and Sakhal brought the cold; 1.27 and 1.28 filled the island in; 1.29 wiped the boards for Badlands; 1.30 shipped Nasdara, motorbikes, the code lock and the rebuilding system. See Badlands and 1.30.
Version numbers
How to read a build number
A full build looks like 1.30.164200: the stable version, then the build. Steam shows it on the main menu; consoles show their own patch counter (1.87 for the current build) in the store. Experimental builds on PC carry the next version number before it goes stable. The current build is shown in the Current build box on every page of this site, and how updates roll out explains experimental, stable and console timing.
Wipes
When official servers were wiped
A wipe deletes every character and base on official servers. Bohemia wipes when an update changes the map or the economy enough that old bases would break. The ones that mattered: 1.11 (February 2021), 1.29 (April 2026, ahead of Badlands) and 1.30 (October 2026). Community servers set their own schedule. What a wipe means for your base is on persistence.
