It’s hardly surprising, but still worth reporting. Epic Games’ battle royale phenomenon Fortnite has proudly announced that 🐈it has passed a milestone for 8.3 million concurrent players.

The new figure was hit following the Free-to-Play free-for-all which has brought a ton of new barricade builders to the cause. Fortnite has amassed some five million players since February of this year, where the standing total w👍as around 3.4 million riding the battle bus.

Just to clarify, that’s concurrent players, not just registered accounts. Mind-blowing. What with the constant content updates, uber-popular streamers such as Ninja, and various references in pop culture and celebrity twitter feeds, it looks like this license will be printing money for a long, long time to come.

Fortnite is available now on PS4, PC, X🤪box One, Nintendo Swi🦩tch, iOS, and Android devices.
