A Battle Royale is defined as numerous characters fighting each other until only one remains victorious. The concept is as old as time and has been depicted in various media through the years, with the Japanese novel Battle Royale becoming the Trope Namer. While having its origins in the Arena Shooter subgenre, it blossomed into its actual form during The New '10s, due to the shift it made to Competitive Multiplayer. Inspired by the film adaptation of the aforementioned Battle Royale, it started as a mod in ARMA, but the concept expanded into other games, and by 2017, became the dominant trend in video games thanks to the overwhelming popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which itself was quickly surpassed by Fortnite. Modern battles royale usually work by a specific formula: Players, usually reaching 50 or 100 mark, can form a squad of two to four, or play "solo" where everyone else is hostile. Players start off with almost nothing but the clothes on their back. Players start in either an airborne transportation and have to skydive and parachute to the wide-open area (most common), or start in a randomly-determined area (less common). Players have to find medical aid items and weaponry to keep themselves alive and battle others. Those who are killed are out of the match for good, though some games have a revival or Comeback Mechanic that allows killed players to rejoin the game, usually the squad based ones. Playing in squad often put downed players in a bleedout state where they can be revived before being killed for good, either from additional sustained attack or bleedout. The match itself is often regulated with a target score and/or time limit that will eventually guarantee a victor. The time limit is usually an Advancing Wall of Doom in the form of an enclosing circle of fire, energy, electricity, deadly fog, or what have you. A similar variation is the Last Man Standing or Last Team Standing mode. Players generally have a limited number of lives rather than a time limit, and players usually start with a predetermined selection of equipment to use. Once you're out of lives, you're eliminated from further playing. Differs from the other FPS subgenres in the following ways: Arena Shooter: Not only BR games have a much higher player count per match (between 50-100, compared with the AFPS 2-16 players), they can also choose where to drop from a flying bus (unlike the AFPS's static respawn points) and they start off without a loadout (whereas the AFPS at least have a Starting Loadout). Oh, and in AFPS players don't have to wait until respawning again, whereas players taken down from a BR game are gone for good in the match. Hero Shooter: BR games don't have abilities that separate every playable character from each other, and the usual number of players per match is located in the 8-12 players per match compared to the 50-100 of BR games. Looter Shooter: These genres share the looting mechanic, but that's where the similarities end. Looter Shooters tend to be more cooperative in nature, whereas BR games are more competitive. Looter Shooter matches tend to have 2-4 players at max compared to the 50-100 players of BR. Tactical Shooter: While in some games there may be an overlapping of tropes such as the ability to aim down the sights, most BR games are cartoonish and unrealistic in nature, whereas tactical shooters are more focused on realism. This is the video game equivalent and subtrope of Deadly Game (where the victor is the last one alive.) Compare with Mêlée à Trois (in which three or more factions or individuals are locked in a battle with no predetermined alliances). Related to Survival Sandbox. Subtrope of Player Elimination, which covers other games where players can be eliminated. |

Fallout 76 announced the "Nuclear Winter" expansion at E3 2019, which adds a Battle Royale mode. Vault 51 was designed to not have an Overseer looking after its residents. It has the unique social experiment that if anyone wants to become the Overseer, they need to be the last one alive to rightfully claim it. Players need to scavenge for armor, weapons, and supplies while dealing with both other players and the irradiated wildlife of Appalachia before being engulfed in a ring of fire. | |

Deceive Inc. combines the genre with a Social Deduction Game. Here, players are spies on a mission to retrieve a MacGuffin, and must use Holographic Disguises to blend in with the NPCs and complete the mission. However, only one spy can get the paycheck—as such, players must also track each other down to eliminate competition. | |

Unreal Tournament 4 has the Showdown mode, where two teams pick their spawn points and start with the usual Impact Hammer+Enforcer loadout. Items spawn in maps in their usual locations, and once they're picked, they disappear until the next round. "Team Showdown" is the team-based equivalent. | |

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive added a Battle Royale mode by the end of 2018 called the "Danger Zone". In "Danger Zone", one can collect money from boxes or completing objectives such as rescuing hostages, which then it can be used to request weapon delivery based on the accumulated money, and in team of two, can respawn as long as the other team member alive. Instead of an encroaching circle acting as a time limit to finish the match, the game map is split into several hexagonal tiles, with certain areas of the tiles being "shut off" as the match continues. | |

Fortnite was originally designed as a single-player Zombie Apocalypse survival game; Save the World, where you needed to build up defenses to hold off the Husks. On something of a whim, the developers made the battle royale game mode as an Homage to PUBG, not intending for it to be very popular. However, the end result turned out to make the game into an absolute juggernaut of the genre. Its Free-To-Play model combined with the cartoonish graphics, intuitive controls, smooth performance even on lower-end hardware and consoles, and building mechanics quickly made it one of the most played, most streamed, and most viewed video games in 2017, 2018, and 2019. In addition to the single-player, the game features different modes such as forming up in team groups of 4 or setting 50 vs. 50 players. | |

Path of Exile, an Action RPG primarily played as Player Versus Environment retooled itself into this genre as a 2017 April Fools' Day joke, becoming Path of Exile: Royale temporarily. Winners were awarded "Rhoa dinners"note Rhoa are aggressive birds based on the Real Life Moa native to Grinding Gear Games home of New Zealand as trophies to display in their customizable Home Base. It returned in 2021 as a more properly dedicated game mode as a weekend-only event, with its own PvP balance and skill tree and even bigger Rhoa dinners to win. | |

Garena Free Fire, a smaller, more mobile alternative released before PUBG released their mobile versions. While Garena Free Fire is highly popular (usually goes toe to toe with PUBG in Google Play's chart) in South East Asia and South America due to the lower system requirements, the game's more arcade-ish spins, different gun handling (where bullet spread is likelier the farther the gun shoots) and reliance on powerups and exclusive, time-limited skins with stat modifiers has made some player accuse it as an Allegedly Free Game that relies on Bribing Your Way to Victory. | |

F-Zero 99 involves 99 players duking it out in the original SNES version of F-Zero (1990). Players can be KO-ed by crashing into obstacles and/or being bumped into by other players too often or racing too poorly, as the game gradually filters out the players in the last few places. That said, since it's still a Racing Game, eliminating other players is not necessary to win, you just need to cross the finish line on the final lap before anyone else (it's possible, and in fact common, to take 1st place without destroying another player). | |

The Division has a Downloadable Content game mode called "Survival", which deviates a bit from standard battle royale fare. Instead of having a shrinking playable area, players have a limited lifespan due to an injury that infects them with sepsis, although said lifespan can be increased by looting and using antibiotics or syringes. The objective also isn't to be the last one standing; instead, players are required to infiltrate the Dark Zone and extract themselves (plus a box of antivirals as an optional objective) via helicopter to safety. To prevent players from just simply sneaking their way to victory, clothing must be looted to deal with below-freezing temperatures that get progressively worse the closer one is to the Dark Zone. The last major difference with "conventional" battle royales is extensive use of PVE elements, featuring enemy NPCs from the main campaign and a Wolf Pack Boss guarding Dark Zone helicopter landing pads as a gear check. | |

The Bomberman series has often featured a robust multiplayer mode in which up to four players place bombs and collect level-ups to defeat the other players. Later installments would up the ante by allowing 8, sometimes 16 players to nuke and duke it out all at once. Most modern games feature a second chance to ruin the surviving players by letting defeated players toss bombs into the arena from the outside walls. | |

The now-defunct Bosskey Production's Radical Heights was a last ditch attempt at keeping the studio alive after the commercial flop that was LawBreakers. Radical Heights existed in early access for only about a month before the studio — and the servers — shut down, but the game had the unique ideas of allowing players to earn money and deposit it into a bank, allowing them to take it out of an ATM to buy weapons in future matches. Instead of an encroaching circle acting as a time limit to finish the match, the game map was split into a square grid, with certain areas of the grid being "shut off" as the match continued. The cash-based mechanics and the square grid section eventually reused by Valve for Counter Strike: Global Offensive's Danger Zone mode, although the cash is only for current match. |

Super Mario Bros. 35 pits 35 players against one another as they run through levels from the first Super Mario Bros. game. Enemies that players defeat are sent to other player's levels, and coins can be used to obtain a randomly selected power-up. In addition, players are on a time limit that can be extended by defeating enemies, clearing levels, or collecting Fire Flowers as Fire Mario. Successfully KO'ing an opponent earns players the victim's coins and remaining time. | |

Many Minecraft servers have a fan-made game mode known as the "Hunger Games" (Or Survival Games, if they're not too fond of infringing on copyright) in which players spawn in an arena and have to gather weapons and other resources, all while fighting other players to be the last man standing. At the center of each map is a cornucopia filled with all sorts of goodies and equipment, and some servers even allow for the use of starting kits. | |

Foes.io is likely the first .io Game battle royale, and the only one so far to feature vehicles, even though it is limited to 30-player matches. | |

Forza Horizon 4 is a Racing Game example with The Eliminator (available since Update 17), which is a BR but instead of just 'killing' cars, you eliminate players by challenging them to a short face-off and winning it, with the option to keep your car, upgrade it or use the one from your foe. When 10 players remain, any face-offs are canceled, and instead, everyone races to a final race placed at a random point across the map: the first one to make it there wins. The mode was so popular that it returned for Forza Horizon 5, which has an even larger map that was explicitly designed with The Eliminator in mind and expands the maximum number of players from 72 to 96. | |

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) added a free-to-play battle royale mode called Call of Duty: Warzone on March 10th, 2020, which operates in a manner similar to Apex Legends, with three-man squads that can revive one another if downed. If you die, you are sent to a "gulag" and have a chance to respawn by defeating one other dead player in a shooting duel, and you can also purchase self-revive kits (to get yourself back up one downed) or reinforcement flares (to call a dead teammate back into the game) with in-game currency in stores located in the arena. | |

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds became the Trope Codifier of the genre and found a sizable playerbase from the at the time novel premise of a large Wide-Open Sandbox (PUBG's initial map, Erangel, is a fairly realistically modeled 8x8 km island) shooter and freeform large scale (up to 100 players to a match) combat on the harder side of the Fackler Scale of FPS Realism, showing its hereitage from ARMA mods, offering a large and varied arsenal of weapons, loads of Gun Accessories to stick onto them, and vehicles. It launched the Battle Royale genre into the limelight and made the world take notice, launched into on Steam's Early Access. | |

Battlerite Royale is played from a top-down perspective and allows the player to choose from multiple characters with different abilities. Players start with their basic attack and Ultimate ability (which cannot be used until you obtain energy), and must unlock their five remaining abilities by finding them in Loot Orbs, buying them from vendors scattered across the map, or taking them from dead players. There are also equipped and consumable items. | |

OpenArena has the Elimination, CTF Elimination and Last Man Standing modes: Last Man Standing is regular Deathmatch split in shorter rounds where every player fights on their own in order to eradicate the rest of the players and be the last player on foot when the round ends. Elimination follows the same model and ruleset as LMS, but splits players in two teams, and each team fights to eradicate the enemy team. CTF Elimination follows the same model and ruleset as Elimination, but also adds the Capture the Flag flags, and thus rounds can also be won by capturing the enemy flag. |
