Top 10 best Battle Royale games for iPhone and iPad (iOS)
Updated by Ivan Spasojevic on July 9th, 2025 - one game swapped
The Battle Royale craze continues unabated. Fortnite has just entered its second iteration, revitalising what was already a global phenomenon.
Meanwhile, the daddy of BR, PUBG, continues to refine and evolve in its own hardcore way. New entries like Apex Legends have attracted a fair amount of attention.
There's obviously something about the last-man-standing genre that scratches a very particular itch for games.
Thankfully, mobile gamers haven't been left out of the loop. There are a bunch of excellent BR games available for iPhone and iPad. Here are some of the best.
1
PUBG Mobile
PUBG is the original game that kicked off the BR craze, and it translates remarkably well to mobile. For our money, PUBG Mobile provides the tensest, truest Battle Royale experience on mobile, with tactile gunplay and some of the best maps in the genre. Its realistic gameplay is what caught so many players, and at one point it became the most popular mobile game in the genre. It still holds the title and has no signs of slowing down.

Omega Royale
Omega Royale is a brilliant mix of both Battle Royale and Tower Defence, with a bit of merge thrown in there. You are able to merge together different towers in the arena, collect new heroes to fight others, and of course defend your path. You are able to fight online against other players or try out the endless mode to work on your strategy and skill. It's a neat and well polished mobile game that takes a lot of fantastic genres and mixes them together.

Call of Duty Mobile
Call of Duty finally lands on mobile in a fully formed package - and it's remarkably accomplished. Part of that package is a full Battle Royale mode, which supplies some of the most fluid gunplay on this list. If you start playing it, we have more than enough guides to keep you up and running. How to get Diamond and Damascus camos in CODM, or CoD Mobile best guns in each category, for example, but a lot more that you can use. Run a quick search through our website and you'll see.

Brawl Stars
Supercell's take on Battle Royale is much more intimate and immediate than the norm. The Showdown mode of Brawl Stars pits 10 hero characters into simple, colourful top-down battle. Going through our tier list of best characters in Brawl Stars is a must for every serious gamer about to grab this title. It will steer you away from the irrelevant characters and give you a starting edge.
5
Garena Free Fire
Garena Free Fire is an amazing game that makes Battle Royale experience realistic and fast. This game has really dynamic gameplay. There are only 50 players on the map. Indeed, matches last approximately 10 minutes. The game's advantages are high-quality graphics and interesting gameplay, so we recommend you pay attention to it.
6
Knives Out
You might not have heard of Knives Out, but it's absolutely massive in China and Japan. It's yet another PUBG-a-like effort from Rules of Survival developer NetEase Games, but with a few cool twists like five-player teams. Graphics surprised us positively, and it's a bit flashy for mobile in my opinion, and still very playable. Hint: it has nothing to do with the great movie Knives Out.
7
Grand Battle Royale
Another great Battle Royale mini-game where the maps are small and the matches are fast. The graphics are not as good as in the other games on this list, but the project looks nice and deserves attention. Also, it is simplified compared to the other games on the list. However, it might be a great idea to relax and spend an evening in this game.
8
Indus Battle Royale
Indus Battle Royale is an Indo-Futuristic battle royale with a ton of unique features, making it stand out amongst all of the others within this genre. The game itself is designed for mobile first, with tons of different weapons, vehicles, and maps to explore. Victory is done through COSMIUM, which is a rare resource that appears in the final battle zone, causing an intense fight to figure out who wins!
9
Arcane Rush Battlegrounds
Arcane Rush Battleground is a battle royale inspired card-battler, which is a very interesting mix of the two genres. You can find yourself unlocking new cards and building your deck, but every round has a rush to the end as you craft different sets of cards to defeat up to 16 opponents, to be the last one standing! It's something a little different and a little unique, while still having that battle royale vibe.
10
Squad Busters
Very similar to another title on this list, Brawl Stars, and even cooked in the same kitchen as that one! Okay, not kitchen, game studio, but you get the point. Anyway, artwork is so similar that it feels like the same game, but instead of picking one character, you have a squad, hence the name. You'll start off lightly, and then as the round progresses, you'll get more and more squad members, upgrading them with each level. Every new character brings something to the team, whether it's more health, firepower, or a special ability. The goal is still the same: win by having the most powerful team by the time the round is over, or just overrun your opponents and call it a day!
