Escape from Tarkov

Realistic visuals

A brutally hardcore extraction shooter where every raid risks all the gear you bring in. It stands out for its deep weapon customization, realistic ballistics and nerve-wracking encounters with other players.

Hurtworld

Open world

A punishing first-person multiplayer survival shooter where you gather, craft and fight other players and the environment to stay alive. Its survival progression stays demanding well after your basic needs are covered.

The Isle

Open world

You play as a dinosaur that must grow, hunt, drink and survive against other players in a vast wilderness. It is a punishing, realism-focused multiplayer survival game where any mistake can be fatal.

DayZ

Open world

Unforgiving multiplayer survival across a vast zombie-infested countryside where hunger, sickness and above all other players are the real threat. Every encounter can turn into an alliance or a betrayal, and death means starting over from nothing.

The Forest

Lots to discover

After a plane crash you build shelters and traps in a dense forest while tribes of cannibals stalk and attack you. Creepy mutant-filled caves and the mystery of your missing son drive the exploration, and it's best played with friends in co-op.

Deadside

Open world

A hardcore multiplayer survival shooter set in a large, realistic open world after civilization's collapse, with no zombies or anomalies. It centers on scavenging, staying alive and fighting other players.
