Epic Games Earns $ 15 Billion With Fortnite

The studio is now more powerful than a Ubisoft!

Epic Games offers THE Battle Royale of the moment. The Battle Royale beats all records with a simple system: Fortnite is free while cosmetics and Seasons Pbad are paid. However, they do not change anything at the player level – so it's not a pay-to-win – but the success still seems to go. And while the studio has completed a fundraising of more than a billion dollars, the Wall Street Journal reveals that the latter is now valued at … $ 15 billion! We are far from the 1000 billion Apple, of course, but the result is well and truly there: Epic Games is a studio that hits with a single popular title!

An explosive valuation for the Epic Games studio

Epic Games has had a quick success with Fortnite Battle Royale. A $ 15 billion valuation reported by the Wall Street Journal. Of course, the Chinese Tencent can only rejoice with nearly 48% of the studio detained. Many reasons can explain this success as the free-to-play formula with purchase of attractive cosmetics but also the multiplicity of platforms. The title can boast of being available on XBox One, PS4, Switch or … iOS and Android! In short, a title beside which it is difficult to pbad. Not to mention that on the last mentioned platform, Epic Games profits from its popularity to avoid the Google Play and at the same time the big commission of 30% carried out by Google for the purchases.

It remains to be seen if Epic Games will confirm success over time. The studio will not be able to rest indefinitely on Fortnite and will be forced to one day propose a new title winner. A title whose concept will be as addictive and attractive for players around the world!
