'Fortnite' Revenue Down Nearly 50% Since December
According to SuperData Research, Fortnite revenue saw a significant drop month-over-month in January, but continues to do well year-over-year. "Fortnite revenue on all platforms combined declined 48% month-over-month in January, although sales are still up significantly year-over-year," they said. "This comes after a peak month in December and points to an increasingly lumpy revenue profile heading into 2019."
SuperData also found that Fortnite isn't even in the top three revenue earners on PC, with it coming in 5th place, just beating out PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Dungeon Fighter Online held the top spot, with League of Legends coming in 2nd, Fantasy Westward Journey Online II placing 3rd, and Crossfire taking 4th. On console, however, Fortnite came in 2nd, just behind FIFA 19. The Battle Royale game didn't even make the top 10 on mobile devices.
There are many things that could contribute to Fortnite seeing a less-than-ideal January. One of the biggest could be due to the fact that more people are likely to spend money in December because of the holidays. Either way, Epic Games certainly isn't hurting in the grand scheme of things.
Of course, it will be interesting to see how February stacks up, especially now that Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends is on the battle royale scene. One can only hope the two feed off of each other to benefit gamers everywhere. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, Fortnite is about to enter its eighth season, and it looks like there will be a bounty of fun on the way. Just today, another teaser was released, which you can find right here. Fornite is currently available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and mobile devices.

Maze I've been saying it for a while now, fortnite killed itself. Was a great game but they just changed it way too much and it won't be the same anymore, and now games like Apex will continue making its revenue fall
Agreed. Since APEX has become such a craze, Fortnite have offered something worth £8 for free if they complete 13 challenges. It's crazy how things can change in a couple months.. I am still enjoying Fortnite, however I've only just started to proper play it.. I say in around a month I won't really be playing it. But we will never know, hopefully Season 8 is better and makes players want to play more.
