Sensor Tower: Fortnite has earned $25 million on mobile

Epic Games’ Fortnite: Battle Royale mobile isn’t just grabbing players’ attention — it also has them reaching for their wallets. In its first month, it has now earned $25 million, according to market analyst Sensor Tower. And that’s only on iOS devices; once it launches on Android, the researcher estimates that the last player-standing shooter could rake in over $500 million this year.

Fortnite has enjoyed an explosion of popularity since launching on iOS devices in mid-March. Once it opened it up from invite-only to all players, its daily revenues immediately tripled. Though the game is free-to-play, it features in-app purchases for cosmetic items like new characters, skins, and emotes. People can also purchase Battle Passes to level up faster and earn more in-game items.
