A "battle royale" is a popular game genre where multiple players compete against each other until only one player or team remains. Typically, players start with minimal resources and must scavenge for weapons, equipment, and supplies while navigating a shrinking play area. This creates intense competition and strategic gameplay as players must outsmart and outlast their opponents.
The genre gained significant popularity with games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite, which introduced unique mechanics and vibrant graphics. In these games, players can choose to play solo, in duos, or in squads, adding various dynamics to the gameplay experience.
