The release of Fortnite: Battle Royale just happened 2 weeks ago. In this short time, a total of 10 million players have plunged into the free survival shooter.
Recently, we reported that Fortnite: Battle Royale had 500,000 concurrent players. Now Epic Games has released another interesting infographic with more numbers.
Within two weeks, 10 million players were recorded!
How often did players earn umbrellas or jump from the bus? Infographic reveals it
The released infographic holds even more numbers about Fortnite: Battle Royale. You can find the German translations below.
These are the numbers translated into German:
- 10 million battle royale players in 2 weeks: That is the entire population of Sweden
- 44,494,571 hours were played in total: 1,483 college degrees could have been obtained in that time
- 58,925,337 traps were found: 0 traps were found in Star Wars “Return of the Jedi”.
- 797,785,423 walls/stairs/floors/roofs were built: 3,873,000,000 stones are in the Great Wall of China
- 6,957,908 umbrellas were earned: Over 8,000,000 copies of Rihanna’s umbrella have been sold
- 292,715,319 times players jumped from the battle bus: That is twice as much as Patrick Swayze jumps out of a plane in the movie “Point Break”
Thanks to the creators of PUBG, Fortnite’s battle royale mode has gained a lot of attention: How silly PUBG is currently strengthening Fortnite’s competition.
Perhaps this PR stunt contributed to the 10 million players. It could also be that Fortnite: Battle Royale is free and already available on PS4 and Xbox One.
From the graphic, it is not clear how the players are distributed across the three platforms PC, PS4, and Xbox.
If Epic Games wants to remain so successful with Fortnite’s battle royale mode, they need to quickly get a grip on the cheaters.
