It’s becoming hard to adequately describe the massive popularity of Fortnite, even after five years. For instance, the game just reportedly topped over 7.6 million concurrent players over the weekend after the launches of three new in-game experiences: Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival.
