Battle Royale

One Map. One Winner. - The Best Battle Royale Games Across PC, Console and Mobile

Battle royale games took over gaming in 2017 and never really let go. The format - drop a large number of players onto a shrinking map with limited resources and let them fight until one survives - turned out to be one of the most compelling competitive structures ever designed. PUBG popularized it. Fortnite made it mainstream. Apex Legends proved there was still room to innovate.

The appeal is the stakes. Every match is a fresh start. Every decision - where to land, when to fight, when to run - carries real consequence. The shrinking zone creates natural tension that escalates throughout every match, forcing confrontations that neither player planned for. No two games play the same way.

The genre has diversified significantly. Fortnite's building mechanics and constant collaborations have kept it relevant for years. Warzone brought military realism to the format. Apex Legends introduced movement mechanics and a ping system that became industry standards. PUBG remains the benchmark for tactical realism. On mobile, BGMI and Free Fire have built massive audiences across South and Southeast Asia. Find the best battle royale games of 2026 across every platform on GAMES.GG.
