Fortnite hits 125 MILLION players just a year after its launch

Fortnite has hit 125 million players worldwide just a year after it was first released. The unrivaled popularity of Fortnite among players has partly been fueled by its availability for free on smartphones as well as on traditional home video game consoles, making it popular among teenage gamers as well as seasoned players. Its recent rise has already prompted a reaction from established gaming giants, with the next Call of Duty game – Black Ops 4 – removing its regular single player campaign mode for a Fortnite-style battle royale feature instead. Studio Epic Games, the creator of the free-to-play multiplayer game, also announced more details for the upcoming 2018-2019 competitive season. Fortnite is one of the most popular video games in the world, attracting more than 40 million players worldwide to its battle royale-style tournaments.
