Okay, we can’t have a list of Battle Royale games without talking about Fortnite. This is one of the most popular games out there. Fortnite didn’t start out as a Battle Royale powerhouse, but over time, it became synonymous with this game mode.
Fortnite exceeds due to its simplicity. Drop down, kill, loot, and survive the storm. You can also find dozens of characters from other pieces of media. Fan of Family Guy? Well, you can play as Peter Griffin and Brian now.

Apex Legends is another Battle Royale powerhouse, this time giving you the option to choose who you want to play as. Rather than playing as a random character (or choosing one with a specific skin), there are many characters that you can choose from.
For example, Loba is one option that you can choose from. This is a support character, with the ability to teleport. Other characters, on the other hand, won’t be able to do this, but they will have their own unique abilities. Apex Legends is perfect for those who want the thrill of a Battle Royale with a bit more complexity than Fortnite.
Fall Guys is a bit different from the previous two games on our list. Instead of fighting to kill other players, the goal in Fall Guys is to make it to the end of an obstacle course. As a little bean-shaped contestant, you will be a little off-balance and other players can crash into you, sending you flying off course.
This quirky Battle Royale gameshines when you play with a group of friends. Occasionally, everyone on your team may make it to the end of a course in record time, but more often than not, you will have to watch one team member continuously fall and roll around while being trampled by other players.
For those unfamiliar with Call of Duty, you may not know that there is a Battle Royale version. This free game puts you and 99 other players in one of a few different maps with one goal; kill! It’s important to note that Battle Royale is just one game mode in Warzone. you may also play the Resurgence mode, which is essentially a smaller-scale Battle Royale mode.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, you can play as a variety of different operators, with many skins available for you to purchase. The characters aren’t as zaney as those in Fortnite though; Warzone still has the rough feel of a Call of Duty game.
Naraka: Bladepoint is a unique addition to our list. Described as a “dive into the Legends of the Far East”, Nakara: Bladepoint draws inspiration from games such asDevil May CryandSekiro: Shadows Die Twice. With fast-paced action and a variety of characters to choose from, you can perfect a build that is unique to you.
This game alsodraws focus on the weapons that you use. Rather than relying on a gun to take you to the end, you may become a Katana expert, killing all of your opponents in close-combat; the choice is up to you!

Worms Rumbleis the only game on our list that costs money to play. If the title sounds strange, then wait until you learn what the game is about. Instead of playing as a hardened hero, Worms Rumble places you in the shoes of a small little worm.
As a worm, you can obtain new weapons such as the Bazooka or Plasma Blaster. Your worm’s style can also be changed up, allowing you to stand out among the worm-crowd. Due to its steep price for a Battle Royale game, you may find it difficult to find a full 32-player lobby, but once you do, you’ll get hooked on worm-to-worm combat.
Last but not least, we have CRSED. Within this game, you may play Cuisine Royale, which only involves realistic weapons and improvised armor. Above, you can see a player with pasta strainers as a helmet and shoulder pads.
Like many other games on our list, there are different champions that you can choose from, adding some variation to the gameplay. For veteran players of this game, you may have thought that Cuisine Royale mode was replaced by F.O.A.D. While this is true, the Cuisine Royale mode made a comeback in February 2024!
