H1Z1 PS4 Open Beta reaches over 7 Million Players
- Thread starter patapon
- Start date
There is a real hunger for a realistic battle royale among PS4 players it seems. PUBG shouldn't have done a deal with Microsoft... maybe?
Nice. I hope they start updating it big time. The recent patch was a good start, but it's gonna need a lot more to maintain even a fraction of that playerbase, especially once more competitors start flooding in.
Thank god for Game Pass, its really making a difference. /jk
A lot more people than I thought ... I had figured that Fortnight had already captured a lot of the hunger. Interesting.

I'm really digging it... but the lack of guns is really disappointing.
Outside of crates, there are only like 4 or 5.

It would be a joy if a smaller company steal all atention this year
Despite the fact i liked the beta, i'm already BR tired.
I'm sure your sentiments are met across multiple era posters fortunately it's not the case apparently worldwide bring on the Br modes
The CEO of Bluehole in an interview explained that Sony did not allow PUBG to be sold on PlayStation in the state it was in.
Or still is in. Microsoft however, sent one of their best developers (the Gears team) to Bluehole to fix PUBG, but there is no ETA on when this will have any effect.
Once PUBG is fixed, it should be able to release on PlayStation. No exclusivity deals are in order because Phil Spencer is now the boss of Xbox, and he would not do something like that :-)
This weekend there should be at least 7.000.001 players, because I am download it lol.
Good for them and Sony. Personally I thought the game lacked personality and felt rather generic.
Is that 7 million PS4 players or 7 million on other formats that PS4 owners can now join?
Good on them. It looked a little too rough for me from what I saw someone playing it on twitch and fortnite' s building style doesn't appeal. However PUBG on pc is like crack to me so I think most people will find a battle royale game they like, especially if they keep releasing them.
What gives Sony an advantage in this f2p battle royale space is they don't charge for f2p online.

7 million on PS4. It's a different game than the PC version.

Think that's just PS4 numbers, last update was 4.5 Million players a few days back
It will be PS4 only as it already sold upwards of 6million on PC.
If Pubg performs good on ps4 (none of that ridiculous rubber banding and pop in) then im sure itll garner a solid player base. I bought pubg on xbox but the performance and clankyness just killed it for me.
Fort Nite is my go to BR. I also tried Hz1 and it was to similar to Pubg for me to keep playing it, add that zombie factor in and im all in though.

Looks similar to pubg (my son even thought i was playing pubg) but performs solid and aiming feels much better to me.
I need to jump back. I had fun when it dropped. But recently got into Rainbow Six Seige. And the Paladins BR mode is fun as hell with the crafting.
Daybreak really screwed up on the PC front. They let PUBG completely take their market and blow up to heights they probably didn't even know could be reached.
Wonder where H1Z1 could have ended up if they stayed on top and had got the PS4 version working over a year ago. They lucked out with PUBG going with a timed exclusivity on Xbox.

The shooting is one of the things I don't like about this game personally, not feeling it at all. Carmageddon during the end game is also quite lame, I think vehicles should be rarer and maybe easier to take down, give us the ability to blow out tires or something.
To bad by the end game it's pretty much just people in cars driving around in circles. And for the love of god please introduce some colors. You don't have to go all Fortnite but give me sun green and red. Everything just looks like a grey mess.
i dig this game. will definitely keep playing it for the foreseeable future. although its a bit concerning that they refer to it being an open beta; do they plan to start asking people to pay for it? im talking pay for the game itself not cosmetics or skins. it should stay free to play but allow purchases for skins and whatnot as a long term strategy. and id like to see them make graphical enhancements and insert unique world details into the currently very similar building interiors. the actual world itself has some very fun and interesting design elements to it. each quadrant of the map has its own distinct topography and layout which lends itself to varied gameplay naturally. i really dig the vehicle handling too. could be a little tighter but i liken it to playing gta 4 for the first time and coming to grips with it's unique vehicle handling physics.
I'm guilty of downloading it and playing which is something for me as I've literally played one game online in the last year or two and that was Fortnite when it first launched. I've already put more into this than Fortnite (can't play PUBG as I don't have a system to play it on) and can see the appeal. Came 2nd on my first go, which was exciting so I'm understanding the Battle Royal craze.
Eh since it looks like it isn't launching on ps4 anytime soon the market is gonna get more crowded and crowded so I'm sure it will do fine but it could've done so much more.
Damn and I thought this game missed its chance because of Fortnite and PUBG...guess not lol.Good news,it's not my kind of game,although I might try it but always happy to see a successful game.
Looks like there's a market for a battle royal game without building mechanics (which I didn't enjoy), so good on them for getting it out there on PS4 while the iron is hot. Another year from now and I expect people will be getting sick of all the "me too" BR games hitting the market.
It's easy to see how popular it is with the amount of streams it got, some of them are the most watched.
It's becoming harder and harder to judge a game's success based on Era and other gaming communities. You wouldn't guess those games are so huge judging from their presence in this forum, but there is such a huge crowd that is disconnected from the traditional "core" community and they are becoming more and more influential and important. Maybe they are even the majority by now.

It's not perfect but compared to Fortnite's shotguns as the be all end all it's much more improved, I can actually win duels.
Input from The Coalition centered on improving the control scheme for gamers playing on the Xbox pad.
Neither ERA or Twitch are accurate barometers of success. If they were, Dark Souls would be bigger than GTA.
People were laughing at me when i said they had even 2 haha. Hopefully it will grow, definitely more fun even for looking like a PS3 beta
