Fortnite, the fun co-op shooter with a PvP battle royale mode, is currently on a success streak. Over 7 million players are playing the game. In addition, the developers are updating the PvP variant “Battle Royale” with a duo mode and airdropped supply crates.
Fortnite captivated over a million players at the launch of the free PvP mode Battle Royale. Unlike its major competitor PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Fortnite is available on the consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. PUBG may only come to Xbox by the end of 2017.
Fortnite is currently celebrating over 7 million players and is continually expanding the PvP mode. Additionally, a new update called Horde Bash is coming soon for the PvE version.
7 Million Players for Fortnite PvP?
In a tweet from Fortnite developer Epic Games, they mentioned 7 million Fortnite players. This refers to all players of Fortnite.
However, this does not necessarily mean active players or paying customers who spend money on the early access version.
Thanks to over 7 million of you who have played Fortnite! We want to keep the Battle Bus flying, so Duos and Supply Drops are available NOW. pic.twitter.com/sRx767u4aG

Fortnite Battle Royale Gets Supply Crates and Duo Mode
No matter how many players are currently playing Fortnite in PvE or PvP mode, the game continues. The battle royale mode now gets the new duo gameplay mode. You will always play together with a friend who can support you.
A cool alternative to the 4-player squad mode, which some gamers may not get enough players together for. However, pretty much everyone should be able to find a single gaming buddy.
Another new feature in Fortnite: Battle Royale is the supply crates.
In them, you will find the best loot items available in the game. The crates are dropped randomly on the map and, like in PUBG, there should be particularly wild battles around the landing spots of the boxes.
For the PvE version of Fortnite, another update called Horde Bash is also coming soon.
