Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have gleefully announced that Dead Island 2 is a massive hit among players worldwide. Since launching last Friday on multiple systems, players have sliced, diced, and blasted their way through an incredible 1.1 billion zombies. Escape Hell-A indeed! In addition, developers announced that over a million game copies have been sold after only three days of live service.
So, by the numbers, DI2 looks like this
- Over 1 million copies of Dead Island 2 sold during its first weekend
- 11 million total hours played
- 28 million player deaths (over twice the population of Los Angeles)
- 45 million zombies sliced in half
- 756 million zombie limbs hacked off

Players can join the mayhem by purchasing a copy on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Epic Games Store.

ABOUT DEAD ISLAND 2
Los Angeles is in quarantine, and the military has retreated. Only you, and the handful of others who happen to be resistant to the pathogen, holds the future of the city (and humanity) in the balance.
Dead Island 2 is stylish, vibrant, and flooded with zombie infection. Explore iconic, gore-drenched Los Angeles. Meet larger-than-life characters. Slay countless foes in exquisitely bloody detail. And evolve to become the ultimate Zombie Slayer!
During the game, players take on the role of any one of several “survivors turned slayers.” These capable characters include Amy, Bruno, Dani, Ryan, Carla, and Jacob. Each one comes with a package of robust abilities and personalities to match. Abilities can further be honed through the Skill Card system that allows players to customize their heroes in a way that suits them best.
