Fortnite: How many players? This is how active the game is currently

Fortnite's Battle Royale mode has been one of the most popular games of its genre on the market for years. But how many players are currently playing Fortnite Battle Royale is hard to say, as Epic Games only mentions players of all modes.

How many players does Fortnite Battle Royale have

How can you find out the player numbers of Fortnite Battle Royale? Unfortunately, not in a direct way.

1. The company Tencent, for example, reveals that Fortnite has over 40 million monthly users on PC, PS4 and Xbox. This does not include players of the Battle Royale version for the smartphone.
2. The Chinese giant Tencent has this information, having bought a 40 percent stake in Epic Games a few years ago. Thus, Tencent has introduced the "Loot Llama" model.
3. Fortnite is thus currently the most popular Battle Royale game on the market. As an example, the also well-known Battle Royale shooter "Playerunknown Battlegrounds" currently has 1.5 million active players.
4. Epic Games announced in 2019 that 125 million players have played the game since its release. The breakdown of the campaign and the Battle Royale mode is not mentioned as well as the number of active daily users not.
5. Over the year 2019, the number of users doubled to circa 250 million registered users.

Fortnite provides impressive numbers

Whereas Fortnite in January 2018 still had 2 million players at the same time, a new record was broken by the company with 3.4 million players simultaneously. That the game remains current is shown by ever new records. Thus, on April 24, 2020, for the event "Travis Scott's Astronomical", according to Twitter, over 12.3 million players played Fortnite simultaneously.
