Fortnite has more than 350 million players and is one of today’s most popular games. Its success may be due to the fact that the game is free and available on most gaming platforms. Fortnite was released in 2017 and was already downloaded 78 million times in the first year.

What makes Fornite unique?

Fortnite is all about collaborating to survive in an open-world environment. Players are up against characters controlled by the game itself or other players. There are three different kinds of game mode versions. There is “Fortnite Save the World”, “Fortnite Battle Royale,” and “Fortnite Creative.” All three worlds have their own possibilities and end-goals.

As already mentioned, Fortnite is a free game. Players don’t have to pay to have fun with their friends. Another reason why Fornite is so popular is that the game is cross-platform. Fortnite is played by many famous YouTubers but also by the famous rapper Drake. He even live streams some of his online matches. Having a famous rapper playing your game is amazing publicity.

Fortnite on YouTube and Twitch

YouTube and Twitch are full of videos of Fortnite. Last year December, the were so many viewers Fortnite took Twitch down. It was Fortnite’s Marvel-themed season 4 final; there we more than 15.3 million players fighting to win the final. There weren’t just a lot of players; there were 3 million viewers on Twitch. That was more than it could handle.

Fortnite was the fifth most-watched game on YouTube in 2020, with more than 67 billion views. There are so many videos discussing strategy, community drama, game modes, nerfs, and so many other things.

Is Fortnite safe for kids?

From the age of 12, kids are allowed to play Fortnite, but the age isn’t asked when making an account. So actually, just anyone can create an account. Fortnite allows players to communicate with each other over headsets and microphones. Kids are able to talk to strangers, but that doesn’t mean Fortnite isn’t safe. In almost, any online multiplayer game, players can communicate with others. It is important that parents make sure their kids know the danger of talking to strangers. Parents should also make very clear to their kids that they can’t buy things without asking. Fortnite allows players to buy things like new weapons or clothes. It is possible that kids don’t realize that they are spending real money. Parents can also use the parent’s controls on the gaming device. But overall, Fortnite seems like a fun and safe game. There are just the dangers of the internet that will always be present, no matter which game you play.

Fortnite is super popular, but the question remains will it be able to stay that in 2021? The game is recently no longer available on IOS devices, which causes a big falling out between Apple and Fortnite. Could this have an effect on Fortnite’s popularity? Fortnite has filed a complaint against Apple, saying it has abused its power. All we can say it isn’t a good way to end the year for Fortnite.
