H1Z1 Breaches 10 Million Players on PlayStation 4, New Update Introduces Revive Mechanics
- Thread starter patapon
- Start date
I just started playing this last weekend. I tried on my own but didnt really like it, but godamn playing in Duo with your friends is a ton of fun. I was actually thinking last week that there should be some kind of revive mechanic in team modes. Welp, there we go.
So, is H1Z1 now the second biggest Battle Royale game on console platforms. And by a considerable margin. Don't know what the deal is with this coming to PS4 first (probably the obvious, being a PUBG rival). Another case of making a multi-platform game's 'home' PS4. Good deal for PlayStation and gives the devs some leeway to push for better prominence on the PSN store etc.
Performance is great so I hope a graphical upgrade is on the way too.

For the speed they have you running, it's fucking MASSIVE.
It really is too big but I guess since the storm moves so fast it makes up for it a bit.
PUBG isn't f2p though and has still been selling extremely well on Xbox. Of course they'll sell more once they are on PS4 but that preview program has been a must for them.
I remember playing 3 games in a row and only seeing one player, and I was not even hiding.
It's so big lol
It's H1 dude. If you aren't dropping for a car, you're not doing it right.
I can't find any Xbox PUBG numbers since they announced 3 million players back in January, so this could very well be the biggest console BR next to Fortnite.
I WAS driving as well lol either people were camping hard or I was driving to the wrong spots
I love that aspect of it, just chilling out in a nice rural landscape.
F2P Battle Royale games are pretty much a license to print money right now. Especially on the PS4 where the playebase is massive and you don't need PS+ to play them online. Of course same goes for PC.
Nah. There is just no BR alternative on PS4
On PC there are at least a dozen BR games and a lot of them have a very small playerbase
Hmm true. Fortnite kind of gobbled up the lions share on PC. And the rest is spread out over tons of other BRs. PS4 only has a couple options.
The game took some getting used to after playing PUBG, but its a good fit for console. Minimal inventory management and an accelerated pace just makes sense. I wonder how aiming is now. I just got accustomed to it.
Pro tip : Always drop to a vehicle when you initially fall. Vehicles are a pretty big piece of the game (especially end game)

If PUBG is coming out on PS4, they have to do it before BLOPS 4 comes out or Blackout will have everyone's attention when it comes out
Can't really camp in H1 unless you want to die first thing in the circle. Everybody bum rushes air drops.
Damn, insane numbers.
Wasn't really a fan of it personally, everyone just driving around at the end really killed it for me, did they ever do anything about that?

The developers said there was no early access program available on the Xbox.
I thought that was the reason Bluehole gave for launching on Xbox. There obviously is early access on Xbox.
You used to need to hide in the gas with multiple med and health kits did they ever do anything about that?
Yep they really royally screwed themselves over. There is a huge market for battle royale games and a real thirst. Not surprised to see this game getting more support. The number will only increase. I will fire it up later today to have a go.
It is really interesting that it has taken off so big on PS4. It is all but dead on the platform it originated on after being the dominant title. Sony had a big hit they could have exploited much earlier on if they had known how big battle royale etc. would become.
I enjoy playing this game. Wish they would get good revenue and invest in beautifying the map somewhat. Lets get to work on improving and differentiating building interiors folks.
If this game has 10 mil(congratulations btw), just imagine what *phenomenons* (as someone kindly explained to me) like Fortnite have as a player base, insane numbers. No wonder they don't want to give their piece of the pie to other consoles, just Sony's alone is probably bigger than the two combined.
User Banned (1 day): Platform Warring + Conspiracy Theories
lol BS. Xbox is the only console which offers proper early access for games. Sony obviously paid them to say all this nonsense to make Xbox look bad, typical Sony.
Also this free to play, so not a big deal if it reaches 10m on platform with 80m users.
Wow! 10m in this game even though PS4 has Fortnite, so seems like PS4 has huge active user bases with F2P games and I can see why Sony is against cross-play.
