All game servers will be coming offline at that time, and the game will no longer be available for play. While this chapter for Just Survive has come to an end, we are discussing the possibility of allowing our partner and developer of Z1 Battle Royale, NantG Mobile, to bring Just Survive back online and take over development of the game sometime in the future. Should we have further information to share regarding that matter, we'll be sure to inform you accordingly. Thank you again for the countless hours of fun across Pleasant Valley and Badwater Canyon - we appreciate your support and dedication to Just Survive. Best, The J…
- H1Z1 s original mode, Just Survive, closes in October - 26 August 2018
Daybreak Game Company have announced that Just Survive , the game that was originally H1Z1’s survival sandbox, will be shut down soon. They’ve already delisted the game from Steam, so no one new can buy it, but current owners can play until the servers close in October. H1Z1 will continue in its current battle royale form (previously called H1Z1: King of the Kill), after the two split off earlier in development. (more…)

The excitement of the game’s promise was palpable and its loyal community is still full of ideas for its future. Unfortunately, we are no longer in a position to fulfill its greatness and the current population of the game makes it untenable to maintain. Just Survive was part of our first Early Access project, and we learned a great deal during its development. As with any open world game, the greatest stories came from our passionate players. From the incredibly skilled base builders to the free-ranging gangs, and all of the players named variations of “ImFriendly” and “PleaseDontShootMe”, we hope everyone had amazing adventures…

We have just updated Live with the following: Lifetimes for traps and other "placeable" objects has been drastically shortened if they're not placed on a foundation or in a shack. Duct tape has been removed from the plated armor recipe, and replaced with composite cloth. Periodic shuddering due to an approximately one second hitch has been fixed. Many more crates have been added to the gator recipe. Enjoy! If you find specific items that are missing or very desirable, please feel free to list them. Player bases take progressively more damage from explosions the longer they have been abandoned. Bases that have been vacant for almost a week should be very easy to clean up, allowing other squads to take over an area. We expect to tweak the math underlying…
