H1Z1 PS4 Getting More Hardware To Support Over 200,000 Concurrent Players

The H1Z1 PS4 open beta has been available to the public for less than 24 hours, and Daybreak are looking to utilise more hardware to support the rising number of players already. According to a tweet from the official @H1Z1 account, over 200,000 concurrent players have been playing at any one time, which is an incredible amount for a game that many have said to be dead due to the influx of other battle royale titles.

If you’re yet to try out the PS4 version of the popular zombie survival game turned battle royale shooter, you can download the open beta now on PS4 by going to the PlayStation Store and searching for H1Z1. The game has been revamped for console, with a completely different inventory and looting system, randomised spawning mechanics, and improved healing and crafting experiences.

If you want to get involved in more H1Z1 action, you can catch the H1 Pro League every Wednesday evening at 7pm PT, live on the official Facebook page which also contains weekly episodes that delve into the lives of the players and more. The H1 Pro League is currently halfway through the first split, with SetToDestroyX holding a strong lead at the top of the table. You can read a recap of last week’s action here, while elsewhere in the battle royale world, Epic Games have announced a Pro-Am tournament for Fortnite will be taking place at E3 2018.
