What is Fortnite?
This multi-player battle royale game first came out on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One in September 2017, before being adapted for other formats like mobile or the Nintendo Switch in 2018.
As of November 2017, Fortnite already had 20 million players. A real boom followed in 2018 and 2019. By June the following year, there were over 125 million, and in May 2020 the game’s official Twitter account posted that there were 350 million registered players. It became extremely popular to watch on Twitch, and as a result turned streamers such as Ninja, Dr Lup and Myth into superstars.
