Battle Royale games have become increasingly popular over the past few months and Fornite is a perfect example of that. It’s one of the most popular battle royale titles out there much like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Fortnite is also available on a variety of platforms and it continues to do good. How good? Well, the game made almost $300 million in April alone.
The latest data from SuperData Research, a firm that tracks digital game sales, reveals that Fortnite made $296 million in April alone. This figure includes sales from the PC, mobile, and console version of Fortnite.
That’s almost double the $126 million it made in February this year. It was back in February this year that Fornite surpasses PUBG in monthly sales for the very first time.
It is there not surprising that Fortnite is at the very top of Superdata’s console chart and at number five on the PC chart, several positions ahead of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The firm mentioned in its report that Fortnite “once again it broke the record for most additional content revenue in a single month by a console game.”
The recent launch on mobile has also contributed to these earnings. Fortnite was widely released on iOS in the first week of April after initially being launched in beta version in mid-March. The title is due for release on Android as well later this summer which will only serve to increase the popularity of this game.
