The free standalone H1Z1: Battle Royale hits PS4 today

Daybreak Games had announced that H1Z1: Battle Royale, the original standalone battle royale game, is now available for free on PS4. The battle royale shooter is currently in Open Beta with a full release scheduled for later this year.

H1Z1 has been redesigned specifically for PS4 players, with a larger weapon arsenal – six new weapons – and fully reworked UI among the new features.

They tell us that matches are fast and frantic. The encroaching ring of toxic gas moves quickly while the new weapon progression system keeps players engaged with frequent, increasingly lucrative airdrops.

H1Z1’s control system has been overhauled for maximum speed and mayhem on PS4. With a familiar radial weapon menu, players can quickly switch between their two weapons of choice: guns and grenades. The grab-and-go equipment system also makes it easier for players to collect loot on the run.

Airdrops have never been more important in H1Z1. As the primary way to find the best loot, players must strategically decide when to pursue a mass airdrop for higher-powered armor and better weapons.

For more cautious players, special crates with similar high-level gear are hidden throughout the map – just listen for the radio chatter and signal beacon that sounds when they are nearby.
