Fortnite Hit 3.4 Million Peak Concurrent Players on February 4th
In the official post announcing this fact, Epic also went into detail about how the extreme load of concurrent players caused six different “incidents” over the past weekend. These range from account service outage and XMPP outage to cloud capacity limits and throttling. It’s a very in-depth read and follows up on the excellent communication the team has provided to fans about recent problems.
Fortnite’s last major milestone was in January 2018 when it announced that over 40 million players had downloaded the game till date. The concurrent player record at the time was over 2 million players so to see such a large jump in such a short time is astounding.

I find every-time the game gets bigger it's harder to control the game itself. There's so many people complaining abut servers errors, bug, glitches etc.. BUT I'm happy for Fortnite. One of the best "free access" games out there today.

KyloCrux That is nuts, that is a crazy number! Never thought this game would be this good going up against PUBG.
It only has this much players because it is free. That is the only reason. ALOT of people would not play this game otherwise. Yes people would buy it but it would never reach that insane amount of people if it cost money.

BPM22q That's insane imagine if they game costed $30 they would make a big load of cash!
If the game did cost anything, they wouldnt get anywhere near those numbers. Its all down to the fact its free to play.
Thats debatable, yes they would have a lower amount of players but it wouldnt be a huge decrease. Players are purchasing the bundles even though they have the free-to-play version. Players are enjoying this game so much, I dont see if they had a mandatory price, it wouldnt change much.

with this new updating being pushed out, they're more than likely going to get another peak. Still waiting for a 50v50 or a bigger team based game mode.
