Fortnite has maintained its position as a leader in the Battle Royale genre, boasting impressive player counts in 2024 and showing promise for continued success into 2025. Over the years, Epic's cherished Battle Royale has cultivated a dedicated fanbase, with many players remaining engaged since its initial chapter. Additionally, Fortnite is renowned for its significant collaborations and crossovers, which consistently generate heightened interest.
As 2024 concluded, Epic celebrated the return of its immensely popular Christmas event, Winterfest, alongside the introduction of a new 5v5 tactical first-person mode, Ballistic, which entered early access on December 11.
Despite facing strong competition from prominent Battle Royale games such as Apex Legends and Call of Duty’s Warzone, Fortnite has consistently managed to maintain its dominance in the genre.
Player Count in 2025
Fortnite maintains an average of over 30 million active users daily, as reported by Active Player.
Epic Games offers real-time player count statistics accessible directly within Fortnite, visible under each game mode on the Discover screen in the Lobby menu. However, the company does not frequently disclose the total player figures.
In the past 30 days, Fortnite's peak concurrent player count reached 4.1 million. This figure is significantly lower than the November peak of 14.4 million, which can be attributed to the launch of Chapter 6 Season 1 on December 1.
Despite a slight decline, the average monthly player count remains robust. Below is a chart illustrating the average player count since July 2024.
December experienced a slight decline in comparison to the figures recorded in November; however, player counts remained robust during the final month of 2024.
November marked a notable surge in player engagement, achieving an average of 1,750,097 players, the highest in the last five months. This increase was anticipated due to the excitement surrounding Chapter 2 Remix, yet it remains a commendable rise.
This comes in the wake of August's achievement, which recorded an average of more than 1.6 million players during the launch of Chapter 5 Season 4. The Marvel-themed season maintained elevated player numbers until its conclusion on November 1.
In comparison to July and September, the months of October and November experienced an increase in player counts. Nevertheless, there was a decrease of approximately 250,000 daily players from August to the end of October, indicating a modest reduction in engagement as the season advanced.
The peak player count in November was nearly twice that of October's highest record for the year.
November experienced a remarkable increase in player engagement, nearly doubling the peak count recorded in October, reaching an impressive total of 9,846,962 concurrent players. This significant rise is illustrated in the accompanying chart.
The driving force behind this surge was Fortnite's live event, which marked the conclusion of the Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 4 and introduced the eagerly awaited Chapter 2 Remix—a brief season designed to evoke nostalgia.
The Fortnite Remix: The Prelude event took place in-game at the Restored Reels point of interest, featuring a live concert with performances by Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice in Times Square, New York City.
The event culminated with the premiere of the full Chapter 2 Remix trailer, which smoothly transitioned into the scheduled server downtime as Epic Games prepared for the classic season with a unique twist.
Subsequently, an end-of-season event titled Fortnite Remix: The Finale was held, paying tribute to Juice WRLD and celebrating his enduring legacy. Players who participated in this event were rewarded with the complimentary Slayer Juice skin.
