- Gameplay tips and details on tool, weapon and facility upgrades.
If you’re just starting your journey in Zombie Graveyard Simulator, here’s our first piece of advice: don’t let the peaceful daytime fool you. A well-organized cemetery is your best defense when night falls and trust us, you’ll appreciate every upgrade once the zombies start pouring in.
We’re excited that you can jump into Zombie Graveyard Simulator today on Xbox Series X|S, and even more excited that you’re getting much more than the original launch experience. Since the game’s debut on PC, we’ve continued expanding it with major content updates inspired by community feedback, and all of those improvements are included from day one on Xbox.
One of my favorite additions is the Stone Quarry & Workshop. Thanks to this update, you can mine different types of stone, craft your own gravestones, and develop an entirely new production chain that makes your cemetery feel even more like a living business. The more self-sufficient your operation becomes, the easier it is to keep growing.
The world also became much bigger thanks to Expeditions. Rather than spending every day inside the cemetery gates, you’ll answer distress calls, venture into new locations, complete unique objectives, and return with valuable rewards that help expand your business back home. It completely changes the rhythm of the game and offers a welcome break from your daily routine.
We’ve also continued adding systems that make your cemetery feel more alive. The Chapel Expansion introduces new buildings, employees, and activities that improve both efficiency and atmosphere, while dynamic weather effects make every day look a little different. Updates like High Stakes & Hot Ashes introduced new cremation mechanics, custom urns, delivery systems, and additional progression paths, giving you even more ways to grow your cemetery exactly the way you want.
If you’re looking for a few beginner tips, we’d recommend focusing on your daytime economy before investing heavily in combat. A profitable cemetery means more money for stronger weapons and better defenses. Don’t overlook upgrades that improve your daily workflow, either – saving just a few minutes every in-game day adds up over time. And when you do head into battle each night, remember that good barricade placement can often be just as valuable as having a bigger gun.
Perhaps one of the game’s biggest additions, Expeditions, came directly from players asking to explore beyond the cemetery walls. That conversation with the community has shaped nearly every major update we’ve released, from the Stone Quarry & Workshop to new progression systems and quality-of-life improvements.
Whether you’re here for the relaxing management gameplay, the satisfaction of building a thriving cemetery, or the thrill of surviving another night against the undead, there’s never been a better time to jump in. Zombie Graveyard Simulator is available now on Xbox Series X|S, and we can’t wait to see how you build and defend your very own cemetery.
