Fortnite has over 45 million players and has achieved 2 million concurrent users

Update, January 19: Fortnite has picked up another five million players to bring its total player count to 45 million.

It’s been one heck of a week for Epic Games. It’s only been four days since we learnt Fortnite had reached 40 million players and, in that time, another five million have jumped on the Battle Bus. That brings the total number of players to 45 million and the concurrent user count to over two million this past weekend.

It’s likely this surge of players is due to Fortnite Battle Royale’s new updated map, which was remodelled on January 18. 

The update has added new points of interest to the map including a motel, new city, underground mine, and a variety of other new locations on the island’s western side. The new patch also included biomes to give each area its own unique environment.
