Battle Royale games are not as popular today as they used to be a few years ago. I wondered why that is. So, I tried almost every available battle royale game on mobile stores and picked the top 10 best ones you can play on Android and iOS in 2025.
And yes, there are also some exciting upcoming titles like Fate Trigger Novita, Indis Battle Royale, and Scarfall 2.0 on the horizon. But until they release, let’s check out the best battle royale games you can play right now.
13. Aimlock
Aimlock is a fresh battle royale game that comes with a unique anime-style twist. The character designs, colorful graphics, and overall vibe are very eye-catching.
The gameplay is fast-paced and the optimization is decent. Yes, I did come across some bugs and glitches, but nothing game-breaking. If the developers keep updating and polishing it, Aimlock has the potential to become one of the standout titles.
12. FortZone
Fort Zone feels like a low-spec cousin of Fortnite, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Its simplified art style and gameplay make it accessible for low-end devices.
The controls are responsive, shooting feels decent, and yes, it even has building mechanics. The only downside is its low player base, meaning most matches are filled with bots. Still, if your device struggles with heavy games, Fort Zone is worth trying.
11. Free Fire
Free Fire is one of the biggest names in mobile battle royale history. Personally, I’m not a fan of its auto-aim gunplay because it reduces the challenge, and the shooting animations feel a bit outdated.
But the truth is, Free Fire has done something right to stay popular for so many years. It’s fast-paced, optimized for low-end devices, and offers tons of cosmetic options. If you’ve never played it, you should at least try it once.
10. PUBG Mobile (BGMI)
PUBG Mobile is the OG battle royale that brings back so much nostalgia. Late-night rank pushes with friends, laughter, and chaos, all tied to PUBG memories.
It still has an active player base and continues to receive regular updates. Honestly though, for me, its time feels a little past now. Still, PUBG deserves respect for what it built and remains worth playing even today.
9. Combat Master
Combat Master is one of my personal favorites, especially because of its offline battle royale mode. Whether online or offline, the gameplay is smooth and fast-paced.
The gunplay is tight, with a wide variety of weapons and customization options. It gives strong Call of Duty vibes. If you like responsive shooters and don’t always have internet access, Combat Master is a must-try.
8. PUBG New State
In my opinion, PUBG New State is the most underrated battle royale on mobile. It feels like an upgraded version of PUBG, better graphics, smoother gameplay, and a futuristic sci-fi vibe.
Its optimization is solid, making it run crisp even on mid-range phones. Honestly, I think it’s better than PUBG Mobile right now. I highly recommend it.
7. Knives Out
Knives Out is almost a decade old, yet in 2025 it still feels surprisingly fresh. The developers never abandoned it and kept delivering updates.
The graphics are still impressive, gunplay feels solid, and matches don’t feel empty because the player base remains active. For such an old game, the smooth experience was a pleasant surprise.
6. Blood Strike
Blood Strike is one of the best-optimized mobile battle royale games right now. The gameplay is fast-paced, the gunplay smooth and responsive, and it runs well even on low-end devices.
The downside is that the first 10 matches are filled with bots. But once you get into real lobbies, the competition and fun double instantly. It’s simple, fun, and definitely worth playing.
5. Fortnite
Everyone knows the name Fortnite. It’s still going strong with multiple game modes, wild in-game events, and endless collaborations.
Personally, I never enjoyed the building mechanics, which is why the no-build mode was a huge win for me. Visually, thanks to Unreal Engine 5, Fortnite is the best-looking battle royale on mobile. If your phone can handle it, Fortnite offers a complete experience.
4. Farlight 84
Farlight 84 took a bit of a gamble when it removed jetpacks, but even without them, it remains the best mobile battle royale today.
The graphics are sharp, the character roster is large, and optimization is impressive. They recently added a first-person mode too. If you’re in the mood for a polished, action-packed, futuristic battle royale, Farlight 84 is the top pick.
3. Indus Battle Royale
Indus Battle Royale is a Made-in-India game that aims for global standards. Its theme feels like an interesting blend of Indian culture and a futuristic sci-fi world. The graphics are quite sharp, and the art style gives it a unique vibe of its own.
Right now, it’s in the testing phase, but from what I’ve tried, it’s clear that the developers are paying attention to detail, whether it’s smooth controls, immersive maps, or unique character designs. If the developers keep up this pace, Indus has the potential to become a battle royale that puts India’s name on the world stage.
2. Scarfall 2.0
Scarfall 2.0 is a revamped version of Scarfall. This Made-in-India game looks similar to PUBG and BGMI, where the developers have made several changes based on player feedback. Both the graphics and mechanics have improved, and the gameplay now feels much smoother.
Its maps and modes feel more engaging, and a lot of work has been done on optimization so it can run smoothly even on mid-range and budget phones. If you’re excited about a locally-developed battle royale, Scarfall 2.0 looks like a promising comeback.
1. Call of Duty Mobile
You can’t ignore COD Mobile. The gameplay is still solid, but honestly, it doesn’t feel as fresh as it used to. That said, with its dedicated player base and constant updates, it remains a worthy battle royale in 2025.
Final Thoughts
The battle royale genre may not be booming like it once was, but there are still some gems that can give you action, thrill, and nostalgia. Whether you’re on a low-end device or a high-end phone, this list has something for every gamer.
