"Obviously PC development is paramount to us. So console prototype work will get moved to Q1 of next year," the developer wrote on the forums.
DayZ was one of four games initially announced for Microsoft's Xbox Game Preview, a program that operates similarly to the Early Access model seen on PC. The program allows you to buy into games while they're still in development, essentially allowing you an early look at games while providing valuable feedback for the developer.
