Bohemia Interactive - the developer studio behind the survival title DayZ just announced that the game will host a free weekend. The free weekend will start on Thursday, 13 February at 6:00 p.m. GMT and end on Monday, 17 February at 6:00 p.m. GMT.
To take advantage of the free weekend you'll just need to go over to the DayZ store page on Steam and install the game.
Those who wish to continue playing DayZ after the free weekend comes to a close on 17 February, can do so by purchasing it at a discount. The base game will be 40 per cent off and its newly released Livonia DLC will be up for grabs at 10 per cent off.
The free weekend will be held to celebrate the launch of the 1.07 update. The update brought some tweaks, optimizations, squashed some annoying bugs and introduced a couple of pieces of fresh content - a new weapon and ammo types.

The 1.07 update also brought an addition to the game's map in the form of Amusement Parks.
DayZ recently took home the Better With Friends award on Steam. With the co-op nature of the game, it's only fitting that the free weekend falls on Valentine's Day. With this in mind, grab a friend or a loved one and go shoot some zombie's face off. Who said romance was dead?
Other games in Steam's Better With Friends category were:
- Risk of Rain 2
- Dota Underlords
