The Epic Games video game breaks its own record and leaves behind the figures of the Marshmello concert with 10.7 million concurrent viewers.
Fortnite has once again broken records. During the early hours of this Friday, April 24, 2020, the first of Travis Scott's five Astronomical concerts took place in Fortnite Chapter 2; an event that we have told you about live and that has registered a peak of 12.3 million simultaneous players, which is already a milestone for the video game.
This Fortnite Chapter 2 Battle Pass Season 2 event was the first since it took place with Star Wars last December 2019. To put in context, the peak of concurrent viewers at an unrelated digital event Video games is 8.3 million people, so Fortnite has revealed, once again, that it is an extraordinary phenomenon.
The official Fortnite Twitter account has been responsible for confirming the news, which anticipates what may happen in the following four concerts during prime time (the so-called prime time); those stripes where both the United States and Europe coincide in front of the screen. The last time that simultaneous player records were broken in Fortnite dates back to last February 2019, when the DJ known as Mashmello managed to gather 10.7 million people during his staging.
Over 12.3 million concurrent players participated live in Travis Scott's Astronomical, an all-time record!
