Video Game Updates & Patch Notes

DayZ 1.21 May 1st Experimental Update, Maintenance Notes and more

Bohemia Interactive has announced a new DayZ 1.21 Experimental Update set to roll out today, May 1st, for both PC and Xbox platforms. The developer has announced that the servers will undergo maintenance to apply the update to the open-world survival game. Remember that Experimental means Public Test servers, which contents are tested before they roll out to the stable branch.

To ensure a smooth installation of the May 1st 1.21 Experimental Update, both PC and Xbox Experimental servers will experience downtime today. The schedule for the server maintenance is as follows:

  • PC Experimental servers: 13:00 CEST
  • Xbox Experimental servers: 14:00 CEST

PC Experimental 1.21 Update 2 – Version 1.21.156117 (Released on 02.05.2023)

Detailed patch notes for the new Experimental Update will be available as the servers go down for maintenance. That is in one hour from the time of this writing. Players can expect new features, bug fixes, and gameplay improvements to enhance their DayZ experience. Once the patch notes are revealed, we’ll post them here.

I am ANGE1K. I started playing video games a long time ago. In a blink of an eye, I became a hardcore gamer. A couple of years later, I traversed to the professional Counter-Strike 1.6 scene. After the competitive ERA, I managed to find the gaming industry amusing and started working on FGR. My mission is to lurk and discover secrets, create guides and provide you with some important news. Oh, yeah, patch notes too. I mostly play FPS and love experimenting in good MMORPGs.
