Fortnite Is Already 2nd Highest-Grossing iOS Game And It’s Just In Test Phase

As a testament to just how popular Epic Games’ Fortnite Battle Royale is, the game’s mobile app version is only at a test phase and it’s already the second highest-grossing iOS game on the U.S. Apple App Store. The 100-player title is now behind only Candy Crush Saga, but this is only for the American market. Elsewhere, it’s already at number one.

This new data comes via Apptopia, a data-tracking firm. As of writing, the report made by the site indicates that Fornite is currently number one in 89 countries for the General/Overall category while it’s number one in 113 countries under the Game category. As the firm points out, this is impressive because PUBG clones have been available on mobile for a while and they don’t even come close to touching Fortnite’s achievements.

“This is impressive because the highest grossing rank Rules of Survival has reached in the US is #41 in Games and the best spot Knives Out has pulled is #147. Japan is still more of a fan of Knives Out and Fortnite ranks #769 for Games grossing ranks there,” the report reads.

As VentureBeat notes, estimates have put revenues by top-grossing apps on the App Store at $3 to $8 million a day. This means that those who are currently playing Fortnite, who were basically invited by Epic, are spending an inordinate amount of money in the game.

Clearly, the game is riding high on its massive popularity, at the moment. This isn’t about to end anytime soon either, with Epic constantly putting out new updates, features, and events that keep players hooked. The developers basically created a monster of a system that makes releasing new contents and tweaking the game more efficient.

This impeccable quality of service is one of the reasons why Fortnite has become the biggest game in the world, at least in the Battle Royale genre. It’s also loads of fun.
