Most public DayZ server lists are full of inflated numbers. dayzmetrics removes them. The counts you see here are honest counts of real human players online right now.
Live DayZ servers, real player counts
Every public DayZ server is checked on a rolling sweep. Popular servers are checked every minute. Quiet ones get a full pass every couple of hours. The population you see for each server is the current real count.
Each row in the browser also shows the in-game time and the day or night cycle, ping, the mod list with total download size, the map, and the first or third person perspective. Sort and filter by anything that matters to you.
The default sort is quality. Quality combines current players, peak players over the last seven days, uptime, and queue length. A DayZ server with a long busy history ranks above a brand new one with a single hot session.
How we filter fake DayZ servers
Boosters report 255 of 255 players online at all times. Blank-name farms hide on the in-game list. Clone clusters run identical mod sets across the same IP block. All three patterns are common on the public DayZ network.
dayzmetrics detects each pattern and hides the offenders by default. You only see DayZ servers with believable populations. We are not perfect, but we are aggressive, and our detection methods keep getting tighter.

Frequently asked questions
Why are the player counts here different from the in-game DayZ browser?
The in-game browser shows the raw values reported by each server. Many are inflated on purpose. We compare those values to historical patterns and flag the ones that lie. The number on dayzmetrics is the real one.
How often does the data update?
Every DayZ server is checked inside a two hour window. Popular ones are checked far more often than that. Each page on dayzmetrics reflects the latest sweep when you load it.
Can I find a DayZ server running a specific mod?
Yes. The mod filter lists every mod across every live DayZ server. Each mod has its own page showing the servers running it, the total download size, and a direct link to the Steam Workshop entry.
Do you cover modded DayZ communities?
Yes. Modded DayZ is a first-class citizen on dayzmetrics. Vanilla and modded servers are tagged and filtered separately, so you can pick whichever style of DayZ you want to play.
Is dayzmetrics free?
Yes. The server browser, trending list, map pages, mod pages and country pages are free for everyone. No account needed to browse or to copy connect details and jump in.
