A DayZ map for PlayStation.
PlayStation DayZ is vanilla DayZ: no mods, no overlay, and a map you have to find in-game that still will not tell you where you are standing.

Point a phone or tablet at the screen you play on. Nothing is installed on the console or the PC, and no server mod is needed.

On this platform
What PlayStation players need to know.
PS5 and PS4 both work
The app reads the picture on the screen, so the console generation is irrelevant.
No mods, no overlay, no capture card
Console DayZ cannot run the map mods PC players use. Your phone doing the looking is the way around that, and it needs nothing from the PlayStation.
Set the tablet once
Landscape, in a stand, where it sees the whole picture. Lock the frame and leave it — if the device moves, the frame has to be set again.
Party play
Naming the town you are in, out loud, is a great deal faster than describing the shape of a hill to someone in a party chat.
How it works
Your phone watches the screen, and the map follows you.
One frame roughly every three seconds is cropped to the area you locked, matched against reference views captured by walking the terrain, and turned into a marker on the map — with the nearest town named and the direction you are facing. The full explanation is on the front page.
Questions
Straight answers.
Is there a map for DayZ on PS5?
Not one that shows your position. ZLocator marks where you are on the Chernarus, Livonia or Sakhal map from a second device.
Does it work on PS4 too?
Yes — the app looks at the screen, not at the console.
Do I need a capture card?
No. Nothing is plugged into the PlayStation and nothing is installed on it.
Know where you are on the DayZ map.
Free for the first 3 days when it lands on Google Play. Every DayZ map included.
