Warzone Urzikstan will feature 100 players per match and will have all Battle Royale squad sizes (Solos, Duos, Trios, and Quads) available at launch on December 6, 2023. This was confirmed during a call between the developers and content creators on December 4, 2023.

This morning we announced that the player count for #Warzone Battle Royale is 100 players.

Our top priority is creating an optimal and fun experience for all of our players based on critical metrics.

Additionally, the dev team revealed that the Urzikstan map is 20% smaller than Al Mazrah, however, it will have a faster circle pace. In total, the Battle Royale matches are predicted to last 20 minutes.

Also, similar to what happened in previous integrations, Warzone stats will reset for the Urzikstan chapter. This means players will be able to begin their adventure on the new map with a clean slate aiming to improve their previous stats.
