How Fortnite is affecting Activision and Call of Duty

Call of Duty could get a battle royale mode when Black Ops 4 launches in October, but last player-standing shooters like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are already having an effect on Activision’s business. The publisher has also said that it has changed how it looks at mobile thanks to the success of the genre on iOS and Android.

Fortnite and PUBG are both massive megahits with millions of players, and Activision confirmed that it is feeling the tug of the arrival of these games in its financials. At the same time, the publisher notes that Call of Duty is continuing to grow.
