A new game hit the market on July 25, 2017. This game was Fortnite a co-op sandbox survival video game developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games, the latter also publishing the game. Since published it’s users have skyrocketed and is now one of the most hot games on the market. It is still in beta testing and isn’t fully released until 2018 but it has already amassed over 10 million players since its launch. Gamers are quickly becoming engulfed in the exciting play that Fortnite offers. Millennials are the target customer and rightly so; colleges are being taken over by Fortnite and it is now uncommon to walk down a hall and not see someone playing. Fortnite will continue to grow and be successful as more and more millennials catch a whiff of this exciting game.
It’s very impressive that this game hasn’t even been released yet and is already over 10M players. However, that isn’t much of a surprise because this game is awesome and has a really cool idea behind it.
I find this very interesting! That’s crazy that it already has amassed such a following unreleased! It makes you wonder how much bigger it will get once it is released fully!
I wonder how much experience have the companies had in developing games in the past? Are they big, well known firms or are they relatively new? But either way it’s a great game and they have done very well!
This game is incredible the fact that it received 10 million players in 6 months! When this game is released, it will probably create an even bigger following. Hopefully these two game companies will continue to release even better games.
I can attest first hand that your statement about walking down a college hall and seeing Fortnite being played is true. I have been surprised by the early success of Fortnite as well and am eager to see what future success the game will generate.
Hey! I actually know tons of people who play this. I think this game definitely fulfilled a need for a PUBG like game that is a little easier to get into and easier to run on most computers. That being said, I am always wary of games who “beta test” and have so many customers. If the people who are supposed to release a full game later already have all the money they can get, and the customers are satisfied with the beta, why do they have any reason to fully publish a game later?
Always interested in why or how these games get such quick attention and what makes it so desirable for people.
I personally have never played this game, but I know plenty of people who do. It’s crazy how much popularity and attention has been brought to this game before it has been officially released!
Fortnite really filled a gap for people who wanted to play Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds but were one a gaming console or did not want to pay money. It’s accessible, easier on hardware, and just generally a more casual game that has gained its own specific audience. It was also released quickly, as evidenced by it still being a beta product. The developers didn’t hesitate to fill the need.
I really like this game. By combining a lot of ideas other games have put out, fortnite tapped into a new market of gamers. Innovative ideas like this always result in extreme success like in the case of Fortnite.
Its easy to play and fun… even my dad plays! The developers are brilliant
As someone who hasn’t personally played the game I still know several people who play it regularly. It is very similar to a PUBG clone but also brings enough difference to stand out and that is very valuable for games these days as people get burnout on the same stuff these days
It is truly amazing that this game has amassed such a large quantity of players in such a little time. As an person who has played Fortnite, it is understandable why the game has such a large following because of the addicting nature of the game.
Looking back a year later, it is very interesting to see the success Fortnite had in its beta stage as much as it has now in its fully completed stage. Fortnite is a hugely popular game right now and has grown in popularity since its release. I am quite impressed with it’s success maintaining since its birth.
It’s a great game, but too addicting. Last year when it started I didn’t think anything of it, but now you can’t go anywhere without someone talking about it. Fortnite was able to tap into a large market because of it’s uniqueness and the fact that is free. It’s amazing that a free game is so successful.
