Fortnite was the talk of the gaming world in 2017. A simple battle royale shooter with crazy weapons and full of colorful llamas. But what does it look like in 2022? Did Epic Games still manage to keep its player numbers? One website wants to know the answer.
How popular is Fortnite in 2022? Epic Games itself rarely and sporadically makes its player numbers public. However, when Fortnite was still in its boom, the development team did not hesitate and spread its broken player count records all over Twitter. Now, with the battle royale shooter being four years old and the records to be broken skyrocketing to almost unreachable heights, no one really knows how many players are actively participating.
A website called “playercounter.com” is now supposed to help shed some light on the darkness. This third-party site can access the approximate number of users in real-time and show how many are actually actively playing Fortnite.
A quick click reveals that a total of 3,002,531 players are currently wreaking havoc in the BR shooter.
Fortnite still has a remarkable number of users
What keeps Fortnite so exciting after so many years? The BR shooter definitely knows how to keep its players engaged. Live events, concerts, the constant change of weapon meta, as well as changes on the large season map entice fans to stick around.
But the crazy collaborations with Marvel, Rick & Morty, or even Among Us continue to drive up the excitement. Fans never know what Epic Games is planning as the next big “thing,” and so they are constantly surprised and drawn into the game.
Fortnite can last for years: What Epic has created here is a huge portal full of endless possibilities. The development team can turn any imaginable character from cartoon series or the real world into a skin, thereby attracting fans of other games and genres into the shooter.
Even curious events or constant adjustments like the introduction of the “No Build” mode provide an up-to-date offering of entertainment options for players.
If you haven’t tried Fortnite yet because building scared you off, you can now start with peace of mind. The BR shooter is still free.
What do you think about Fortnite still being able to record a relatively large number of players? Are you surprised or did you expect it? Let us know in the comments!
