Each match begins with a drop onto a map. Choose where to land, then search buildings and surrounding areas for weapons and supplies.
Equip weapons with attachments, collect useful tools, and decide whether to seek out contested Care Packages or avoid early fights. Matches can be played alone or with teammates.
As the Safe Zone shrinks, survivors are pushed into closer encounters. Elimination ends your run; the goal is to outlast the other players. Team Deathmatch, rotating Arcade modes, seasonal events, and custom lobbies offer other ways to play.
The supplied reviews are largely critical, especially about cheating and how the game is managed. Among the positive comments, players value the gunplay, the tension of the final circles, and the memorable matches they play with friends. Some also describe the game as tactical and rewarding, while others say these strengths are undermined by their experiences.
LAND
Drop into an ever-growing and changing selection of maps to keep you challenged. Will you choose the safer outskirts and risk not getting enough loot or hot drop into the dense cities and fight from the moment you hit the ground? Every drop is different, it's up to you to make the best with what you find.
LOOT
With unique weapons, a variety of supplies, and special tools to outwit your opponents, how you outfit yourself is up to you! Kit out your favorite weapons with powerful attachments or risk going after the hotly contested Care Packages for unique loot to give you the edge you need to win.
SURVIVE
Stocking up is only the beginning. With the Safe Zone growing ever smaller as time goes on, your risk of running into other survivors dramatically increases. Die and you're out. You'll need to outthink, outrun, or outshoot your opponents if you're to be the last one standing and claim ultimate victory.
MANY WAYS TO PLAY,
Warm up in Team Deathmatch, try out constantly changing modes in the Arcade, drop into the latest seasonal event, or build your own custom lobby and challenge your friends to something unique.
EVERY MATCH IS UNIQUE
No two battles are the same, and everything hinges on the choices you make to land, loot and survive. Drop into the Battlegrounds where victory hinges on every move and every choice, and fight to be the last one standing.
