“Everyone here at Daybreak Games is thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response to H1Z1’s debut on PS4,” said H1Z1 Producer Terrence Yee. SAN DIEGO - Aug- Daybreak Games® today announced that H1Z1: Battle Royale™, the original standalone battle royale shooter, has left Open Beta and officially launched as a free-to-play game on PlayStation®4. It makes sense that this program, or some version of it, would begin with a Sony-owned game that the company has control of.Popular Free-to-Play Battle Royale Shooter Saw 10 Million+ Players in Open Beta Battle Pass Season One, New Weapons and New Vehicle Highlight Massive PS4 Launch Update Last month, Sony said it was looking into allowing developers to release in-progress versions of their games.

H1Z1 on PS4 will go up against the console version of DayZ, which creator Dean Hall announced last week during Sony's Gamescom briefing.Īlso during SOE Live, the company announced that PlanetSide 2 will be available on PS4 later this year as an "early access" game, meaning an unfinished version of the final product. It launches for PC through Steam Early Access later this year, though a specific release date for that version has not been announced. Inspired by DayZ and The Walking Dead, H1Z1 was announced earlier this year. SOE also developed DC Universe Online, which is currently available on PS4. After a delay, the game is now expected to launch on the platform later this year (more on that later). H1Z1 is not the only free-to-play game from SOE headed to PS4, as Sony announced last year that PlanetSide 2 is coming to the console. SOE did not announce a release date for the PS4 version of H1Z1. This isn't too much of a surprise, as SOE president John Smedley teased back in May that a PS4 version could happen. Sony Online Entertainment's zombie game H1Z1 is coming to PlayStation 4, the developer confirmed during its recently concluded SOE Live 2014 event.
