The zombie apocalypse administrative simulation, “Quarantine Zone: The Last Check,” published by Devolver Digital and developed by Brigada Games, is creating a massive stir in the gaming world. Within just two days of its official release, the title has surpassed 300,000 cumulative units sold, establishing itself as a breakout hit for the start of 2026.
A Global Success Story on Steam
Officially launched on January 13, 2026, the game has captivated players with its unique premise: players act as checkpoint officers in a world ravaged by a zombie virus, tasked with the grim duty of screening survivors.
The momentum was visible even before the launch, with over 1.3 million Steam wishlists and more than 2 million demo downloads. Since the full release, the game has climbed to the #1 spot on the Steam Global Top Sellers list, proving that the high anticipation was well-founded.
Accelerating Growth with a ‘Dead by Daylight’ Collaboration
To further fuel its explosive growth, Brigada Games recently released a free update featuring a collaboration with Behaviour Interactive’s legendary horror title, Dead by Daylight.
- Iconic Cameos: The four original survivors from Dead by Daylight—Dwight Fairfield, Meg Thomas, Claudette Morel, and Jake Park—have officially joined the survivor pool.
- Life or Death Decisions: Players will encounter these familiar faces at their checkpoints, and their fate—whether they are granted entry to the safe zone or turned away—rests entirely in the player’s hands.
Special Discounts for the Community
In celebration of the collaboration and the successful launch, a special pricing structure is currently in effect:
- Launch Discount: All users can enjoy a 10% discount off the standard price.
- Loyalty Bonus: Players who already own Dead by Daylight on Steam are eligible for an additional 10% discount, allowing them to pick up the game at a significantly reduced rate.
Note: The game features full Korean language support. Detailed information and community updates can be found on Devolver Digital’s official X (formerly Twitter), Discord, and other social media channels.
With its innovative “administrative horror” mechanics and high-tension storytelling, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check has solidified its position as a dark horse in the 2026 indie market.
