Goat Simulator Gets DayZ-Inspired Expansion
Coffee Stain Studios' bizarre, buggy goat ride is getting infected by the horde this week. A new add-on gives players a new map to explore, a crafting system, and more goats to unlock. GoatZ also includes a new survival mode where players have to eat every five minutes in order to survive.
Goat Simulator recently landed on Xbox systems. Game Informer's Tim Turi found Goat Simulator to be goofy but lacking in zombies. That will all change when the new GoatZ add-on launches for PC, Mac, and Linux this Thursday, May 7 for only $4.99. Separate apps are also headed to iOS and Android.

Our Take
This is a fun way to do DLC. I wasn't a big fan of the original Goat Simulator, but silly add-ons like this are a good way to attract new consumers to a game they might have missed before.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
