Hey Survivors, after careful assessment of our data, we've opted to commence the process of sunsetting a selection of our inactive official servers.

Our goal is to ensure that we're always delivering the best experience possible, and official servers exist to give the community a shared space to play without the need for private hosting. When we launch fresh content, typically, we put up more servers than we need in the long term to match the peak in user capacity; over time, these servers become ghost towns as players have dropped off and are waiting for the next major content release.

On the 20th of May, we will be sunsetting these inactive servers:

We still intend to provide larger capacity at launches as much as possible to meet the higher need during those periods.

We’re working with our partners at Nitrado to offer these saves after the scheduled sunset through Nitrado’s interface. Please stay tuned for more details.
