As is tradition when these kind of milestones occur, Microsoft has revealed some stats. For example, almost 2 billion zombies have been shot, stabbed, and battered with baseball bats since launch. We also now know that, on average, players tend to survive only three days. Sort yourselves out, yeah?

Undead Labs recently released a whopping 20GB patch for the game, fixing a host of annoying bugs.
