What H1Z1 is

H1Z1 is an adventure game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and released in 2015. It is available on PlayStation 4 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Forgelight Engine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Z1 Battle Royale is a battle royale game developed and published by Daybreak Game Company. The game's development began after the original H1Z1 was spun off into two separate projects in early 2016: H1Z1: Just Survive and H1Z1: King of the Kill. The games were further split as separate projects in October 2017, with Just Survive dropping the H1Z1 name, and King of the Kill becoming simply H1Z1.
