H1Z1 is joining Fortnite and seeing big success in bringing the battle royale genre to PS4. Players are embracing the game, which just had its first console launch on May 22, and within 24 hours it had amassed more than 1.5 million players. H1Z1 is more realism-focused than Fortnite, along the lines of PUBG, which has seen incredible success of its own. However, thanks to a timed-exclusivity arrangement with Microsoft, PUBG's only console version is on Xbox One, leaving H1Z1 to fill that void on PS4.

"We believe we've found the right balance for battle royale on console and players have responded positively to our reimagining of H1Z1. We will continue to refine the game based on feedback from Open Beta to ensure the best experience possible for our actively growing community," said H1Z1 Producer Terrence Yee.
