On top of this, the Battle Royale-style, in which up to 100 players fight it out at one time, mean that the re-playability of the game is infinite – each game is unique. Not only is the game free to play, but it is also available on most gaming platforms. The reasons why Fortnite has become such a global hit are clear to see. When looking at mobile shooter game downloads, it is clear that the mobile version of Fortnite has also been a great success, having been downloaded 78 million times in the first year of its release. Having burst onto the scene in 2017, Fortnite has since become a worldwide phenomenon, amassing 350 million players across the globe as of May 2020.
