April 24, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Daybreak Games today announced that H1Z1, the original standalone battle royale game, is coming to PlayStation 4 with an open beta launching in May.

H1Z1 on PS4 is designed specifically for the console and focuses exclusively on the core elements that make battle royale exciting.

“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,” said H1Z1 Producer Terrence Yee. “We have added key gameplay differentiators to keep the game frantic and fun — an action shooter’s dream of fast-paced battle royale.”
