As a battle royale title first released in 2020, this game drops players onto large maps, such as the wintry Vikendi, where they must scavenge weapons and gear for survival. The core loop involves fighting to be the last person or squad standing as the playable zone continuously shrinks. Season 7 specifically introduced content tied to the map's lore, like the Survivor Pass: Cold Front, offering cosmetic rewards related to Vikendi's setting.
