Fortnite on iOS hits $300 million revenue in 200 days

The iOS version of Fortnite has been a big hit, with the mobile battle royale game earning $300 million in 200 days, according to market analyst Sensor Tower since its launch on Apple smartphones and tablets March 15.

Fortnite is also available on the three major home gaming consoles (the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) and PC, and the free-to-play battle royale mode has turned the game into a global sensation. Its season pass model, which has players spend real money on a progression system that unlocks more cosmetic items as they play, has helped Fortnite become an earnings machine. Season 6 launched on September 27, and the iOS version grossed $20 million alone in the week after its launch.
