An OG Fortnite player sets a new record by attracting 44.7 million players in a single day

The most recent Fortnite season has transported players back to the earlier days of Chapter 1 in the battle royale, resulting in unprecedented levels of player engagement for Epic.

This current Fortnite season offers players a nostalgic journey to the thriving year of 2018, predating the pandemic when the battle royale phenomenon was at its peak. Much like World of Warcraft Classic, Epic's new Fortnite OG Chapter 1 season effectively resurrects the battle royale experience as it was six years ago. It's as if players have unearthed a time capsule, allowing them to relive Fortnite's most remarkable year. (In 2018, Fortnite raked in over $5 billion in revenue, its highest earnings ever.)

Epic has recently revealed remarkable statistics for their incredibly popular game. According to the latest data, Fortnite OG Chapter 1 has shattered records for player engagement. Over 44.7 million players participated in Fortnite on the previous day, marking it as the "most momentous day in Fortnite's history." Gamers also collectively spent 102 million hours in intense battle royale action.
