For players who can't get into Fortnite or Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout battle royale mode, PUBG is certainly worth checking out, but only for those who have a PlayStation 4 Pro. The game can barely run on the standard PS4 and it's not even worth trying there. It's important to note that there's less available in the PlayStation 4 version of the g

Call of Duty: Mobile is a free-to-play mobile game with a battle royale mode. Naturally, as a game that entered the mobile market, it faced fierce competition in an already saturated market. To the surprise of many, Call of Duty: Mobile managed to distinguish itself from other mobile games with intuitive gamep

Needless to say, PUBG quickly rose up the charts on Steam and among influencers on Twitch and YouTube to dethrone H1Z1 and hit record levels of concurrent players. Despite a small development cycle and Project windless small dev team (since renamed PUBG Corporation), PUBG became a phenomenon as an early access games as a service title, so much so, that Microsoft signed a one-year exclusivity deal to bring it to Xbox by the end of 2

The largest city in the region, Los Leones features ample shopping, a skyline filled with new construction, and a glorious, golden-hued City Center. Players should secure high vantage points by exploring the numerous construction sites, and loot for gear in the cavernous, abandoned commercial buildi

Skorpion was added to the game last year, but it never really appealed to the player base. It’s essentially a pocket SMG, that one can carry around without using the primary weapon slot. However, the Skorpion does need a lot of attachments to be effective, and even then, it’s not something to brag about. It’s better to invest the attachments to the primary weapon as Skorpion barely holds against other weapons in the g

Valle del Mar is a colorful oceanside town bisected by the De Toro bridge. To the West of the bridge is a quaint school, and to the East, a beautiful church. The key to holding this town is bridge control, as it's the only direct route between mainland and the isl

File this one under "could have been multiplayer game of the year just a few years ago." Ubisoft's For Honor takes multiplayer combat to the extreme, featuring one of the most nuanced and complicated battle systems in the genre, coupled with an eye for historical accuracy that rivals even the Assassin's Creed series. For Honor 's single-player campaign is worth mentioning as well, as it houses some of the best writing and level design in the multiplayer genre and should be a blueprint for those who come after it in 2

Battlefield is well-known for large scale maps concerning players. Now that Battlefield V includes a battle royale game mode, it has cemented itself as one of the greatest first-person shooters of all t

On PC, PUBG has settled in after its massive player base began shrinking month after month, and it runs well enough on high-end PCs. On consoles, though, it's not a recommendable experience, especially on the PS4 version of the game which gets embarrassed in visuals and performance by more recent shooters Black Ops 4 and Battlefield

No list of the year's best multiplayer games would be complete without PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . It's difficult to express just how successful the game, which started as an early access title on Steam and became a worldwide phenomenon overnight, has truly been, but we will try. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds set a new record for most concurrent Steam users earlier this year, surpassing industry staples like Dota 2 , while also forming the foundation of a new eSport and online streaming sensation, with the title frequently occupying one of the top spots of metrics tracking Twitch's viewership figu

With over 50 million downloads on the Google Play Store, Call of Duty: Mobile is less popular than PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but maintains a sizeable player base. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has over 100 million downloads on the Google Play St

Late to the game but certainly well worth the wait is Electronic Arts' Apex Legends . Apex Legends released in early 2019, a few years after PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It utilizes character classes called 'Legends.' Each Legend is either offensive, defensive, support, or recon and plays a vital role in the success of a t

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds or more popularly know as PUBG boasts a huge arsenal of weapons to choose from. Ranging from meager pistols to powerhouse rifles, there is a weapon for every scenario and playstyle. With a big roster of weapons comes the question as to which weapon players should priorit

Unfortunately, that thrill is marred by bad interface designs that make looting and managing inventory painful and dangerous, given that you can be shot while navigating tabs and manually moving things around while trying to loot or mod a weapon. The devs did minimal work in translating the game to console controllers, and didn't take any of the learnings from other games that do this bet
