1. DayZ: Battle Royale
DayZ mod for Arma 2 is the game which actually started the whole battle royale genre. The creator of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the one to develop this battle royale mod, which is known as DayZ for Arma 2. In this game, players spawn on a remote island filled with brain-eating zombies. You can try to survive this zombie apocalypse by working with other players on the island, or just going solo and killing everyone who comes in your way. Players respawn quickly when they die. Also, there are no danger zones in the game to gather player. There are small differences from other battle royale games out there, but still, DayZ is the game where it all actually started and players learned to never trust anyone on the island except for themselves.
2. H1Z1: King of the Kill
H1Z1: King of the Kill is a third-person multiplayer shooter/survival game that also comes with a battle royale game mode making it a similar game to PUBG. This mode offers the same gameplay experience as other battle royale games with a random spawn point on a map with a shrinking active play area. H1Z1 retains the crafting feature in the game which lets you craft different items including healing and other essential tools by gathering resources from around the map. If you get bored of the battle royal mode then H1Z1 also offers other game modes including the standard death-match to keep you entertained.
3. The Culling
The culling is a story based first-person shooter that also provides the battle royale experience. It also explains why people are trying to kill each other in a remote area. All the players are contestants in a Condemned or Hunger Games like battle where only the fittest one will survive. In the game, whoever accumulates the most points wins. Apart from other humans trying to kill you, there are also environmental hazards that you must avoid in order to survive. A deep selection of items is available for you to find and use to your advantage. Points gained can be used to upgrade your character’s certain traits including melee or ranged combat abilities. Maximum of 16 players with teams of two players are allowed which makes the matches quite short. If you want a quick and simple battle royale game then this is the title for you.
4. Unturned: Arena Mode
Unturned is one of the most popular games available on Steam. It’s a sandbox style survival game with a zombie apocalypse theme. Unturned also features an online and offline survival mode where players can team up, gather resources, build items, and survive in the zombie-infested world. The Arena mode is what makes it similar to PUBG in terms of gameplay. A group of people randomly spawn at different locations on a map where they have to fight each other, and the last man/woman standing is the winner. The graphics in the game are not what you are used to in survival games. It does away with high-definition 3D graphics in favour of a more Minecraft-like block graphics. Still, Unturned is a really exciting game and definitely worth a try.
5. Rust: Battle Royale
Rust is one of the most popular multiplayer survival game out there. It also has a number of servers that are still running the unofficial “Battle Royale” game mode which pits a group of people against each other in the last man standing death-match. The game starts you off naked with just a rock to defend yourself. You then roam the area and scour for items, clothings, food, and weapons to defend yourself properly. You can even form alliances with other players during the game and band-up together to kill other players. However, since the game only has one winner at the end, it’s always a good choice to not trust anyone because no matter how good of a friend you’ve become, one of you has to die at the end.
6. Ark: Survival Evolved
Ark: Survival Evolved started off as a survival game with a prehistoric theme where you get to fight against dinosaurs and other historic beasts. However, following the battle royale craze, Ark introduced the Survival of the fittest game mode, where it puts up to 72 different players head-to-head against each other, either solo, or in tribes. You don’t only have to worry about other players who are trying to kill you but be wary of dinosaurs and other beasts, and any environmental disaster that could wipe you off from the face of the earth. The best part is that you can also tame the dinosaurs and use them in the battle against other players, however, they are much easier to kill in the battle royale mode.
7. ARMA 3: Battle Royale
Arma 3’s battle royale mod is known as “PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale” because it was developed by the same people who developed the hit “PlayerUnknown’s Battle Grounds” game. If you want to experience how PUBG came to existence then playing ARMA 3: Battle Royale and DayZ would definitely bring you up to speed with the inception of the game. This mod provides an extreme survival mode that throws player right in the middle of the battlefield where only one person must emerge victorious over others. This mod is based on the movie “Battle Royale” and plays similar to the movie as well. If you want some old school bloody survival gameplay experience, then go ahead and give Arma 3 a try, it’s definitely worth it.

The best mode in this new addition is the Motor Wars which lets you pick four teams of players that are thrown into a random area of the GTA V map. Everyone parachutes onto a random location on a huge map. It features a battleground similar to other battle royale games which has an ever-shrinking safe zone that brings all the enemies together slowly. So, if you already love GTA V and want to experience a battlegrounds-like gameplay in this exciting game then Smuggler’s Run is the perfect mod for you to play.
13. Fortnite
This a new addition to the battle royale genre. This game is available on your consoles as well as PC. This game pits up to 100 players in a battle to the death on a very large map similar to all other battle royale titles. This game is epic, and completely revamps the battle royale genre. The battle royale mode in the game is so good that PlayerUnknown’s is threatening to sue the Fortnite developers for copying their style, which is just absurd. If you want to enjoy epic survival in the battle of the fittest on your consoles, and even on PC, then Fortnite is probably one of the best games out there. It’s also getting constant updates and development so it’s definitely the right time to hop in the arena.
