PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is an online multiplayer battle royale game where 100 players drop into an island to be the single winner. To prevent players from hiding for too long, the size of the safe area decreases over time, which means that surviving players are forced into encounters. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
