The popular free-to-play video game by Epic Games is also the most played battle royale today. These are his extraordinary figures.
Epic Games has revealed that Fortnite, its multiplayer free to play video game, now has more than 350 million players. The title, whose battle royale mode absorbs practically all of those players, thus becomes one of the greatest phenomena in the history of this medium and stabilizes as a continued success far from having reached its peak.
3.2 billion hours of gameplay in Fortnite during April
Because the figures speak for themselves. The North American publisher has additionally reported that this past April – an exceptional month marked by an unprecedented population confinement since the Internet is part of our lives – more than 3.2 billion hours of play were recorded in Fortnite . The last official data we had access to dates back to March 2019, when the game registered 250 million players.

With these data, the rest seems little. If the 60 million players in Call of Duty: Warzone or the 70 million players in Apex Legends looked like many, which they are, within the same battle royale genre, Fortnite establishes a brand that can be labeled from another category. Increased, in turn, by the wide availability of the title; since it is currently playable not only on PS4, Xbox One and PC, but also on Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms through iOS and Android operating systems.
If we take a look at what has happened during the month of April in Fortnite, Epic Games knew how to take advantage of the high volume of players with a massive concert starring the artist Travis Scott. The event, called Astronomical, had a total of 5 concerts; The first alone had 12.3 million people connected at the same time.
Epic Games has taken advantage of this information to announce the new event of deadmau5, Steve Aoki and Dillon Francis, a new concert where these internationally renowned artists will meet in the title this coming May 8, as we have all detail in this news. Thus, the so-called Fortnite Master Party is far from over. You can check the news of the title, with guides, challenge resolution and more right here.
