'''Deathmatch''', also known as '''free-for-all''', is a widely used [[gameplay]] mode integrated into many [[shooter game|shooters]], including [[FPS game|first-person shooter (FPS)]], and [[real-time strategy]] (RTS) [[video game]]s. Normally the goal of a deathmatch game is to kill (or [[Glossary_of_video_game_termsGlossary of video game terms#frag|"frag"]]) as many other players as possible until a certain condition or limit is reached, commonly a ''frag limit'' or a ''time limit''. Once one of the conditions is met, the match is over, and the winner is the player that accumulated the greatest number of frags.
 
The deathmatch is an evolution of competitive [[Multiplayer video game|multiplayer]] modes found in [[game genres]] such as [[fighting game]]s and [[racing video game|racing game]]s moving into other genres.
