And why exactly would we hope that? Fortnite is doing more good for the industry than majority of games out there.

We have completed a significant site update. Come see what's new!
Apex Legends Hits 25 Million Players, 2 million concurrent players
- Thread starter Kawngi
- Start date
The ping system is crazy good. It's a BR that actually plays well with randos, which is a first. I mean it's honestly a first for basically any online mp shooter.
People are also just using mics too which is pretty rare too, usually everyone just sticks on discord. Almost reminds me of og Xbox glory days.

I don't see it having staying power, especially if next years COD has a BR.
But I think Blackout is miles better than PUBG and I think there's a debate to be had between the two.
Fortnite is too unique to be compared to other BRs imo.
Not sure if serious. And Respawn sent Titanfall 2 out to die, not EA btw
Yeah I’m loving it and I’m not a big BR fan. I love Titanfall though, and this map is just awesome. Gunplay feels fantastic. Loving the subtle and effective communication tools in this too. Caustic my dude
Congrats to Respawn on the successful launch and for making a great game.
Time will tell how well the community sticks around a month out as well as what kind of approach Respawn takes with updating the game. I honestly believe part of the reason why Fortnite has gotten so big and continues to stay relevant is the fact that are constantly releasing a new update and items to the game on a weekly basis. Time will tell but I'll definitely be playing!

I love Respawn, I couldn't be any more happy for them! Amazing numbers so far.
Also, yes.

Maybe Respawn should have picked a better date....
Easier to market a game if it's not going to against COD & Battlefield...
Great news, props to Respawn. I've been a fan of their work since modern warfare and Apex is the first BR I had fun with. Seriously considering buying the battle bass to support them even further.
As a teacher at a school that has pupil.computers. I despise Fortnite and what it have done.
it's not on mobile yet and it has no building mechanics which the minecraft generation love so i don't think so, no.
Nah.
Fortnite has reached casual status. Apex Legend is still very far away. But that’s good for the Industry.
I'm real happy for Respawn, they gambled but it paid off. Titanfall 2 was fantastic and deserved more love, and I didn't think I'd end up liking a squad-only BR but it's won me over big time, got the founder's pack and everything. Can't wait to see what's in store for it.
Waning player population, slow updates, still suffers from major bugs, the UI is a catastrophe, and they do things like add paint cans that have people playing to collect those instead of actually play. I like Blackout but it's getting to be a pain to find matches reliably on PC anymore, and it's pretty hard to justify the state it's in at this point in its release.
to be fair, battlefield was delayed to it's date after Respawn had already finalized the date. Though still not a good move.
Well yeah. There are 60 players on the map. 3 will win (at most).
Have they already launched the cosmetics store and battle pass?
What a launch, amazing. The most fun I've had with a game in a very very long time.
Gotta imagine this is taking away lots of players especially from CoD.
I still think Pubg and Fortnite will chug along in current form, Fortnite because it's just that huge and on all platforms and Pubg since it still hasa pretty big dediceated fan share and it still feels it has a bit of uniqueness to it with how the game feels to play.

So yeah they are probably not rolling in $$$$ right now. The game is free.
Introducing millions of new people to gaming, showing that monetization can work without loot boxes and generalizing the "battle pass" for multiplayer games, for starters.
I can only imagine..
This is using Azure, thats why it had such a smooth launch.
Microsoft making also bank on this game.
Wow, I was cautious in the first days but now it's becoming clear this game is a huge success !
Congrats to the devs, well done !

I think it’s a positive fad and great for kids to have something new they can share a communal passion for - a game that encourages social interaction, teamwork, construction and tactics as much as aggression.
Fortnite’s biggest contributions are the popularising the battle pass model with non-competitive challenges, and social interaction with pop culture crossover.
I bought BLOPS 4 for Blackout mainly but ended up playing and enjoying just regular TDM all the time, only played Blackout a couple of times and the times I wanted to jump in it, the match making was down or it took 15 minutes before finding someone and left it at that.
Ok nice. I imagine they have some fun skins for the heros. The fortnite inspired monetization model really is a winner.
No idea what even is MCC, but what has that got to do with this, or is this an other Resetera anti-MS bullshit post.

The fact I can actually hear whats happening in this game alone makes it better than Blackout, which had the worst sound design of any BR game Ive played.
Blackouts numbers have been dropping well before thie game came out. And unlike this iteration, the uniqueness of a BR mode in cod will be gone.
And they copied this idea from Dota 2, the Battlepass was a thing 3 years ago.
