Battle Royales have been quite popular for some time now. The “Hunger Games” style of gameplay quickly became a favorite in the late 2010s, when most of the big Battle Royale games were released. Many games have added their own touch to the genre, making each title incredibly unique.
So which Battle Royale games stand out from the rest?
Battle Royales: Which games are the best?
Battle Royales are a style of video game in which players fight until the last one standing. Most titles begin each match with people jumping out of some type of flying vehicle (planes, battle buses, etc.), and players have to land somewhere on the map and explore for loot.
No one starts with weapons in Battle Royales, making the game style heavily RNG-based.
Here is a list of the The five best Battle Royale games.
5.H1Z1
Z1 Battle Royale (part of H1Z1) was one of the first Battle Royale games to gain traction. The game may not have been perfect, but its style of play easily won the hearts of many players. Battle Royales were fairly new at the time, making H1Z1 a breath of fresh air for gamers.
4. Fallen Boys
You can’t have a list of the best Battle Royales without including Fall Guys. Fall Guys quickly took the gaming world by storm with its unique spin on gaming style. Rather than being a battle royale style shooter, Fall Guys featured several mini-games, of which players would be eliminated as they progressed.
Think Mario Party, but Battle Royale style. This was the first of its kind, easily making it one of the best Battle Royale games ever released.

3. Apex Legends
Apex Legends stands as one of the most popular Battle Royales to date. The game brought a Titanfall style of gameplay (both games were developed by Respawn Entertainment) and each player had to play as a specific operator. Each operator had their own skill, which meant teams had to really decide who would play as who.
The addition of skills added a new type of strategy to Battle Royales, making Apex Legends one of the best games to date.

2. War zone
Call of Duty’s version of the Battle Royale mode has continued to remain one of the most popular games in the industry. With Warzone currently dominating the gaming scene, it’s safe to say that the first-person shooter isn’t going anywhere. Call of Duty’s fluid mechanics combined with a huge map easily made the game a fan favorite.
Oh, and we can’t forget about the Gulag, where players who die have a chance to return to the game. No other Battle Royale has a feature like that, making Warzone one of the best Battle Royales on the market.
1.Fortnite
