Of course you have to consider at this point that some of these games have been on the market for years. The Mobile Fortnite version, on the other hand, is brand new and benefits from an enormous hype.

Considering that so far there is only one iOS version and one release Android pending, we are sure to expect new record numbers soon. A big advantage over the main competitor PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is definitely the cross server function. The mobile and desktop versions are like one another, and costumes and other cosmetic items are also available on the other devices. So you play with a single account on all devices and keep all the things you have earned or bought.
