That was renamed to Just Survive in a relaunch last August, which broke with the H1Z1 canon, leaving King of the Kill (the battle royale mode) to carry on that lore as the newly renamed H1Z1: Battle Royale, which is a free-to-play game that launched in early access on PS4 back in May.

H1Z1’s original mode became H1Z1: Just Survive. Those modes were split into two separate games in 2016. Players fought for survival and resources against the undead as well as one another.Īfter the game launched in Early Access in January 2015, H1Z1 had two modes - including a battle royale developed with the help of Brendan “Playerunknown” Greene, the namesake of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds. Just Survive has a confusing lineage but it is effectively the original H1Z1, whose core mode put players on a large open-world map filled with zombies. All Steam purchases and in-game transactions have already been disabled.ĭaybreak called it a difficult decision to retire Just Survive but said “the current population of the game makes it untenable to maintain.” Servers for the survival MMO will be available until 2 p.m. Just Survive, the spinoff of H1Z1 that re-launched on Steam Early Access about a year ago, will be shut down at the end of October, Daybreak Games announced yesterday.
