Fortnite has finally done it. Tonight’s Remix Finale event has at last beaten the game’s long-standing concurrent player record, set back in 2020 when 12.3 million players tuned in for the first broadcast of its lockdown-era Travis Scott concert.
14.3 million people were in-game tonight for Fortnite’s Remix Finale event, according to the game’s public player stats, while millions more were watching online via Twitch and YouTube.
Still, that’s higher than the 9.8 million watching in-game earlier this month when the Fortnite Remix mini-season kicked off with a livestreamed concert in Time Square featuring Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice. It’s more than double the 5.6 million players who logged in for October’s hour-long Doctor Doom battle. And perhaps most impressively, it’s also higher than last December’s much-hyped The Big Bang event, which was attended by 10 million players at the end of the game’s OG season.
