Realm Royale is getting PS4 and Xbox One closed betas next week

Hi-Rez Studios announced today that its battle royale game Realm Royale is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Closed betas for these console versions will start next week.

Realm Royale differentiates itself from Fortnite and PUBG by focusing on a fantasy setting (you can use spells, but guns are still a big part of the game). Players in the free-to-play game can select classes like Mage and Assassin. But the goal remains the same — be the last player standing. It has become a hit on PC, attracting more than 4 million players on Steam during its Early Access period. Of course it has a long ways to go if it wants to catch up to top dog Fortnite, which has over 125 million players on PC, consoles, and mobile.
