FORTNITE
Most Popular Multiplayer Games You Can Play Right Now
Fortnite started out in early access offering a PvE zombies battling mode with building components for a set price, but it really jumped in popularity when a free battle royale mode was released where 100 players drop onto an island to fight to be the last one standing.
While being free, the game is supported through the purchasing of seasonal battle passes and cosmetic items like skins, new axes, emotes, sprays, and more. According to a report from SuperData, Fortnite made $126 million in February alone and had 14 million unique viewers on Twitch.
These numbers were surpassing fellow battle royale title PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which allegedly made $103 million and had 8.7 million unique viewers on Twitch in February 2018. It should also be taken into account that PUBG has already fully released on PC and Xbox One with both digital and physical copies available, while Fortnite continued to be available digital-only in early access.
There are several different multiplayer modes to try, whether you are on your own fighting against 99 other enemy players, with one friend in duos, or a bunch in squads. Every so often new variety modes are offered as well, like a massive 50 v 50 brawl or, most recently, a mode featuring Thanos from the Marvel Universe where you can become the villain and use the infamous Infinity Gauntlet to kill other players.
Fortnite is currently available for free on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and even mobile on iOS and Android.
