Top 10 Best Battle Royale Games In The World (December 2020)

If somebody asks for the best battle royale game for mobile, PUBG and Free Fire definitely would be one of the most popular answers. However, if the question was about the PC/Console version, it would be much harder to determine the winners.

In this article, we would list out the top 10 best battle royale games in the world. While this list will only count PC/Console numbers, the mobile versions would also be taken into consideration in a few cases. This list follows no particular order.

Call Of Duty: Warzone

Warzone is the newest name in the battle royale scene - it is a free-to-play mode of Call of Duty Modern Warfare that anyone can download.

Pros: Warzone has 150 players on one massive Verdansk instead of the usual 100, a 1vs1 "Gulag" mode after a player gets killed... along with various quests that you can complete while moving around the map. It has a huge weapon arsenal - one of the biggest in this list, with Call of Duty Modern Warfare being the base game.

Cons: The game's graphics requirements are really high - you would need a pretty beefy computer to be able to play it.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Often considered the original Battle Royale - it is the first game that kickstarts this trend. It is a lot more serious than other games on the list, with a focus on realism.

Pros: Not much to say about this game - it is the originator of the modern battle royale genre.

Cons: Unlike the mobile version, the PC version is not free - you have to buy it on Steam. Furthermore, its system requirements are also pretty high, almost on par with Call of Duty Warzone.

Fortnite

Riding on PUBG's coattail and eventually surpasses it, Fortnite has been staying on top of the genre ever since.

Pros: Epic Game's free-to-play battle royale has the biggest twist in gameplay - besides fighting each other to the death, players also gather resources in the environment to build structures, which can be used for various purposes like protecting fallen allies, getting the high ground... etc. Fortnite also has fairly low graphics requirements and crossplay between Mobile and PC, something no other battle royales have.

Cons: You might not like the style - Fortnite is the farthest away from "realistic".

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout

Bored of the usual shooter battle royale? Fall Guys would definitely be a breath of fresh air.

Pros: It is a "minigame" style set of levels that 60 players must brave until there's only one left. After every round, a certain number of players would be eliminated. The gameplay is cutesy, raucous fun... even younger kids would be able to enjoy it

Cons: It is not a free game - you must buy it on steam to play. Furthermore, there's no mobile version yet.

Apex Legends

Another name in a long line of BR clones... however, this one has more life than most.

Pros: Apex Legends is a free to play squad-based battle royale - you would work in a group of 3 to fight against other teams. Furthermore, with a Hero Class system similar to Free Fire... the team-based gameplay is much more dynamic than the usual Squad mode in PUBG - each member would have a unique ability.

Cons: Apex's weakness is probably its higher than average system requirements and a smaller playerbase than other games on this list.

Blazing Sails

Another non-shooter BR... this time, the battlefield is on the high seas.

Pros: In this game, you would step into the shoes of a battleship captain, firing off cannons and try to sink enemies ships while keeping your vessel afloat. This is a rather unique experience rarely seen in popular games.

Cons: It is a paid game on Steam... and the player base is fairly small currently - you might not get a good ping playing it.

Cuisine Royale

Cuisine Royale is a brutal MMO last-man-standing shooter with realistic weaponry, elements of lethal mystic forces and incredible superpowers. If you're looking for something a little bit different than the norm - this game might be your best choice.

Pros: CR is a Free-to-Play 3rd person BR with focuses on equipment. While other games have only a small list of guns and items you can find on the world map, CR gives you much more: there's a cigar that gives you extra health in exchange for revealing your position, a pair of bunny slippers that lets you double jump... etc. No two games of CR are the same.

Cons: CR is only available on Steam and has a fairly low playerbase.

Ring of Elysium

Another Free-to-Play BR worth checking out on Steam - Ring of Elysium's twist is that everything outside of the circle would be destroyed immediately.

Pros: With the destructive circle along with various modes of transport like the glider, snowboards and grappling hooks, you would get some pretty frantic and fast-paced gameplay.

Cons: The game is fairly demanding - you would need a good PC to run it.

Forza Horizon 4: The Eliminator

Another non-shooter BR - this time it is a racing battle royale... something no one has tried before.

Pros: You just have to outdrive other players in this game - the Eliminator mode would have you move around the map looking for vehicles then race to the final circle.

Cons: This is the game with the least interaction with enemy players. If you like to be aggressive and attack your enemies, Forza would not be a good choice.

Totally Accurate Battlegrounds

A parody game of PUBG with almost the same gameplay.

Pros: The weird physics, funny graphics and parody humor make this game a total blast... especially if you are a fan of PUBG.

Cons: It is a paid game on Steam, which leads to a lower playerbase.
