Fortnite – Battle Royale
Fortnite Battle Royale is a wildly popular online video game produced by Epic
Games. In the time since it was released in September of 2017, it’s acquired new
users in droves. Within two weeks of its release, it had 10 million users. By March
of 2018, 45 million. In June of 2018, 125 million. And by November of 2018, the
number of registered users exceeded 200 million.
But Epic Games has done more than just acquire a massive number of users for its
game. It’s also retained those players over time and generated impressive revenues.
In August of 2018, the company reported having 78.3 million monthly players.
Three months later, Epic announced reaching yet another milestone: 8.3 million
concurrent players.
In terms of revenue, Nielsen’s SuperData estimates that Fortnite made $2.4 billion
USD in 2018. That’s remarkable for a lot of reasons, not least of which that the
game is entirely free to download and play.
