No one is really questioning how massively popular Epic Games’ Fortnite is on mobile. But the numbers are in and it has outstripped competitor PUBG Mobile almost fivefold on iOS devices, according to market analyst Sensor Tower. Comparing the two games’ first week revenue on the Apple App Store reveals PUBG generated about $700,000 while Fortnite raked in $3.7 million.
Both are free-to-play and earn their revenue through in-app purchases. Though PUBG Mobile launched worldwide in mid-March, it only implemented this monetization strategy in the past week. Unlike Fortnite, it’s available on both iOS and Android devices, and Sensor Tower estimates that it’s earned around $1 million on both those platforms outside of China.
