‘H1Z1’ Goes Back To Free-to-Play Model
In what some might think is an attempt to steal the thunder back from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, developer Daybreak has announced that H1Z1, which had just come out of Early Access with a new “Auto Royale” mode, is now free to play.
For those who purchased the game in Early Access, fret not. Daybreak had the following to say:
“To thank all of our loyal players who helped make awesome, game-changing decisions during our time in Early Access, we’ll be rewarding everyone who already purchased the game with the “H1Z1 Appreciation Pack”.
The pack in question contains the following:
- Gasrunner Hoodie
- Bloom Survivor T-Shirt
- Splinter Camo ARV
- 10 Victory Crates
- 10,000 Skulls
In order to support the new model, however, Daybreak have instituted new purchasable DLC bundles, which can be bought for $20, $50, or $100 and which contain various skins, crates, and Skulls (the in-game currency).
Of course, in the words of Motörhead, it might be “too late, too late” for the game to get back those players who flocked to the game back when it was released back in 2015, as PUBG owns the battle royale crown at the moment. Time will tell, I suppose.

Bloody Disgusting and Creep I.E. Con Screening ‘Child’s Play’ with Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent
Looking for a big event to kick off your Summerween?
Creep I.E. Con, one of Southern California’s biggest horror themed conventions, returns for an Aftermath in 2026 — two months earlier than usual! This weekend, the Ontario Convention Center will house over 30 celebrity guests, 170 vendors, and all kinds of tricks and treats courtesy of Bloody Disgusting.
The main event is Saturday night at the Creep I.E. Cinema featuring a screening of 1988’s Child’s Play with stars Brad Dourif, this week’s Emmy-nominee Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent. Note: This is a separately ticketed event within the weekend, so be sure to secure your tickets for the screening and Q&A before they’re all gone.
Beyond the silver screen, Bloody Disgusting will also be hosting panels with stars of the Scary Movie franchise (Tori Spelling, Lochlyn Munro, Simon Rex, Jon Abrahams); return to Spooky World with David Bertolino; take a trip to Woodsboro with Hayden Panettiere; revisit Tales from the Crypt with John Kassir; and go toe to toe with Danny Trejo.
That’s not all. On Saturday at noon PST, we’re hosting an exclusive photo opportunity at our Bloody Disgusting booth with the titular puppet behind Pinocchio Unstrung. Later that afternoon, Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man will be passing out free cold sweets outside at the top of every hour while supplies last.
It all goes down this Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 12th — at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Tickets are selling out fast — in fact, all VIP passes are sold and off the table — so secure your passes ASAP before it’s too late. After all, you don’t want to miss the first real horror event of the year!
