Fortnite getting more Battle Royale competition as H1Z1 is coming to PS4 soon
Fortnite Battle Royale rival H1Z1 is heading to the PS4 in May
H1Z1 was a trailblazer for the Battle Royale genre, launching back in January 2015 on Steam in early access.
In February this year H1Z1 came out of early access and was fully released, becoming free-to-play on PCs soon afterwards.
And today developers Daybreak Game Company revealed that H1Z1 is coming to PS4, with an open beta period taking place next month.
H1Z1 Producer Terrence Yee said: “H1Z1 on PS4 is true battle royale mayhem.
“We have reimagined the game for PlayStation 4 and have designed it to accentuate the essentials of battle royale that make the genre so exciting to watch and play.
“We have added key gameplay differentiators to keep the game frantic and fun -- an action shooter’s dream of fast-paced battle royale.”
Daybreak said the control system for H1Z1 has been tailor made for consoles, and features a revamped HUD as well as a grab-and-go equipment system.
The PS4 version of H1Z1 will also fearer a simplified loot collection and inventory management system as well as improved weapon progression mechanics.
For PS4 Pro owners, Daybreak promised that H1Z1 will run in 60 frames per second.
They added that a closed beta weekend will take place this month, and players can sign up for it at www.H1Z1.com/PlayStation4.
