 Are battle royale games dying? With viewers on Twitch and YouTube going down for pretty much every battle royale. What's the big problem? Is it something that the developers did wrong? No. In short, we're just bored of battle royales. Let me explain. Everyone by this point has probably experienced a Fortnite win, a Warzone win, an Apex win. Heck maybe all three. At some point, all this gets boring. No matter how many items you add to it. Sometimes it even makes the game worse. First, let's talk about Fortnite. When Epic started going crazy and added max planes and other absurd items, players didn't really enjoy it. It doesn't make the game more exciting. Definitely doesn't make it more fun. It also doesn't make a win feel any better. The last time I was excited for a win in any battle royale was about a year ago. It's not like the gunfights were boring or anything. It's mainly the feeling of winning a game. It's practically non-existent after all these battle royales started adding so much unwanted stuff to the game. I've just grown bored of it. Like I know you're the game pretty much. At some point, people are going to get bored of it. Whether it's due to them finding a first and more fun game, or because of its repetitiveness. If you use the same guns in Warzone, for example, for a year straight, it's just going to get really boring easily. No matter how many times they change the damage or the fire rate, anything in the game can get boring quick. I also don't feel as much pressure as before. In 2017, going into the final circle of Fortnite felt terrifying. If I won, it's a great feeling. If I lost, I would want to jump into another game and get that feeling again. Of course, playing with a friend back then would make you feel pressured even more. When I played Warzone for the first time, I felt like I was an actual battle royale trying to get my first win again. We play battle royales mainly to get that feeling of survival and fear. That's what makes this genre so popular and great. But now with so many updates and so many games later, we're just used to its repetitiveness. This makes it so that we have little to no feeling of fear or joy whenever we play. Due to this, we move on to a new battle royale or a new genre altogether. I feel like we already experienced the peak of battle royales after Warzone. Fortnite introduced building, Apex introduced champions, Warzone introduced the blue dog and cash. All of these would have been a great new experience if you let's say experienced a battle royale for the first time. Because they all add new and great features. After these three games, what's more there to experience? Fortnite itself already added so many unwanted items that if it made a big update, no one would even care anymore. With battle royales, you're linked to what you can do. If you want to change the map, change the weapons, change the items, someone's gonna get mad at the update and leave. It's just what's gonna happen. Just look at how many hate videos there are on Warzone, Fortnite and even Apex. If you don't update the game, someone's gonna get mad as well. And if you do, someone else is gonna get mad and some will even stop playing because of the BRs are so repetitive that even if you only update once a month, people are gonna say it's getting stale and boring. But if you update it too frequently, you're just gonna run out of update ideas and it's gonna get boring as well. So in conclusion, battle royales are dying because of its repetitiveness and it's not the player's fault or the developer's fault, it's just that battle royales themselves are designed in a way where after a certain number of updates, everyone just feels bored and the genre is gonna slowly die.
