Fortnite: Battle Royale took the world by storm in 2018. The free-to-play third-person shooter has taken consoles, PCs and cellphones everywhere with its colorful antics and addicting mix of shooting games. view and construction.
But how many people are playing Fortnite these days? Well the answer is not as simple as we would like.
In January 2018, after Battle Royale's first 100 days, Epic Games revealed that there were 45 million Fortnite players. This number includes all players on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. At E3 2018, Epic made another player count announcement by announcing the Fortnite World Cup. in the announcement, Epic said Fortnite reached 125 million players. The latest major player count was announced that the game had reached 250 million users by March 2019.
There is a problem with these numbers, however, as the number of Fortnite players cannot be tracked as they can with games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Steam. Steam lists the number of players and several websites do the same. The number of people actively playing any game, not just free to play games like Fortnite, will never match the number of sales or registered accounts.
Since Fortnite is run directly through Epic Games' launcher, the number cannot be officially quantified by anyone other than Epic Games itself. In March 2018, Epic announced that the game had reached 8,3 million concurrent players and a year later, in February 2019, Fortnite hit a new concurrent player record for the Marshmellow concert, which saw 10,7 million people connected at the same time.
While it's impossible to know how many people are currently playing Fortnite on a daily basis, the game is still huge, almost bigger than one can really imagine. With mobile, console, and PC gamers all enjoying the game, it's safe to assume that Fortnite isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
