The recent surge in concurrent players could be attributed to the game’s release in South Korea earlier this week. Previously, Fortnite had a peak of 3.4 million players on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in February, causing significant server issues.
In August, Epic Games announced that it was Fortnite’s “biggest month yet,” with 78.3 million players engaging in the popular battle royale game. Given the recent report of 8.3 million concurrent players, it’s highly likely that November will surpass all previous records.
