Battle Royale games generally need to broadcast player state to all players within a large distance (iirc for PUBG, it's one km) because it's common to spot another player 500+ meters out and take some shots at them. If they're not moving much you might hit them.

Even if all 100 players are nearby, 100 isn't unusual in the context of MMOs. That's not to say it's trivial to do, it's just not a new feat unique to battle royale games.
