In 2020, the game was banned in India, but the essential principles were preserved in a successor title called ‘Battlegrounds Mobile India.’

CALL OF DUTY

On October 1, 2019, Call of duty mobile was released, and it was one of the largest mobile game launches in history. It got 270 million downloads in a year and made more than £330 million because of the game’s extensive content. While players can play ranked or non-ranked multiplayer battles, battle royal is the most popular mode here. The game accommodates up to 100 players, where players can go solo, in a two-person team, or in a four-person squad. The players must choose one ability before they head out to play in the map. Limited-time modes are also available in Call of Duty: Mobile, making it one of the more comprehensive battle royal games available.

As a result, it was the most downloaded game in the Q1 to Q3 of the previous year.

Battlefield 5: Firestorm

Battlefield 5: Firestorm offers one of the largest maps in the history of any battle royal games to the 64 live players competing to survive. The game is a perfect mix between PUBG and Apex Legends where players can try out exciting weapons such as the Panzer Tank amongst many others, making it one of the best games in the battle royal genre.
