Key Takeaways
- Fortnite’s fifth Chapter is about to come to a close with the launch of Chapter 6 tomorrow.
- Before all of that, though, we got a Remix event titled The Finale that showcased music from Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and more.
- The event drew in so many players that it managed to break the concurrent record that was set during the Big Bang event.
Fortnite Remix’s: The Finale event drew in more than 14 million players, breaking the game’s previous concurrent record of 11.6 million players during The Big Bang event.
Chapter 5 of Fortnite has had a lot of ups and downs over the past year, but it’s finally about to be time to let all of that go and look forward to a whole new era – Chapter 6. Epic has shared a lot about Fortnite’s new Chapter, which is titled Hunters and starts tomorrow, but before all that goes live, Chapter 5 has one last Remix-themed hurrah to get out of its system.

We will run out of things to remake, and so we will remake the remakes.
The last hurrah in question is a new event titled Fortnite Remix: The Finale. Just like the event that kicked off the Remix mini-season earlier in the month, The Finale focused on music from music legends like Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Enimem, and Juice Wrld, but it also did a little bit more than act as a concert as it also resulted in a new peak for the game as a whole.
Fortnite Remix: The Finale Broke A Major Record For Fortnite
As pointed out by Geoff Keighley on Twitter, Fortnite Remix: The Finale managed to draw in more than 14 million concurrent players, which shatters the game’s previous record. That record was for the Big Bang event that kicked off Chapter 5, which had 11.6 million users and shows how much Fortnite has grown since then.
That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering how massive Fortnite is anyway, but it does show how much anticipation there is for Chapter 6 (or how ready fans are to move on from Chapter 5). As for the event itself, it featured huge versions of Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Eminem (who recreated Houdini by fighting himself), and Juice Wrld all performing their music.
As promised, the late Juice Wrld’s newest song, Empty Out Your Pockets, debuted during The Finale, which closed out with a performance of Lucid Dreams. As a nice extra touch, players could also choose to “Keep Dreaming with Juice Wrld”, which played the Spider-Verse-esque music video for Empty Out Your Pockets.
