If you have a teenager in your house, you shouldn’t be surprised by Nielsen’s latest statistic: Fortnite took in $1.8 billion in sales in 2019, more money in a single year than any game in history.

SuperData, the video game arm of Nielsen, gave the numbers on the game. Epic Games owns Fortnite but doesn’t break out its revenue. Overall, the gaming industry racked up $120 billion, up four percent from 2018.
The data was compiled from mobile, PC, console games, augmented reality, esports, and virtual reality revenues. The 2019 revenue breaks down into $64.4 billion for mobile games, $29.6 billion for PC, and $15.4 billion for consoles.

Fortnite is free, but charges a $10 seasonal Battle Pass. It also sells in-game items like clothes, weapons, dances and reactions for players. The game boasts 125 million players.

In context: Whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, there's no denying that Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world right now. The sheer number of players that flock to the title on a daily basis is hard for many people to fathom, and unlike some other popular titles, the Fortnite train hasn't lost much steam lately.

Indeed, Fortnite seemingly continues to grow and fill Epic's already-deep pockets even further. This allows the company to offer more freebies on the Epic Games Store, and snag more high-value timed exclusives for the platform.
But just how big is Fortnite's userbase now, anyway?
However, the company did recently announce its latest registered player count, and the figure is staggering -- Fortnite has accrued 350 million total players to date.

After all, the game likely counts you as a "registered" player the second you boot it up for the first time; even if you uninstall it minutes later. Still, it's the best idea of Fortnite's popularity that we've got for now.

It'll be interesting to see how long Fortnite can retain its appeal, but for the time being, it's clear that the game isn't going anywhere anytime soon; for better or worse.
