Gaming influencer report: Ninja leaps to top in August

Ninja may have just missed out on being the top gaming influencer in July, but the popular Fortnite streamer was right back aboard the Battle Bus in August. As Fortnite’s player base continues to grow with game releases on iOS and Android, it’s no wonder the star continues to gain a larger following from dedicated new and old fans.
