Fortnite Battle Royale reaches 525,000 peak concurrent players, 3.7 million daily active users

Since launching just over a week ago, Fortnite's Battle Royale has been doing well for itself.

At launch, Fortnite Battle Royale attracted over a million players. Now that more and more people are finding out about it, the numbers are growing.

Developer Epic Games shared a couple of new stats the game managed to achieve on Sunday. First, Battle Royale had 525,000 concurrent players across all platforms, this is a new peak for the game.

Fortnite BR Sunday Update: 525K PCU and 3.7M DAU (NA, EU, OCE)! Thanks everyone!

Across all regions (North America, Europe, Oceania), Fortnite Battle Royale had 3.7 million daily active users on the same weekend.

This is a great start, no doubt, but one can't help but wonder if these numbers could be much better. Considering the game is free-to-play, and the fact that it's the only battle royale mode on consoles, you'd expect double or triple these numbers.
