DayZ is coming to Xbox One, we all know that but what many of you don’t know if that an Xbox Game Preview version of the title was scheduled to release this year. Unfortunately, it’s been pushed by to 2016 because the developer needs to focus on the Windows one in the meantime.

I understand that the developer needs to focus on the Windows version which already has a lot of customers. However, I’m still disappointed. Hopefully we’ll see something on Xbox Game Preview in early 2016. Stay tuned to ICXM.net for the latest news about the title.
