On Saturday, Fortnite marked an unprecedented achievement, becoming the best day in its history. A staggering 44.7 million players engaged with the game, collectively spending an astonishing 102 million hours in the virtual world.
These numbers are a testament to the enduring popularity of Fortnite, showcasing its unique appeal among gamers. Notably, a remarkable 5.8 million players were simultaneously active in Fortnite at a single point in time. This figure established a new record for concurrent player engagement, underlining the enduring allure of this gaming phenomenon since its initial launch.
Diving into the specifics, an impressive four million players immersed themselves in the Battle Royale mode, demonstrating the enduring popularity of this competitive format. An additional one million players delved into the captivating Zero Build mode, while other modes such as Creative, Save the World, and various alternatives collectively attracted almost another million players.
This diversity in gameplay options contributes to Fortnite's continued appeal, catering to various gaming preferences. One notable factor contributing to the resurgence of Fortnite's popularity is the return of the old map, which had been absent since 2019.
