To celebrate Avengers: Endgame hitting theatres, the Fortnite Avengers: Endgame Limited Time Mode is out now as a part of the 8.50 update for the game. This mode has players taking on the role of Chitauri and Thanos or the Avengers and players can wield items of either faction. In addition to this, Fortnite Android gets some much needed fixes such as MSAA anti-aliasing now working on the Huawei P30 Pro, Mate 20, and Mate 20X while reactive effects on the Fortnite Marshmello outfit were rectified as well. The Fortnite Avengers update download size is around 160MB on iOS with the rest of its content downloaded in-game.
Fortnite now has nearly 250 million registered players, Epic Games announced at GDC 2019. At its peak, the game also hit 10.8 million concurrent players, the company revealed. These numbers are massive to say the least, especially if you consider the fact that Fortnite launched only around 18 months ago. Fortnite's player base has been growing rapidly ever since.
The game had hit 200 million players back in November 2018, and it was only at 125 million players in June 2018.
Fortnite's 10.8 million concurrent player figure, just above the 10.7 million mark it hit in February, is also a noteworthy achievement. Just to put it in context, India's Hotstar had hit 11.7 million concurrents on the IPL 2018 final live stream. Fortnite's concurrent player statistics are right up there with global sports live streaming records, one of the reasons why Netflix sees Fortnite as a biger rival than HBO.
