Fortnite’s growth has slowed, but here’s why its peak is yet to come

Fortnite is already one of the biggest games in the world after months of astronomical growth, but its rate of growth is beginning to slow down, according to the estimations of research firm SuperData. Of course, that’s not to say that the battle royale shooter didn’t do booming business in July.

“Players spent $8.2 billion on digital games in July [worldwide], up 3 percent from the same month last year,” reads SuperData’s report. “Growth came mainly from console once again due to Fortnite and rising full game download rates. Premium PC was the weakest segment this month, down 14 percent year-over-year.”
