And just like that, Fortnite set a new all-time concurrent player record with over 6.1 million concurrent players in the game yesterday.
The 6.1 million concurrent players can be chalked up to Fortnite’s Chapter 4 release, Fortnite OG, which sees the return of the original island and weapons.
The return of the OG map holds many positive memories for players, with many flocking to the Battle Royale, Ranked Battle Royale and Zero Build Battle Royale modes, respectively.
The massive influx of players was also responsible for a considerable bump in viewers for Fortnite’s big streaming personality, Ninja, who has been streaming OG Fortnite for over 40 hours this past weekend.
The jump in players also led to an official Fortnite Status warning players about possible queues when logging in.
“We’re continuing to monitor server health and capacity following the launch of the Fortnite OG season, and players may find they experience a short queue before logging in.”
Now we want to know from you, Fortnite players, have you been enjoying the return of OG Fortnite? Let us know in the comments.
