Fortnite has made over $1 billion from in-game purchases

19 Jul 2018

Fornite has made over $1 billion USD from in-game purchases, according to market research firm SuperData Research.

The firm’s report says the figure is accurate, and also that Fornite is still growing in popularity. The game experienced a huge spike in popularity in February 2018 that slightly dipped in May, though May 2018’s revenue has been estimated at $318 million USD alone.

Fornite is the most popular game when it comes to streaming — 83% of May 2018’s total streaming hours were dedicated to Epic’s popular battle royale title. That amounts to 700 million hours in the month.

Fornite is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS and Android.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
