Is Fortnite Really Dying? SypherPK visits age-old question with answers

Fortnite was one of the most played, if not the most played games of recent times. But there are rumors that paint a different picture and say the game is dying. A video recently posted by SypherPK makes it clear that this is hardly the case. Even if the game’s trajectory has waned a bit in terms of popularity, that doesn’t necessarily mean the game is dead.

Sypher explains that based on personal experience, it’s easy to believe that the game is dying. For example, if a gamer is the only person in their social circle playing the game, they might think the game is dying. And that judgment is based on the personal perspective. In reality, the game is still going great. Not only that, players who exit the game are also making their way back.

Fortnite still has a super strong player base

Millions upon millions of gamers play Fortnite every day, and that has kept the game from falling into obscurity. To put things in perspective, PUBG was the most played game on Steam in 2018, with over 3 million simultaneous players. It was a huge deal, and the game even set a record on Steam. That was PUBG at its peak. When Fortnite peaked around the time of the Travis Scott concert, the game had around 12 million simultaneous players.

Tracking websites like PlayerCounter make it easy to find out how many players are playing the game at any given time. And right now, no matter when you decide to check the numbers, they’re always at the 4 million player mark. This suggests that the game is still immensely popular in the gaming community.

Fortnite has quite a number of players who play the game on a daily basis. Content creators, like SypherPK themselves, also help to attract attention to the game as well as new players. The minority perception that the game is dying is far from valid, and Fortnite is still going strong.
