Fortnite and PUBG Made Some Serious Money In January
A new report from SuperData suggests that, for the month of January, both of these Battle Royale-based shooters made some serious money. The company noted that, between the two games, a digital revenue of over $200 million was made, accounting for both PC and console versions of the game. That’s quite impressive, even though neither game could come close to beating Call of Duty: WWII and League of Legends in the top spots for console and PC, respectively.
PUBG managed to beat out Fortnite on the PC front, sitting firmly at number five while Epic Games’ shooter sat at number six. That said, PUBG didn’t even see a ranking on the console front, mainly because of its console exclusivity to Xbox One. Fortnite, however, managed to find a number five position on that chart. SuperData also noted that Fortnite managed to break its own record with player engagement.
Thus far, Epic Games’ release has generated millions of players, and with the introduction of its Season 3 Battle Pass, it should have no trouble getting more, especially with the visual improvement.
PUBG is getting its fair share of touch-ups as well, and it’s confirmed that players would be seeing a new map sometime this year, though the timeframe has yet to be tightened down.
Even with a number of clones appearing on the market, it appears that momentum for both Fortnite and PUBG hasn’t slowed down in the least, and considering the additions being made to each game, it’s not likely to get that way either. Now the big question is when we’ll see PUBG appear on the PS4 front (or, fingers crossed, either game on Nintendo Switch) so we can see some real growth in the market.

I'm not surprised at all, both games are extremely fun, i never binged a game like fortnite since mw2.
I'm just waiting for them to add something extremely annoying, but the fortnite devs have been really good about the things they release, not too OP or gamebreaking yet. plus they're pretty good when it comes to listening to the community when something needs fixing.

Both have cosmetic items and stuff you can buy so no surprise in the money they're making. They'll keep making more with the updates they'll keep pushing.

Maze 2 games, 200 million dollars. That's freaking insane man. BR is really dominating the gaming world right now.
Yeah it sure is. Also kinda crazy that most of fortnite's revenue is from cosmetic items.
