โโ๐ Fortnite: King of the Multiplayer Action Hill
According to Sensor Tower, in just under seven months since launching as an invite-only beta on March 15, the iOS version of #Fortnite from Epic Games has grossed a total of $300 million worldwide, with about 65% of that coming from players in the United States ๐บ๐ธ.
To have some context, Fortnite has grossed about 32% more than Supercellโs Clash Royale launch in March 2016, and more than 200% as much as #Tencentโs smash MOBA Honor of Kings managed on Chinaโs App Store in the same amount of time post-release.
As for the fastest game to hit $300 million on #iOS, that was Nianticโs mega-hit #PokemonGO, which achieved this feat in just 113 days.

๐ Fortnite's Effect on Epic Games
Epic Games, creator of the blockbuster online game #Fortnite, has landed a $1.25 billion investment from multiple investors, the company announced last week. According to Pitchbook, it was the largest funding round ever for a video game company, valuing Epic Games at almost $15 billion.
While Fortnite certainly is Epicโs breakthrough game, the company has more to show for than the online survival hit. Aside from popular gaming franchises such as Gears of War and Infinity Blade, the company is best-known for the Unreal Engine, a tool kit for game developers that has played a major role in the industry for 20 years now.

๐ซ Fortnite is Taking Over
#Fortnite, the free-to-play multiplayer game particularly popular among young players and professional athletes, just reached another milestone. Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, announced this week that its blockbuster title now has more than 200 million registered users. Thatโs up from just 45 million in January 2018, meaning that the global hype surrounding the game has attracted more than 150 million new players over the past 11 months.
Last month, Epic Games raised $1.25 billion from a group of investors in a deal valuing Epic at $15 billion. If Fortnite can keep the momentum going into 2019, the companyโs valuation could be propelled even higher.
