Fortnite playtime on consoles last month topped COD, EA Sports FC, GTA 5 and Roblox combined

Season OG and new experiences like Fortnite Lego fuelled a massive jump in user.

CoD is usually right behind Fortnite on the most played lists of Xbox live and PSN. Fortnite has more players than its nearest competitors, or its players play substantially more. Another possibility is that Fortnite’s most hardcore players largely [or soley ]play just Fortnite.

There's a lot of kids playing fortnite. They have all the time in the world so it makes sense.

There was 2.4 million people playing Lego Fortnite a while back but it’s dropped off the map since there’s a huge lack of content and the game is riddled with bugs and server lag. They pretty much sent it out to die.

It has just barely been 1 month since the game mode came out…..kinda hard to blame them for not putting out a whole bunch of content and updates in less than 5 weeks since it was released

“It has just barely been 1 month since the game mode came out“

This is the problem with gamers nowadays. You should expect a game to be somewhat complete and work properly ant launch. Extra content and updates are icing on the cake.

[--Onilink--]

i would say the problem with gamers nowadays would be when they are suddenly expecting content updates for a game mode that has been out for 5 weeks…

Even normal updates can easily take a few weeks to do.

And thats not taking into account that there isnt inherently anything gamebreaking about the bugs in Lego Fortnite?

Can it be better? Yes. Can it have more content? Also yes. Is a completely functional and serviceable game mode as it is right now? Absolutely

[Jin_Sakai]

“Even normal updates can easily take a few weeks to do.“

Why not release it when you have proper content ready instead of pushing out the door in a barebones state? It’s also full of bugs and glitches. Did they not play test before releasing the game?

“Is a completely functional and serviceable game mode as it is right now? Absolutely“

No it’s not. Have you not seen all the X and Reddit post? Literally everyone is having issues building because the server lag is breaking everything or builds just flat out disappearing when logging out and back in.

Its literally s free game mode aside fortnight. Like rocker league racing.

The comments saying that its fine and it works wouldn't be singing the same tune if the article was about an Xbox exclusive.

Crazy how this hasn't died off yet

To hear kids talk about this and asking for money to buy things from the store saddens me. They'd rather have virtual stuff than ask for brand new cool looking games.

Lots of kids were unwrapping cardboard cards with fornite codes this year for Xmas I bet that kind of makes me sad especially since I still have a lot of my games like my Gameboy with DK country as a example it's tangible real and reminds me of Christmas morning when I was a kid every time I see it.

Kids getting DLC or digital games that will be forgotten in a few weeks man I hate that gaming has come to this.

[Rocketisleague]

Times change and you're not a kid any more. You wonder what kids 20.years before your generation look forward too and so.on. At some point so.e considered a bar of.chocolate a gift worth getting excited over

[Rocketisleague]

I've been playing it on a d off for years. It's great fun. Most importantly..I have never spent any money on it.

Br sad if you must but if live service is going becoming the biggest thing...fortnite is the one doing it right. They even upgraded to unreal engine 5 recently. Can't say that about some aaa studios

[AshleeEmerson]

I mean, Fornite is from Epic Games, who are the creators behind Unreal Engine 5 so, this was not only a boost to what they had but a showcase of their technology.

Also, yes, it's really fun and Fortnite has the template for the Metaverse, they are creating the foundation, I pray Apex finds that road (as my favorite shooter EVER!).

[franwex]

I’m sure that’s what our parents or grandparents were saying when we were getting excited about an NES game.

[Demetrius]

Not surprised there's so many lil kids that understand how to play fortnite, I never been into it I rather play COD campaign and I don't even like COD no more cause it's all about multiplayer and paid add on bullshhi

[Demetrius]

Not surprised so many kids like to play and females too, I know females who love fortnite idk why but won't play gems like AC origins, God of War 2018&2022 or the previous ones, alan wake, I tried fortnite for like 30 mins and Uninstalled that shhi I rather play COD campaign n that says alot cause I'm not even into COD no more cause it's all bou multiplayer and pay for shhi that shoulda been unlockable in the game

I enjoy playing Fornite, i have bought a lot of skins, but just because i can do it and i enjoy the game, but you could enjoy the game without spending a single cent, and the Battle-pass on fornite is also cheap, and if you bought it once, you dont need to spend money ever again to get the new ones as long as you complete it. One of the few games where i felt like buying skins just because its my choise and not because i felt obligated and that im missing something if dont use money.
