If “Fortnite” is mostly free, does that mean it’s going to run out of money?
There’s something distinctly watchable about this battle royale its art style, mechanics and fanbase provide endless entertainment, and even celebrities like Drake are getting in on the action. Epic Games has been quiet about the total number of players, but we know that as of January “Fortnite” had around 45 million active players across all platforms and that number is only going to go up, especially with the recent release of the game on Nintendo’s popular Switch console.Īnd that still doesn’t even account for the many people who tune in just to watch others play on streaming sites like Twitch and YouTube. The battle royale mode is what remains incredibly popular and what most people are talking about when they talk about “Fortnite.” This is when “Fortnite” really started to take off - 10 million people were playing within weeks of its release.
