SuperData Research has an amazing statistic to add to Fortnite's growing list of amazing statistics: In March, viewers spent 611 MILLION hours watching the game. Obviously, that doesn't even include the hundreds of millions of hours that were collectively played by those they were watching. Can anything stop Fortnite?!

Fortnite has also been found to have generated five times as much money in its first week on iOS devices as did PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' mobile version. 

  • Fortnite had quite a March. The game has overtaken the previous “king of battle royale”, PUBG, in terms of revenue generated and monthly active users across all platforms. It also hit the #1 spot by revenue on iOS in the United States in its launch month, and has the highest conversion rate of any free-to-play PC game in March.
  • Oh and P.S. –  Fortnite is now the largest free-to-play console game of all time, in revenue generated and monthly active users.

Fortnite, Fortnite, Fortnite. There’s no other way to say it: the game is a phenomenon. Fortnite generated $223 million across all platforms (console, PC, Mobile) in March, up a whopping 73% from February. Drake, a new season of the Battle Pass, and a John Wick skin all contributed to the massive growth.
