Battle Royale

A multiplayer game genre where a large number of players (typically 60–150) compete to be the last player or team standing. Players are dropped onto a map, scavenge for weapons and equipment, and are funneled into ever-shrinking safe zones to force confrontation. The genre was popularized by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) in 2017 and exploded with Fortnite. Other examples include Apex Legends, Warzone, and PUBG: Battlegrounds.
