H1Z1 has lost 91% of its players in the last seven months
According to metric tracker GitHyp, H1Z1 has lost 91% of its player base since hitting a new peak in July 2017. The concurrent player record set then was 150,402, while the peak in the last 30 days was 17,652.
That’s partly down to the success of Fortnite and PUBG drawing off players from H1Z1, and partly due to players being unhappy with the game’s support from developers Daybreak. The title’s remained in Early Access since February 2016, and has seen some significant changes in focus during that time including a confusing split in branding before returning to the H1Z1 label.
H1Z1 remains a respectable regular on the Steam top 100, but that’s a far cry from the success it saw a year ago. The game’s been bleeding roughly a third of its players every month for the last half-year, a trend only briefly held off by a free week in December, much closer to the modest numbers it had on original release in 2016.
There are still tens of thousands of regular players, so don’t start digging a grave yet - but the precipitous drop is certainly concerning for H1Z1’s long-term future.

Specialize This game is trash, pubg is still dominating it.
Fortnite is rather dominating the game. Them adding free-to-play will raise the percentage a tad bit though hopefully.

H1Z1 has gained back some since it went all Free to Play, but yes. Pubg has way more players, but it's the newer version so i would want it to be.

91% of a player base gone, holy crap. They must have really screwed up somewhere. I wonder how they plan on resurrecting that.

Famous PUBG and fortnite are dominating the markets right now. HZN1 and DayZ were top games back in 2016.
Both games are for sure destroying the charts. Fortnite even has "H1Z1" written on a gravestone.

Silky Not surprising seeing as both fortnite and PUBG are much better, not with just gameplay but also with how the devs listen.
I can agree with you on the listening part. Usually takes the developers a month or so to fix game breaking bugs. Wasn't all a fan of the developers but gameplay wasn't too bad imo
