Figures war between Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

There seems to be an open war between Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, at least in figures, in addition, it seems that some PUBG players are going to the Epic Games game.

A strong war has been unleashed between Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, within the market for Battle Royale-type games. Fortnite, which imitates the PUBG style of play with the graphic style of Team Fortress 2, seems to be gaining followers and it is no wonder, the game is free, so anyone can download it. It should be noted that PUBG, developed by Bluehole, makes use of Unreal Engine 4, the graphics engine developed by Epic Games. This tense situation between both companies is experienced in social networks, with information and counter-information in recent days.

Bluehole was already quite uncomfortable and annoyed with the copy by Epic Games. Despite everything, the Fortnite game is not diminishing the activity of PUBG, which is in great health and does not stop gaining players day after day. Epic Games has tweeted from the official Fortnite account, that there are already more than seven million players and that 525.000 simultaneous players have been given, something that we cannot certify, contrary to what happens with PUBG, which has more than two millions of simultaneous players, as can be seen in the Steam statistics that are public

This week we have learned that PUBG has reached 15 million copies SOLD, while Fortnite seems to have been downloaded by 10 million players, but it does not mean that they are regular players, since the game is free and can be that someone will download it to test it and little else.

But there is more, because on Reddit, moderator J Shreadz, claims to have detected a large number of posts in the Fortnite sub-forum, opened by veteran PUBG players, who would be changing the game. Some argue that they are passed for being a lighter and more friendly game, with more humor and that in general, it is more absurd. The thing is that PUBG is not a game of humor, but of survival, competing against about 100 enemies, to win being the last one standing. Maybe some do not know what they have been playing or simply, they came from Team Fortress 2.
