The concept originated with mods for ARMA 2 and DayZ created by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene around 2013. H1Z1: King of the Kill (2015) was an early standalone title, but PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) in 2017 is widely credited with bringing the genre to the mainstream.
By total player count and cultural impact, Fortnite holds the top spot with over 400 million registered accounts and billions in revenue. PUBG Mobile dominates in Asia with over one billion downloads, while Apex Legends has carved out a massive competitive scene.
Apex Legends focuses on team-based combat with unique character abilities (Legends), a revolutionary ping system, and no building mechanic. Fortnite is known for its building system, solo and squad modes, frequent pop-culture crossovers, and a more cartoonish art style. Apex uses a class-based hero system while Fortnite treats all players equally in terms of abilities.
