The open beta for H1Z1 and its Battle Royal mode is now live for PlayStation 4, and it is a bit different than the PC version. It seems like the attraction of the battle royal games isn’t dying out anytime soon, and now console players can enjoy massive slaughter in H1Z1 with faster-moving gas, a lot more vehicles, and a lot of airdrops. Basically, the PS4 version is all about that gritty, fast-paced action, which is not surprising considering that you don’t have much precision with the joystick as you do with the keyboard and mouse, so there’s less sneaking around and more firefights.
The closed beta gave the developers a lot of feedback, and now that they have everything sorted out, the open beta has been released. PC players that played the PS4 version probably noticed that the gameplay is much faster on the consoles, which was intended. Also, in their official post, they talked about all of the upcoming features that H1Z1 Battle Royal will be getting in the future.
A Revive mechanics is on the way. Aim acceleration is getting added to help you out with aiming a bit, which isn’t all that easy when using a joystick. Grenades will also be a lot more bouncy and less sticky in the future. Most importantly, the developers are working on improving the game’s optimization as much as possible, so expect improved frame rate in the future.
