Fortnite won $ 300 million on iOS, but Pokemon goes faster

A new report reveals how much the very popular and lucrative Fortnite Royal Battle Game from Epic is available on mobile, and especially on iOS. A report from SensorTower indicates that the game has now generated $ 300 million through its microtransactions on iOS since its launch 200 days ago on March 15. It's an amazing feat, but it's not the fastest at $ 300 million on iOS. Niantic's Pokemon Go holds this record, raising $ 300 million after just 113 days on the Apple platform, according to SensorTower.

Perhaps a better comparison for Fortnite is the iOS edition of its rival PUBG. The company started selling additional content on April 15, about 173 days ago, and has generated about $ 47 million since.

The SensorTower report also compares the first 200 days of Fortnite to other popular games, and Epic's Battle Royale game dominates. As you can see in the table below, Fortnite has generated millions of dollars more than games like Clash Royale, Honor of Kings and Knives Out during their first 200 days.

Of Fortnite's $ 300 million revenue on iOS, about 65% of the expenses came from the United States. According to the report, gambling averages $ 1.5 million a day in the world.

The report also highlights the importance of the game's commercial success in launching a new season at Fortnite. The iOS version has generated about $ 20 million last week since the start of season 6 on September 27, in part because of the launch of the new Battle Pass, which includes various extras.

Elsewhere, the SensorTower report indicates that Fortnite's Android version has generated $ 60 million since it arrived on August 9th. Combined with the $ 300 million of the $ 360 million iOS edition for iOS and Android.

Fortnite is also available on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The total turnover of the game for microtransaction is therefore much higher, all platforms combined.
