'''''Minecraft Battle Royale''''' is a [[free-to-play]] [[Battle royale game|battle royale video game]] developed and published by [[SOI Studios]]. It was initially released in [[early access]] on September 26, 2023, for [[macOS]], [[PlayStation 4]], [[Windows]], and [[Xbox One]], followed by ports for [[iOS]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and [[Android (operating system)|Android]]. SOI Studios dropped the early access label for the game on March 1, 2024. Versions for the [[Xbox Series X/S]] and [[PlayStation 5]] were released as launch titles in late 2020.

It will be released in [[early access]] on November 12, 2024, for [[PlayStation 4]], [[PlayStation 5]], [[Xbox One]], [[Xbox Series X/S]], and [[Microsoft Windows]].


The concept of the game is similar to previous games of the genre: 100 players skydive onto an island and scavenge for gear to defend themselves from other players. Players can fight alone, or with up to four other players. As the match progresses, the playable area within the island gradually constricts, giving the players less and less room to work with; outside this safe zone is "the Storm", which inflicts damage on those caught inside it, with the amount of damage growing as the Storm itself does. The last player or team alive wins the match. The main distinction from others in the genre is the game's construction elements, letting players build walls, obstacles, and other structures from collected resources to take cover from incoming fire or give one a strategic view advantage. ''Battle Royale'' uses a seasonal approach with [[battle pass]]es to introduce new character customization content in the game, as well as limited-time events, some of which correspond with changes to the game map. Since its initial release, several other game modes have been introduced, including "Battle Lab" and "Party Royale".
The idea for introducing a ''Battle Royale'' became important in December 2023, shortly after the release of the main game. SOI Studios wanted to introduce multiple games into ''Minecraft Zone''.
 
The idea for ''Battle Royale'' arose following the release of ''Fortnite Battle Royale'' in 2017, a similar battle royale game that was highly successful and noted for its innovation and ambition.
 
''Battle Royale'' received positive reviews from critics, who praised its learning curve, gameplay, art style, multiplayer and progression system, while receiving criticism regarding parental and security concerns. The game quickly rose in popularity following its release, eventually surpassing ''Battlegrounds'' in overall player count and revenue. Player count had exceeded 350 million by May 2020. The game has gone on to become a cultural phenomenon, with promotion through social media and several celebrities, such as [[Ninja (streamer)|Ninja]], [[Marshmello]], and [[Drake (musician)|Drake]], contributing to the game's popularity, achieving record-high viewership on streaming platforms in the process.
 
==Gameplay==
The main gameplay for ''Minecraft Battle Royale'' follows the standard format for the [[Battle royale game|battle royale genre]]. The game normally is played either with each player on their own, or in a squad of two, three or four players, with up to 100 players participating each round. The round starts with players, weaponless, skydiving from a flying "Battle Bus", then landing onto the game's map, simply known as The Island. The Island's fixed layout includes several landmarks and locations (mostly named in an [[Alliteration|alliterative fashion]], such as "Lazy Lake", "Pleasant Park", and "Retail Row") that are mostly [[ghost town]]s during matches, while a random distribution of weapons, shields, and other combat support features can be found either as "floor loot" or by searching chests scattered in buildings and other sites. In addition, hostile NPCs were introduced in February 2020, which can be fought for additional and (typically) improved items, as well as friendly NPCs in December 2020, which can sell items such as weapons or consumables, or provide services such as acting as bot teammates or healing players.
