Battle Royale games have changed the gaming industry forever. The genre is massively fun to play and the most popular battle royales have players playing at all hours of the day. One of these fan-favorite games is Apex Legends.
Respawn Entertainment made a fantastic game but everyone needs a bit of variety in their lives. There are many great choices for games like Apex Legends that players can check out and enjoy.
Updated July 7th, 2021: Apex Legends is still an absolute powerhouse in the world of battle royale games as it looks to begin Season 10. Still, some players might want something to play while they wait for the season to start or to get a break from some of the issues with hackers and cheaters that have haunted the game. We've added some more battle royale games to this list to help fans scratch that gaming itch.
16 Realm Royale
Hi-Rez Studios have produced many hit games such as Smite and Paladins but Realm Royale stands out as something special. It plays like a fantasy version of other battle royales without the building aspects found in some of them. It's one of the best games for those new to the genre so it's a perfect choice to hop into and try.
15 CS:Go - Danger Zone
There is not a single fan of first-person shooters that hasn't heard of the Counter-Strike franchise. It's been a mainstay of the genre since the year 2000 and its battle royale version is just as strong. Danger Zone is a game mode added to Counter-Strike Global Offensive in 2018 that has the same tactical gameplay fans are used to from the series. If players have access to a copy of the game it's worth it to take the highway to the Danger Zone.

13 Fear The Wolves
Players that want an even deeper sense of reward when they defeat everyone else to survive should check out Fear The Wolves. Survival in this game means making it to the extraction point all while battling through the radiated wasteland around Chernobyl. The game has both solo and duo modes which fans of Apex Legends can certainly appreciate and features a theme not yet explored much in battle royale games.
12 Soviet Jump Game
Take a break from the shooting action to try a game that oozes with theme. Soviet Jump Game is a retro-styled platformer battler royale published by Game Grumps. Yes, the same Game Grumps from Youtube!
The original video made to build hype for the game was a fantastic piece of viral marketing that large studios couldn't manage. Making gaming fans think he found a lost Dendi game from Russia was brilliant and got so many people interested in playing the game once it was released.
11 Super Animal Royale
Gamers shouldn't let the cute and fuzzy animals fool them — this is one seriously competitive battle royale game. Super Animal Royale features 64 players per match and has a unique top-down perspective not seen in almost any other game in the genre. Plus, the community for the game is beyond stellar making it so players don't have to worry as much about the rough voice chats they may encounter on Apex Legends.
10 Call of Duty Warzone
The Call of Duty franchise is one of the most popular first-person shooters of all time so it should come as no surprise that its battle royale game is top quality. Warzone has the same kind of gameplay fans of the series enjoy with cross-platform play and a lot more players to take out at a time. It's one of the newest titles on the battle royale scene but will likely be a mainstay for years to come.
9 Survive.io
Survive.io is one of the most convenient battle royales to play as it's available in any web browser as well as on iOS and Android. This is the only major 2D game in the genre which gives it unique dynamics its competitors cannot offer. The game was designed with getting players quickly into matches and enjoying themselves as a primary goal and it shows.
8 Maelstrom
Players looking for an incredibly unique battle royale experience should look no further than Maelstrom. Instead of controlling single characters like other games in the genre, Maelstrom has players taking command of an entire sailing ship to destroy everyone else around while avoiding sea monsters and other dangers. It also features both solo and co-op modes just like Apex Legends.
7 Spellbreak
Fans of magical powers will adore this battle royale. Spellbreak has players pitting powerful battlemages against each other in battle. The game is easy to pick up for new players, has a unique theme compared to most standard battle royales, and is still r eceiving major updates to improve its quality. The game is also free-to-play making it easy for players to give it a try.
