Fortnite will be released next year, but already more than 500,000 copies have been sold – for a free-to-play game! Fortnite is set to be the summer hit of 2017.
In 2018, the online game Fortnite will be released as a free-to-play game. However, it can already be played in early access, which is not free of charge. But that doesn’t seem to bother anyone, as more than 500,000 copies of the game have already been sold.
A very successful start
The early access phase of Fortnite began on July 25, and the head start even started on July 21. Epic Games aims to create an online game in which you cooperatively fight against hordes of monsters with other players and build fortifications together to secure yourselves from the onslaught.
Fortnite: Free-to-play or Buy-to-play? What is the deal with early access?
Fortnite has been in development for about five years now and features a colorful comic style that is quite well received by players. Those who want to join in now can purchase one of several founder’s packages. The standard package costs 40 euros. The limited package with additional in-game items costs even 150 euros!
Sales figures are from before the game’s launch
Epic Games’ Darren Snug thanked for the support the game is already receiving in this early phase. The team is very pleased with the more than 500,000 copies sold so far. The studio announced that the 500,000 copies were counted only until the game’s launch on July 25. By now, even more copies have likely been sold.
