There’s a time for competitive games, and a time for casual games. Sometimes you want to go at it with everything you got, sometimes you want to play a little slower paced. Say you want a mix of both though, you might think you're in a bind. Don't worry, we’ve been there!
Whether you’re looking for moment-to-moment thrills or longer paced shootouts, battle royale games are right for you! And if you need a new game to dive into, we’ve got the list for you! Check out our list of the Top 10 Battle Royale Games in 2024 and see if there's something for you!
10. Call of Duty®: Warzone™
Call of Duty®: Warzone™ is a large-scale battle royale game, all about staying on the move in lightning quick firefights.
You’ll parachute off of a plane and into a massive arena at the start of the match. Try Get to the ground and grab some guns as fast as you can, because the rest of the one hundred and fifty player lobby is just as desperate as you are.
We love it for its fast paced gunplay and detailed arenas. Keep your eyes open when you're fighting, because you never know when you might stumble across a hidden escape door or a stash of loot!
Reminder: don't forget to look up!
9. NARAKA: BLADEPOINT
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is a melee focused battle royale game, focused on quick, high stakes sword on sword action. Pick from a variety of heroes and weapons to battle it out until only the strongest remains. You’ll run, jump and climb around cities and monuments chasing down and crossing swords with sixty other players. Don’t forget to look up, because you never know when someone might swoop down to get the drop on you!
This is the only battle royale game currently on the market focused on melee combat, so if you don’t feel confident with guns, this might be the game for you!
We love NARAKA: BLADEPOINT for its focused gameplay and the variety of classes to choose from. If you ever feel stuck, there’s always a way to switch up your tactics until you find your playstyle.
Oooo, shiny!
8. PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is one of the first Battle Royale games, still maintaining a massive player base over seven years later! It's all about scavenging and sneaking your way around a war torn map, and you’ll need to think quickly to stay on top.
Parachute onto a massive map and get some weapons quickly, because it won’t be long until the gunfire starts! Keep your head down and watch out for snipers, and you’re sure to succeed!
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is unique among other battle royale games for its simplicity. There are no perk builds or characters, so it’s all about the gunplay. If you're confident in your skills, there’s no better arena to prove it than here!
We love this one for its simple, focused gameplay. It's very easy to pick up and go, but if you want to elevate your skills, the competitive scene is always open for new challengers.
We also recommend grabbing a car to get out of danger!
7. Fortnite
Fortnite is the biggest battle royale game on the planet, centered on fun gunplay and unique mechanics. you’ll need to keep an eye on the ground under your feet, because every building on the map is destructible and you never know who might be knocking the foundations out while you grab some loot!
Your goal is to take down other players and stay outside of a deadly storm that closes in, forcing players together into tighter and tighter arenas. If you get put in a pinch, grab some materials and build your own way out! (sometimes literally)
It’s all about variety here! Pop open a loot crate while you're out, and you might dig out anything from a simple pistol to an explosive snowball launcher!
We like Fortnite for its light-hearted approach to gaming, full of cartoonish action and frantic fun!
Hoverboards, golf carts and vikings. This game really does have it all!
6. Apex Legends
Apex Legends is a Sci-Fi battle royale game, centered on its large cast of special characters. Pick from 25 unique characters and jump into a lightning quick round!
This one is all about speed in every aspect of gameplay. Players can run along walls, jump from rooftop to rooftop and slide down slopes, and the average game will only last fifteen to twenty minutes!
We love Apex Legends for its colorful cast of characters, full of voice lines and interactions, not to mention an array of deadly powers and abilities. With a cast that ranges from a stunt racer to a killer robot, there’s sure to be someone fit for you!
Surprise lightning bolt, gotta keep ‘em guessing
5. THE FINALS
Go in guns lazing, get the drop on your enemies with a katana, or collapse the building they're in with explosives, it’s all on the table! The game encourages destructive fun, handing you enough explosives and firepower to level the map!
We love THE FINALS for its destructive, fun-focused gameplay. You won’t go more than a minute without stumbling across something to blow up or someone to shoot at, and that's just the way we like it.
Kaboom!
4. Hunt: Showdown
You’ll spend your time hunting down other players and dangerous monsters in the haunted swamps of Louisiana, armed with anything from a revolver to a jar of angry bees!
Hunt: Showdown is unique from other battle royale games, allowing you to take the gear you earned in one match and bring it over to the next (if you manage to survive, that is)
We love Hunt: Showdown for its variety of things to do in game, everything from facing off with enemy players and dueling with bosses to setting traps and tracking down clues, be ready to do a little bit of everything!
…maybe you’ll want to shower off after this particular swamp adventure
3.Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt
You’ll have to keep alert, because you'll be hunted by other players, investigators and regular humans if you get too obvious too quickly!
We love Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt partially just because you can't read the words “Vampire Battle Royale'' without thinking it's at least a little cool, and partially for its fast paced action and undeniably fun gameplay.
Element of surprise!
2. Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2023
Your objective is as simple as it gets. Doesn’t matter if it's battle royale, arena deathmatch, or any other mode, Get kills, and try to look cool doing it! While you’re out being awesome, don’t forget to snag the objectives, capturing points and holding ground where you find it.
We love this one for its incredibly fast, incredibly fun gameplay and map design, where every moment feels like you’re doing something cool.
Remember: always keep an eye out for sneaky players!
1. Chivalry 2
Chivalry 2 is all about hacking and slashing your way through castles and fortresses, (either defending or attacking) in realistic PVP swordplay. It's the best you can get for all your medieval sword fightin’ needs.
You’ll battle against other knights, either as a team or by yourself, with a variety of weapons, ranging from maces to swords to halberds to lances. You’ll need to stay on your toes, because the game’s combat is brutally realistic, and victory or death is only one sword swing away.
We love Chivalry 2 for its sword based action and incredibly welcoming community. Playing it is truly a different feeling than almost any other experience out there!
Victory. Sweet, sweet victory.
