From Apex Legends to Fortnite and beyond, we’ve rounded up the top 11 Android Battle Royale Games in 2023 as follows:

Battle royale games are still as popular as they have always been. Fortnite and PUBG Mobile are at the top of the list. Apex Legends continues to attract millions of players despite the fact that it is no longer available on mobile.

It’s a genre that takes inspiration from film and turns ideas from The Hunger Games into an intriguing video game formula. In most circumstances, the formula is straightforward: defeat everyone and live. Its player base is bolstered further by cross-play between Android gaming phones, consoles, and PC, ensuring that there is never a lack of opponents to engage with.

However, certain titles have taken their own spin on battle royale. They could easily compete with the top games on Android. However, in this list, we’ll look at the top battle royale games for your phone.

1. Call of Duty Mobile

• Available on Android
• Backup link: APK Version

Published by another gaming industry big-gun, Activision, Call of Duty needs little introduction; it’s been the biggest FPS franchise for decades. Call of Duty Mobile features the shooter experience you’ve come to expect from the mainline series. With Call of Duty Mobile, the series brings a plethora of game modes, including classics like Team Deathmatch and Domination, as well as a massive 100-player battle royale mode.

Call of Duty Mobile allows you to fully customize your guns, including barrels, stocks, and grips, and achieve stats appropriate for different combat instances. Each season introduces new content, with Season 9 bringing the fan-favorite zombies mode to the Call of Duty Mobile universe.

2. Overdox

• Available on Android

Never bring a knife to a gunfight. Or so they say. But what if everyone brought a knife? Overdox blends role-playing elements with MOBA and battle royale. More importantly, characters use only melee weapons to fight: knives, swords, spears, gargantuan hammers and oversized fists.

To support your chosen playstyle, you can also take advantage of each character’s unique abilities. And you’ll need to utilize the game’s various mechanics to come out on top in the challenging Royal Rumble mode.

3. PUBG Mobile

• Available on Android
• Backup link: APK Version

PUBG is among the best battle royale games out there, possibly only overshadowed by the unprecedented success of Fortnite. It boasts an ever-growing player base of over one billion players and a battle royale mode for up to 100 of those players per round.

In other words, you won’t have a shortage of participants to battle against. PUBG Mobile also offers a multitude of other game modes to select from, including Payload, Arena, and Infection Mode. Seasonal updates, including new cosmetics, weapons, vehicles, and structures, mean that you won’t run out of content to enjoy.

4. Fortnite

• Backup link: APK Version

Epic Games made a name for itself by developing top-notch video game series like Gears of War, Bulletstorm, and Shadow Complex Remastered. But Fortnite is by far the company’s most significant commercial achievement to date. Fortnite combines the exhilarating winner-takes-it-all aspect of battle royale with the novel idea of erecting temporary structures to protect yourself from harm or access otherwise hard-to-reach areas. Plus, there’s a mode without building for those that prefer a more traditional battle royale experience.

On top of that, Fortnite enjoys frequent crossovers involving characters from other franchises. This means you can play as characters from DC and Marvel, as well as characters from other games and movies. Previous crossovers include Tomb Raider, Uncharted, and The Evil Dead, to name a few. And, even though Fortnite is not currently available for download via the Play Store, the game is still one of the highest-grossing battle royale games out there.

So if you’d like to install the game, you can grab the APK from Epic right here.

5. Free Fire Max

• Available on Android
• Backup link: APK Version

If you’re looking for an alternative to Fortnite or simply don’t wish to sideload the game through an APK, Free Fire may be your next best option. Much like Fortnite, it’s a third-person battle royale game for up to 50 players, although it lacks the fort-building mechanics Fortnite is known for.

However, Free Fire features a ton of character customization options and a choice of other modes to play in and has received frequent content updates since its release in 2021. It’s a constantly updated game with new characters and skins, as well as new maps and weapons, so you’re unlikely to run out of things to do anytime soon.

6. Happy Zone

• Available on Android
• Backup link: APK Version

Battle royale is a genre with high stakes, and stakes rarely get any higher than in prison. Happy Zone pits cops, inmates, and other ne’er-do-wells in a chaotic battle to the death. There’s no such thing as a get-out-of-jail-free card in this game, so you’ll have to use other means to escape.

Pick up weapons from defeated enemies. Anything goes: from baseball bats and wrenches to shotguns, rocket launchers, and even airstrikes. As of right now, Happy Zone only features a battle royale mode. But on the bright side, matches last only up to 3 minutes. So if you’re after something more bite-sized, Happy Zone could easily scratch that itch.

7. Hunt Royale: Action RPG Battle

• Available on Android
• Backup link: APK Version

Hunt Royale blends battle royale with Monster Hunter’s monster-hunting gameplay. You get to choose a hero with unique powers, venture out into the wilderness, and hunt down terrifying monsters, yetis, dragons, and even a colossal kraken in this feature-packed RPG.

Aside from the competitive battle royale mode, the game also has PvP and PvE modes. Dungeon, for example, allows you to delve into treacherous dungeons in search of priceless loot. Meanwhile, the Maze mode amps up the difficulty by incorporating severe roguelike elements into the game.

8. Modern Combat 5

• Available on Android

Modern Combat 5, unlike Fortnite and Garena Free Fire, prioritizes realism over anything else. It may easily contend for the title of best-looking Android game. However, Modern Combat 5 does more than just look the part.

This first-person shooter allows you to customize your character and weaponry, which affect not just how you look but also your chances of success or failure. Modern Combat 5 has a proper single-player story in addition to popular game modes like Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. While it isn’t at the forefront of the game’s features, it does have a free-for-all battle royale mode.

9. Fog – MOBA Battle Royale Game

• Available on Android

Whereas most battle royale games are first or third-person shooters, FOG shakes things up by being a MOBA. In other words, an online multiplayer war arena. You’ll feel right at home if you’ve played other games in the genre, such as the hugely popular League of Legends.

In FOG, you’ll employ melee weapons and spells to repel creatures and player-controlled foes. FOG provides a plethora of customization possibilities for your characters. These customizations not only alter their appearance but also boost their stats. A battle royale, a MOBA, and an RPG are all rolled into one.

10. Stumble Guys

• Available on Android
  Backup link: APK Version

You’ve most likely heard of Fall Guys. It’s a battle royale game in which competitors dress up in colorful costumes and compete in various challenges. After each round, a fraction of the competitors are removed, and just one — the fastest, nimblest, or simply the luckiest — is declared champion.

Stumble Guys is similar, but on mobile. You’ll compete against up to 32 other players online in this colorful and family-friendly battle royale game. Stumble Guys provides colorful characters and costumes that may be customized. Put on your favorite, go online, compete with strangers, or simply experiment with the game’s dynamics.

11. Super Mecha Champions

• Available on Android
  Backup link: APK Version

Have you ever wished to play as a Japanese schoolgirl with a flamethrower electric guitar? While it may sound incredibly particular, someone at NetEase Games had the same idea. That’s because you can play as that Japanese schoolgirl in Super Mecha Champions. In fact, there are many different characters to pick from in this battle royale.

Super Mecha Champions, inspired by Japanese cityscapes, takes the battle royale concept to bustling urban areas. The game has a plethora of towering mechs, both nimble and stalwart. Each mech has a unique set of weaponry and abilities, as well as a unique handling style. And the various unique pilots add a lot to the steel comrades.

The battle royale genre has more to offer than meets the eye

Several mobile battle royale games’ servers have been shut down in recent months. Final Fantasy VII: The Last Soldier was discontinued in January, and Apex Legends Mobile was discontinued on May 1st.

Call of Duty Warzone, thankfully, is preparing for a mobile release in May to fill in the gaps. Pre-registration is currently open. Are you excited about it? Do you believe it will make up for Apex Legends’ absence? Leave your opinions in the comments section below.
