Bloomberg today determined that the number of players registered in Fortnite is now around 200 million. Let that number sink into your head. Epic Games later confirmed that number to GamesIndustry. Biz, meaning it’s not just some hyperbolic estimate, either. The number of players in Fortnite now outnumber all but a few of the world’s countries.
Earlier this month, we reported the number of concurrent players in Fortnite now numbered over 8.3 million. At the time, we drew the comparison between Fortnite ‘s concurrent players and those of every Steam game out there ( Fortnite won, by the way).
But to give you some idea of just how vast the number of total registered players is, we’re gonna have to go to a bigger frame of reference. These are big league numbers. These are country-sized numbers. And, going by current estimates of the populations in the world’s ten most-populated countries, Fortnite is now the eighth most-populated location in the world.
