🎯 H1Z1 — The Original Battle Royale That Started It All

Genre: Battle Royale / Survival Shooter
Platforms: PC, PlayStation
Modes: Solo, Duo, Fives

Fast, Fierce, and Forgotten? Not Quite.

Before Fortnite danced its way into the spotlight, and before Warzone took over Twitch, there was H1Z1 — the gritty, no-nonsense survival shooter that helped define the battle royale genre.

Born from chaos and refined by its community, H1Z1 dropped players into a brutal free-for-all where only one thing mattered: survive.

What is H1Z1?

Imagine 100 players skydiving onto a shrinking map. Loot weapons. Find armor. Drive vehicles. Outsmart, outgun, and outlive everyone else.
That’s H1Z1 in a nutshell — a raw, fast-paced experience that rewards tactical positioning and quick reflexes.

No building. No nonsense. Just pure battle royale.
Driveable vehicles = epic road duels
Lightning-fast rounds (no camping here)
One winner. 99 losers. Classic formula.
