H1Z1
A 2016 battle royale that predates the genre's mainstream explosion, if you're curious about early BR history or want a dead-server time capsule, this is it.
GamerScout Verdict
A historical curiosity for BR fans; everyone else will find dead servers and dated gunplay.
Compare Prices(2 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About H1Z1
H1Z1 launched as a survival MMO and pivoted hard into battle royale mode before PUBG made the format a household name. That early timing is its only real claim to fame now. The core loop is familiar: drop into a post-apocalyptic map, loot weapons and armor, shrink the playable zone, last player standing wins. Gunplay is rough by modern standards and the player base is essentially gone, making matchmaking painful or impossible depending on your region and time of day. If you're a battle royale historian or morbidly curious about what the genre looked like before it became a cultural phenomenon, H1Z1 is a museum piece worth one playthrough. Everyone else should skip it. The servers technically exist but the population doesn't justify the grind, and there's nothing here that newer F2P alternatives don't do better.
