The recent in-game concert from the electronic artist Marshmello assists Epic Games’ free-to-play title Fortnite in setting a new concurrent player record.
Yesterday, Fortnite fans were able to attend a live in-game concert featuring the musician Marshmello, with the free-to-play Battle Royale title offering players the chance to groove to some electronic tunes while using their favorite avatars. As it so happens, the event was quite the success, as the concert managed to draw in a huge number of fans in-game, which seems to have helped set a new concurrent player record.
According to the games journalist and The Game Awards founder Geoff Keighley, there were more than 10 million concurrent players attending and participating in the Fortnite concert with Marshmello, with millions of others streaming it online.
