Fortnite is played by 350 million people

Epic announced that Fortnite now has 350 million players, a new confirmation that battle rearers are already among the most popular games of all time.

Launched in 2017, Fortnite is still growing, attracting new and new ad. It is true that the success of recent months has also contributed to social isolation measures, which keep the little ones and not only at home.

Fortnite now has, according to official data provided by Epic, 350 million registered users.

It’s a massive increase amid the pandemic, which has brought in 100 million new users in about two months. At the previous announcement in March, Fortnite had 250 million players.

Epic doesn’t say how many of the registered users are active daily or even monthly. Instead, he says last month the cumulative game time was 3.2 billion hours.

The game manufacturer tries to make Fortnite a kind of virtual universe in which people play, but also socialize. Beyond the main activities, the building and the shot, the game has lately acquired capabilities that go beyond the horizon of a simple battle royale.

Epic has created an area he calls party royale, an island where players can relax and talk to each other, taking a break from the main activities of the game.

Two concerts have already been held, which could only be watched in the game, and a music festival will be held on Friday, attended by several artists.
