Fortnite has cleared 100 million downloads on Apple’s iOS platform in 138 days, or less than five months, according to Apptopia, a third-party provider of app store data. And the hot free-to-play battle royale game has also cleared $160 million in in-app purchases on iOS.

That’s an impressive number, considering players can also play the game on the PC, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo’s Switch. Overall, Fortnite has cleared $1 billion in revenue since its battle royale version debuted in September 2017.
