25 Million Days Worth of Fortnite Were Watched in March

4.3

We know a lot of people play Fortnite, but how many people watch Fortnite? The answer is: also a lot, possibly a lot more. That, or we have a few of the most ambitious watchers of video games, ever.

According to games and media interactive intelligence firm, SuperData, a whopping 611 million hours of Fortnite were watched in March. That's 25 million days worth. Or in other words, that's about 69,750 years. That's crazy. I can't even imagine what the total count is for the game's entire existence. I don't think I want to know either.

As you can see with the chart above, no game even comes close to Fortnite in terms of hours watch. The closest is League of Legends, which looks roughly at the 100 million mark. Meanwhile, Fortnite's battle-royale rival, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, looks about at 80 million hours watched for the month. In other words, the entire world was watching Fortnite and (basically) Fortnite only, which isn't very surprising when you consider that we are, after all, talking about Fortnite.

SuperData doesn't specify what platforms are included in this figure, but presumably it's all the big ones: YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, AOL Video, etc.

What would be interesting to know is how many people consist in the making of this 611 million hours.

Fortnite is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and iOS. It is also currently in development for Android. When it will hit the mobile platform though, hasn't been divulged.

In other recent, related, and pressing news, a pet fly has won a Victory Royale. And Reese Witherspoon might be next. Man, squads with a pet fly and Reese Witherspoon is new life goals.

I've been to busy play recently but I can watch videos and livestream on the go. So this makes sense

Stomach already feels weird, this kinda makes me more sick to it lol. Rocket league is my most played game. Keep in mind this is one game, I'm at 1354 hours. This is a weird generation, in the end I hope people don't regret the amount of time spent on tech. If it gets to them as they get older, who knows how they'll handle it.

Fortnite is truly taking over gaming, with 611 M hours watched I can only imagine how much time played the game has altogether.

This game is completely unreal. I thought the title was 25 million days played, which seems a little more reasonable(not very much) but just WATCHING people, damn. Freaking insane.
