Fortnite was the second-most downloaded free-to-play game on PlayStation 4 in 2019, behind Apex Legends. The game earned $1.8 billion in revenue in 2019, which, while representing a 25 percent decline from its record-setting season in 2018, was still $200 million more than any other video game. The last time Epic Games released figures on how many people play Fortnite was in March 2019, when there were 250 million active accounts. Its busiest month was in August 2018, when 78.3 million people played the game. Moreover, the record for most players online at one time is 8.3 million, which was registered in October 2018.
According to Newzoo, more than 50 percent of those who play the game are between the ages of 10 and 25. Other analyses of Fortnite demographics found that more than 70 percent of players are male. None of the 100 players participating in the July 2019 Fortnite World Cup were women.
