Fortnite cellular has been round for 5 months, and is raking in all types of money.
There is pretty strong evidence that Fortnite is getting all of the money at this level. Part of that success is actually because of an iOS version that earns roughly $2 million a day.
Now a new report from Apptopia (thanks GamesIndustry.biz) has crunched some numbers to see how nicely the cellular model is doing general. The reply: fairly nice. In 5 months, the sport has obtained 100 million downloads, and cleared roughly $160 million in in-app buy income.
At this fee, Epic Games is anticipated to realize half a billion {dollars} in income from the iOS app alone.
That’s to not say Fortnite cellular is the quickest downloaded free-to-play app. Apptopia notes that Super Mario Run reached 100 hundred million in 68 days, whereas Pokemon Go reached the identical quantity in 71. Yet it’s quickly outpacing Battle Royale competitor PUBG, which is projected to achieve 100 million downloads in 344 days.
Now contemplate that we’re simply speaking about iOS. Imagine what is going to occur when Fortnite arrives on Android platforms later this 12 months.
