4-    Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds

In the most popular battle royale ever, a hundred players get dropped into an island, trying to find weapons to fight and be the last one standing. The gameplay is very competitive and fun since there is a safe zone that gets smaller over time, forcing players to fight.
