Fortnite, since its inception, has not only dominated the gaming world but has also made significant strides in the financial realm. Its collaborations with entertainment giants and consistent global headlines are a testament to its success. But how much does this gaming behemoth earn on a daily basis?
Labeling Fortnite as just ‘popular’ would be an understatement. Its global impact is evident from its collaborations with some of the most prominent names in the entertainment industry. However, the exact daily revenue remains a mystery, with Epic Games keeping the cards close to their chest.
Epic Games, the developer behind Fortnite, reported a staggering $5.1 billion in gross revenue in 2020. It’s essential to note that this isn’t solely from Fortnite. Epic Games has multiple revenue streams, including the Epic Store, Unreal Engine, and various holdings and subsidiaries. Estimating Fortnite’s exclusive contribution is challenging, but for argument’s sake, let’s assume it’s around $1 billion annually. This assumption stems from the community’s demonstrated spending power, such as the nearly $150 million donation to Ukraine in just over a week.
If we break down the $1 billion yearly estimate, Fortnite potentially earns around $2,739,726 daily. This figure can surge during special sales, holidays, or when sought-after crossover skins are available in the Fortnite Item Shop. The beginning of each season, marked by the purchase of the Battle Pass by a significant portion of players, also sees a notable revenue spike. While the relatively new Crew subscriptions might not be a major contributor now, it does add to the profit.
