Fortnite is hitting it in revenue on iOS, breaking the 1.8 million dollar barrier, only in microtransactions, since the game is completely free.
The most popular video games on the market are no longer satisfied with reigning on computers or consoles, now they also want to reign on smartphones. Fortnite is one of the titles that has made the leap to smartphone, recently, being at the moment, only available for iOS, which has generated 1.8 million dollars in revenue in a single day. All this income, how could it be otherwise, comes from microtransactions, because the game is completely free.
Acquiring elements within this game, through microtransactions, does not suppose any advantage within the game, but there are a large number of skins for the characters, which we can acquire, also parachutes and the rest of the elements within the game, which allow giving a unique aspect to our character. It seems that this type of purchase works excellently, within the game, which allows the company to earn much more money than simply selling the game.
Sensor Tower, a tool that measures microtransactions within smartphone applications, reports that Fortnite has exceeded $ 15 million in the first 20 days of this game arriving on the platform. The game, until April 2, which was when it hit the market, generated an average of $ 620.000, but on May 4, the game managed to break the barrier of $ 1.8 million in revenue.
We must remember that Fortnite, currently, is only available on PC and iPhone / iPad, and there is still a little left for the title to arrive for Android. At the time of arrival to Android, the normal thing is that the income of this game, soar, since the smartphones with Android, represent more market share than those of iOS.
