Is Day Z cross-platform?

No, at the time of writing in 2022, Day Z still does not support cross-platform play. This means that those playing on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles will only be able to play with others on the same platforms. There is no overlap between consoles or between Xbox and PC players.
