Hyper Scape on PC: How to download Ubisoft's new battle royale for free

Hyper Scape is the newest addition to the popular battle royale genre and is published by Ubisoft. This will be Ubisoft's first foray into the genre after other huge publishers, like EA and Epic Games, have already made waves in the market with their battle royale games.

Hyper Scape sets itself apart from its contemporaries due to its focus on verticality, speed and movement. The game is fast and player encounters occur more frequently. The art style and tone of the game resemble that of a brighter cyberpunk aesthetic, and the soundtrack only complements it further.

The open beta for Hyper Scape on PC is now live and can be downloaded for free from Uplay.
