Will Fortnite Continue To Grow?

Many gaming experts predicted Fortnite would be a short lived fad and that the Fortnite frenzy would phase out pretty quickly. The game came out on July 25, 2017 and has crushed all growth expectations. By the end of Fortnite's 1st month of being on the market they gained approximately 1 million users. By January 2018 there were 45 million users and then by the end June 2018 nearly 1 year into existence Fortnite users hit approximately 125 million users with that number still rising today(Source). This growth rate is unlike any other game we have seen before. To put this in perspective PubG a game that is the second most popular battle royal game on the market had 3.2 concurrent players. This was the record for most daily users of a game of all time. Fortnite broke that record in February of 2018 with 3.4 million daily users and was on the market for 3 months less(Source)!

Now that you know the record breaking growth of Fortnite I'm sure many of you are wondering if it still will phase out like many critiques think, or is it here to stay for the long run. Here is why I predict that Fortnite Battle Royal is here to stay.

• There is no risk to try Fortnite Battle Royal. By no risk I mean the game is completely free! If you are unsure whether or not you will like the game you are at no risk of wasting your money. Anyone can download the game and try it out.
• Fortnite releases new things about the game every week. Every week Fortnite releases new updates about the game, there range from adjustments on the map, new weapons, in-game challenges, items to buy in the shop, and game modes. This keeps a player continuing to log on to see what is new. This aspect has been a big influence of me continuing to play regularly. Check out this weeks update HERE!
• Fortnite in game purchases keep Epic Games pockets fat and provides them with the resources to continue to further develop the game. In game purchases are what provides Epic Games to have the resources to continually update the game and add more value to its users. Back in July of 2018 Fortnite was generating over 3 million dollars a day in in game purchases(Source).
