According to Epic Games, Fortnite has broken the 250 million player barrier, despite the pressure it suffers from Apex Legends.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds got users interested in Battle Royale games. Epic Games made the Battle Royale popular thanks to the fact that Fortnite implemented it for free. During 2018 we have seen how the Epic title reigned against PUBG, because it was free. A popularity that Apex Legends is stealing from you. Despite the fact that there are many players who go to Apex Legends, Epic Games reports that Fortnite has passed 250 million players.
Fortnite passes 250 million players
Apex Legends, Respawn's game, despite being announced the day before its launch, is the star of the Battle Royale. The game is characterized by being more dynamic and more frenetic than Fortnite and it is also free. A simpler version of Titanfall, which is hooking users and in many cases makes Fortnite leave aside.
Although the number of users of Apex Legends increases considerably, Fortnite still has to talk. According to Epic Games, the number of 250 million players has already passed. Everything indicates that Apex was a great boom in its launch, but the waters would be returning to their course.
Epic Games has implemented some interesting news at no cost to users. Fortnite is also characterized by being very updated and offering several Battle Royale modes. There are many users who prefer it or who are reluctant to change, so it is still the clear dominator. We will see how this trend evolves and if Apex Legends remains or was a balloon that is deflating.
