“Fortnite’s ability to hold people in and keep bringing old fans back is amazing. With the release of its new “Zero Build” game mode back in March, the game has seen a massive fluctuation in its player base.”
Fortnite has been stealing the spotlight since its release in 2017. The popular battle royale has broken various records with consistency in holding a high player base. In Playstation's recent blog post on their website, they revealed that Fortnite was the most downloaded free-to-play game on Playstation in April 2022.
Fortnite maintains top spot in Playstation's most downloaded list
Fortnite has been competing against other popular battle royales such as "Apex Legends" and "Warzone" for a while now. Both of these games also came in the top five most downloaded free-to-play games on Playstation. Still, they did not surpass Fortnite for number one.
Apex, just having its "Apex Legends Global Series", which was a massive $1 million prize tournament held in Sweden, has been at the top of its game. Apex currently holds itself in second place, directly below Fortnite.
