The game features a seasonal battle pass option that offers character cosmetics. It was released in early access for the PlayStation 4 on May 22, 2018, gaining over ten million players in over a month, and was officially released on August 7, 2018. A week after release, it was announced that the game would be going back to free-to-play. The update also launched "Season 1", introducing a new updated scoring system that rewards players who get kills and place well in matches consistently. The game was fully released out of early access on February 28, 2018, with updates to combat, gameplay, and a new gamemode known as Auto Royale. Additionally in October 2017, the "H1Z1 Pro League" was announced, which was a partnership between Daybreak Games and Twin Galaxies to create a sustainable, professional eSports league for the game. An invitational tournament was held during TwitchCon at the Long Beach Convention Center the same month. In October 2017, it was announced that the game would be dropping its King of the Kill subtitle, becoming known as simply H1Z1. Ī televised tournament for the game, titled H1Z1: Fight for the Crown, aired in April 2017 on The CW. As a compromise, the game received a large update on September 20, including many of the features intended for the official release. However, a week prior release, the game's executive producer stated that due to many features remaining unfinished by then, the game would remain in early access until further notice. Later that year, it was announced that development of the console versions were paused in order to focus on the Windows version of the game, which was given an official release date of September 20, 2016. In February 2016, it was announced by Daybreak that the game had been split into two separate projects with their own dedicated development teams, with the game being rebranded as King of the Kill while the other became Just Survive. Despite the unstable launch, John Smedley, CEO of Daybreak Game Company, announced that the game had sold over a million copies by March 2015. A new bug, which made all servers go offline, was also introduced to the game after the developer released a patch to fix other problems.
At release, the game suffered from numerous technical issues, such as players reporting that they could not login to their account or enter any active server. Z1 Battle Royale was originally released on Steam's early access program on Januas H1Z1.
