PUBGis probably one of the most popular gaming titles of all time. Its adrenaline-rushing gameplay, stunning visuals, and enthralling battle royale experience had made the game reach the summit. Despite not being the first battle royale game,PlayerUnknown’s Battle Groundpaved the way for the players in this particular genre.
However, things are not like the older days anymore. Players do not find any thrill in this game. Previously, the game used to hit over 500k peak players; now it has dipped down to around 200k. However, there are alternatives as well to this popular title.
Why DidPUBGFail?
For any battle royale title, the main objective has always been survival, and the reward for success is immense pride for becoming the last standing; inPUBG, it’s“Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.”On the other hand, if you fail, you get sent back to the lobby straightaway, without any second chance.
In BR titles, it doesn’t matter how many kills you get or how many times you have survived; if you aren’t the last one to survive, you are not the winner. However, recent updates in the game are literally killing these BR vibes. The game has become less rewarding for winning and less punishable for losing. Hence, people are no longer very concerned about winning or losing.

Along with these, the23.2 patchhas added some updates that don’t necessarily abide by the rules of a battle royale title. For example, there’s a new feature called Comeback BR, with which players can recall their dead teammates into the match, giving them a second chance.
Also, there is Self AED, with which players can revive themselves on their own upon being knocked out. In this game, you can now be knocked out infinite times, and bleed-outs have also slowed. There is also an in-game token called Blue Chip that allows players to upgrade their skills. However, all of these updates have completely changed the way we used
3 Best Alternatives toPUBG
Finding alternatives toPUBGis a tough job, keeping in mind the legacy it has left behind. But still,some games can give a tough fight to this long-hailed BR title.
Ring of Elysium
Welcome to the battle royale gameRing of Elysium, created by Tencent, a Chinese developer. With a large map, a wide variety of weapons, a battle pass akin toFortnite, and even a BMX to play with, thisPUBG-related game was originally a mobile game before being reimagined as a full-fledged PC experience.
It’s a must-watch because it combines the realism ofPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundswith some humor and stunning visuals. If you’re looking for a free-to-play battle royale that isn’t Fortnite or PUBG: Battlegrounds, Ring of Elysium is a great option. It was released in 2018 and has since shown itself to be a strong PUBG substitute.
Z1 Battle Royale
Z1 Battle Royalemay also be known asH1Z1. For years, developer Daybreak Games has been working diligently to improve this free-to-play battle royale game in an effort to create a more dynamic substitute forPUBG. Given that PlayerUnknown’s originalArma 3mod helped popularize the genre and thatH1Z1was one of the first battle royale games, Daybreak has precedent in this area.

Despite some significant changes to make it more competitive and approachable,Z1 Battle Royaleremains loyal to its King of the Kill origins. If you’re a little tired ofPUBGbut still want to play something similar,Z1is worth a try.
Apex Legends
Respawn, the company behindTitanfall 2, is the creator ofApex Legends. The game is set in the same universe as Titans, but it doesn’t have wall-running. You can choose from twenty different characters to play as, though many of them are locked behind a progression wall.
Wraith’s ability to connect two locations via a rift that her allies can use, or Bloodhound’s ability to see enemy tracks, are just two examples of the characters’ distinct skill sets and fast-paced gameplay that essentially resemblesPUBGcombined withOverwatch. You should give it a try just for fun because it’s free.
