Bohemia Interactive's survival shooter DayZ is enjoying a newfound level of success on Xbox One after the game was recently added to the Xbox Game Pass catalog. The publisher said in a news release that "hundreds of thousands" of new players jumped into DayZ following its introduction into the subscription program on May 7.

The game is "flourishing now more than ever, and has become one of the Most Played games on Xbox," Bohemia said in its press release (via Eurogamer).
