The new game takes on the battle royale genre in what the title's listing describes as the “most streamlined, easy-to-learn - hard-to-master battle royale game available in 2024”. Players can enter matches on their own or team up with others in PvP to be the last person standing.

Battle Guys: Royale was launched on May 8th, 2024 on Google Play in Finland, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland and Spain.

According to the games social media channel on X, the team is focusing on mobile-only for now for the title, with an iOS version due later.
