2023’s Free Zombie Survival Game Demo
There are many different features offered in this free zombie survival game. From simply looting around the island to in-depth crafting systems.
Whether you are a base builder or a PvP Chad, you will surely find what you need in ZSGO. Here is a brief overview of what is offered!
Missions
Once spawning in, it is quick to see that you have nothing but a knife, flashlight, and some food.
Luckily, within close reach, there are some vendors waiting to get your attention. If you decide to talk to them, one will offer you a free pistol with some ammo.
Of course, a weapon like this is crucial if you plan to survive what these zombie-infested lands have in store for you.
Looting
Was this 1 free pistol not enough loot for you?
Well, in this free zombie game’s demo, there is plenty of loot to go around.
Once talking to the traders, be sure to start your journey deeper into the island. Looting roadblocks, small towns, and even the nuclear power plant is vital.
Just remember, some places are far more dangerous than others. Is the risk worth the reward?
Crafting
Once you prove you can survive one of these destinations, you may feel like you haven’t found what you wanted. What you NEED!
This is when crafting comes into play. Hit “TAB” and pull up that crafting menu!
You can proceed to find the resources needed to craft those items. As you make your way down the list of things to craft, you will stumble upon the crafting bench.
Zombie Survival Game Online offers different types of crafting benches for different needs. In this free zombie survival game version, however, the starting crafting bench will prove to be the best for a fresh spawn.
You will also notice some other interesting items you can craft; this includes the hammer and the building plan.
What could that be used for?
Building
Ah yes, BUILDING of course!
Once you get this building plan, you can start chopping down some trees and get to building your own personal base! There’s no better way to survive zombies than hiding out in your sturdy base!
Just be careful, you had better put a lock on that door!
PVP & Raiding
So, there you are, all boarded up in your new base with a few scraps you managed to collect from the nearby town.
Steps approach your base and then quiet.
Beep… Beep!
A loud explosion goes off to your left and a fellow survivor is pointing his AR at you with a not-so-friendly facial expression.
Once spawning, it is quick to see that you have nothing but a knife, flashlight, and some food.
Updates to the Free Zombie Game
The Zombie Survival Game Online team has been tirelessly working to improve your free survival experience. Finally, we are excited to share with you the latest improvements and fixes in our new free demo update!
General Fixes
Here are some much-needed fixes to our free zombie survival demo.
Password Protected Servers
Now you and your friends can navigate through the demo island without fear of others trying to take your stuff. You better keep an eye out for zombies though!
Auto-Run Key
FINALLY, no more straining your fingers. Just tap x, sit back, and relax as your character runs through the land. Unfortunately, they will still run directly into danger.
Rad Cleanser
I won’t spoil it too much, but one of the vendors in the safe zone now has the option to cleanse your radiation levels for free!
Reusable Water Bottles
If you are out there looting and come across a water bottle filled with tainted water, you can now empty that bottle out and fill it with some clean water from the safe zone.
Gameplay Enhancements
Stamina
Before, when you would sprint in a diagonal direction, you would have unlimited stamina! Now stamina is a far greater factor.
Safe Zones
There is no more loot in the safe zone! We noticed many people playing this free zombie survival game would just loot where they spawn and think that was the whole demo. Nope! Now you must go out there and get your hands dirty.
Bug Fixes
Floating Ghost Magazines
No more annoying mags floating around in the air!
Cursor Disappearing
Yeah. You’re going to need that!
New Additions
Gamma Slider
For those that think night is too dark, don’t worry! Now you have a gamma slider in the setting to harness the power of the sun. Even when it is night.
Hunger Bar
Also, hunger has been added. Be sure to get food or survival will be short-lasting.
Kill Station
This is one of the other crafting benches! The use is in the name. If you want to kill, you must craft this bench!
New Items
Good luck finding them. No spoilers here!
Quality of Life Changes
Finally, crafting times have been adjusted. Along with vendor economy changes and more.

Ever since I built my first PC to play custom zombie maps on 'Call of Duty: World at War,' I knew PC gaming would be a huge part of my life. My passion for zombies didn't just stop there—I grew up playing iconic games on my PlayStation 2 and 3, like 'Resident Evil 5,' 'Dead Rising,' 'The Walking Dead,' 'Fallout,' 'Bioshock,' and the 'Sly' series. However, once I switched to PC, there was no looking back; my PlayStations found their way into storage, and my heart stayed with PC gaming.
My love for survival games deepened with 'Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead’s DayZ' mod, where fate had me meet Dev Ear and Dev SuperPoggers atop the triple yellow in Cherno. A simple meetup on TeamSpeak turned into a lifelong friendship. We've traveled across states—from California to Florida—bonding over countless survival games like 'Rust Legacy' and 'WarZ.' Our adventures led us to run our own Rust servers and Minecraft communities, even tinkering with game development tools like Unity and Unreal Engine.
Our shared dreams and dedication have culminated in the creation of ZSGO, our ultimate zombie survival game. Bringing our collective expertise and creativity to the table, we're committed to crafting an unforgettable gaming experience that stands out in the survival genre.
Howdy survivors!
I'm Dev Ear and I mainly handle the gameplay loop, web development, and Discord! I have also been surviving online FPS games for 10+ years. I have probably briefly touched every survival fps game you can think of.

The current survival fps drought means that it’s time for our team to step in and create what everyone has been waiting for!
Besides game development, I like making music and every now and then touching some grass. Since release, it's been nothing but ZSGO however. Can't wait to see what the game evolves into!
See you all in ZSGO!
