    Surviv.io is a battle royale shooter where you will fight to be the last player standing. There is a red zone that slowly closes in on the players, and it's your mission to stay as far away as the zone in order to survive. As the zone closes, the play area shrinks which means that you will have to fight more players.

    To give yourself the best chance to survive, you need to make sure that you loot the best guns and armor that you can find.

    As one of the few .io games that take place in first-person, Krunker.io is a fast-paced multiplayer shooter where skill is the name of the game. As opponents can pop up anywhere (and at any time), you need to keep your head on a swivel and be ready for a fight at any moment.

    There isn't the safety net of having a top-down view like there is in third-person games, which means enemies can sneak up on you and strike at any moment. To start, all you need to do is select a class that fits your specific gaming style (there are nine to start) and from there you'll be ready to get into the arena.
