Not that I'm gonna start playing, but... (Gaming)

Yeah, not picking up another shooter right now, don't feel like I've got the time for it, but I have a real question that's surfaced each time someone talks about Fortnite (or PubG) that I'm too lazy to google:

These are games that have lots of people at the start, that get pared down to a single winner over time, right?

So what happens to people who are eliminated early? Do they sit in the game, dead, watching what's going on? Are they booted immediately upon death to find another game? Do they get to choose?

I've always disliked Survival mode variants of games I've played (I'm thinking about Halo and Destiny, specifically) because I'm invariably one of the early deaths, and the game is super-boring if I'm just watching other people play. If Fortnite and PubG are like this, I'll feel much less bad about not ever picking either one up. :)
