The recent surge in players for a popular battle royale game has demonstrated its unyielding popularity in the gaming community. This past weekend showcased a major live event titled Remix: The Finale, which featured performances from well-known artists. The event has coincided with a remarkable increase in player numbers, proving that interest in this game remains strong even after several years since its inception.
After seven years since its debut, the game has achieved a staggering peak player count of 14,343,880. Presently, the game maintains nearly a million active players, with a 24-hour high of 4,789,430. This figure stands out as significantly higher than any other game’s peak on a popular distribution platform.
While the title that previously held the record for the highest quantity of players active at the same time on that platform remains PUBG: Battlegrounds, with just over 3.2 million players joining at once, the latest achievement of this game surpasses that historical figure. Fortnite's recent peak during a 24-hour span illustrates its massive appeal and reach.
To further highlight the game's monumental status, the latest overall peak in player counts on the distribution platform has reached almost 39 million. This indicates that Fortnite represents roughly 35% of the total playerbase on that platform, showcasing its dominance and popularity.
