PUBG Mobile’s first week revenues on iOS only a fifth of Fortnite’s
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Dunno why anyone would pay for anything in Fortnite through the appstore unless it's the only platform you own it on. V-Bucks are cheaper when bought anywhere else.
does anyone really care about these figures if they don't include China? and even then they wouldn't be that significant without knowing android user spend
My kids often get iTunes gift cards so they will spend them on V-Bucks sometimes.
I was starting to like those "XXX,XXX concurrent PUBG players" threads we used to have, then Fortnite had to come fuck everything up.
That said, literally everyone I know irl that has a remote interest in games is playing, or has played, Fortnite. The demographic this game was able to capture is insane.

if PUBG is dead then every game you like was never even alive.
like, are you joking right now or being serious
If they are the same as on pc/console this is no surprise. I mean gamble on a lootbox for a 99% chance to get something that looks like someone spent 5 minutes creating, or just straight up buy a skin with no gambling involved.
Tencent is doing the mobile port of PUBG? Meanwhile Epic's majority is held by them too. Either way, it seems Tencent wins.
Hardly surprising considering the two are separate entities so what you buy in the mobile version is locked to that version, unlike Fortnite where by you can buy stuff there and it's also on your main account on your PC/console.
Free to play literally everywhere with cartoony style and easier, more dynamic gameplay.
It's not hard to see tbh, PUBG was crippled by being a PC only beta for and Epic took advantage.
They're both great games so it's good to see both being successful.
The player models in PUBG just aren't big enough to care about skins, and the move to FPP only further drives down sales. In Fortnite you can at least clearly see your own person, and others. Also, in PUBG many matches can be played without seeing ANYONE, and dying to a sniper bullet from "I don't know where". Skins are just not worth it in that (nor are they in any game)
low level gameplay in fortnite might be easier..but i'd say that high level is pretty damn impressive from what i saw.
I love Fortnite but I find it impossible on iOS, the auto-aim just isn't strong enough.. and I'm playing on the 12.9 iPad Pro and not an iPhone where it would be even worse. On the other hand, didn't really care for PUBG on PC, it was just too generic-looking but it plays really well on the iPad. What I'm trying to say is I'm surprised by the difference.
Yeah. It doesn't look that great on PC/consoles, and it looks even way worse on mobiles. The artstyle doesn't scale well for mobile.
Fortnite's artstyle, on the other hand, is a perfect fit for mobile.
I feel like thats a really important component to this discussion.
Is this an estimation? I can't imagine how they possibly can monetize more from 3.7 than a pool of 20 million.
I was excited to play it but it's too late now, ship's sailed.
Thats why they are introducing weapon skins, so you can look at a skin in FPP...
Exactly, these things are always relative. It's crazy to say that PUBG is dead.
It also helps that Fortnite is vastly superior game, runs smoothly, is updated regularly with new content. And it's free.
Masaka?! But they said PUBG is THE end all be all battle royal game.
Well looks like they should have been a little more humble in the past.
