The response to the success of Fortnite , however, has left many scratching their heads. Bluehole decided that the best course of action was to sue Epic Games over Fortnite , before promptly dropping the suit . It left the publisher as something to mock for many, both over its vicious reaction to a competitor and over the idea that PUBG could lay claim to the genre as a wh

Chumacera is the husk of Miramar's once thriving textile industry. Long abandoned factories overlook a main road lined with residential and commercial buildings. Verticality in both the buildings and terrain make this town an exciting location to loot- high risk, high opportun

With the video game landscape currently littered with a wide variety of Battle Royale titles, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds should be recognized as a more specialized and concentrated approach to the genre, as its heart lies primarily in the tactical-shooter domain. The PS4 version reflects this in more ways than one by retaining practically all of the main elements found in the game's PC, Xbox One, and mobile iterations . However, the complete experience and presentation of PUBG on the Sony console can often be hit or m

PUBG has brought a whole new meaning to the word sterile. Even today the game looks like an earlier edition of Call of Duty that was stripped down to it's barest of bones. The only personality it has that comes to mind is the iconic level three helmet and the frying pan, but there's not much more than t

While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds makes use of vehicles, Realm Royale mostly uses mounts such as horses, tropical travelers, raptors, wolfs, and unicorns. Realm Royale is comparable to Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , but the gameplay is truly uni

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

The most popular game of its kind deserves placement on this list and praise for what it's accomplished for the battle royale genre. Fortnite has changed quite a bit since its release way back in 2017. The level of detail has improved significantly and it's added features like cross-platform play, new skins, and fish

Realm Royale does just enough to distinguish itself from Fortnite to make itself relevant in the battle royale scene. Realm Royale is still in the early access stage, but the game is free-to-play, so there is little reason not to jump into the g

As bad as Fallout 76 is, though, it pales in comparison to the way Bethesda handled communication over the game. Pre-order customers were disgusted by the presentation of the Power Armor edition of the game, with a canvas bag that failed to make it into the version dedicated buyers expected. Bethesda claimed it had been too expensive to make, but that didn't stop them from sending out a similar product to "influencers" for fr

All of this is not to say that PUBG on PS4 isn't fun, as it's definitely a serviceable experience for Battle Royale aficionados who want a more strategic and deliberately paced alternative to competitors like Fortnite and Black Ops 4 's Blackout . Unfortunately, though, there are still a host of problems that PUBG Corp. needs to address so as to justify the PlayStation 4 port's $30 price

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

The landscape and squad-based combat of Ring of Elysium reminds us all too much of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. One might wonder why they would play Ring of Elysium when they could just as easily play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Well, Project windless the former allows players to swim underwater past coral reefs and aquatic structures. Also, with a grappling hook and other cool features, the gameplay of Ring of Elysium does more than enough to distinguish its

But player counts don't mean everything, and if we're still talking numbers, than PUBG mobile's player count of 400 million truly takes the cake. Statistics finally aside, it's time to tackle the meat and potatoes of these two games and decide which one is a truly battle royale k

While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has a mobile version, this contrasts from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout and Call of Duty: Mobile, which are two distinct games. The level of detail and exploration in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout make it an outstanding battle royale g

In a marketplace crowded with Battle Royale titles , PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 manages to deliver a fine, albeit flawed rendition on the genre, which is somewhat of a shame considering the lengthy amount of time it took for PUBG Corp. to finish and release it on the console. After all, with the game having been available for quite a while on Android, iOS, PC, and Xbox One prior to being obtainable on PlayStation 4, one would think that a lot of the lessons learned from those versions would have been applied to the PS4 iteration to eliminate any lingering issues in the p
