Two weeks ago, we informed you that Fortnite was coming to mobile and oh boy did it make a truly exceptional first impression. Fortnite mobile launched last week and since its iOS release the video game has raked in over $1.5 million worldwide in the first four days of being out on Apple’s iOS. Within the first three days of the iOS release, gamers spent $1 million on in-app purchases according to Sensor Tower.
Within 24 hours of its launch, Fortnite Battle Royle topped the iOS charts in 47 countries despite being invite-only. To give you an idea of how well that is, similar games such as Knives Out made $57,000 and Rules of Survival earned $39,000 over the same four-day period. While this is a tremendous launch, it pales in comparison to Pokémon GO that made $4.9 million in four days and the $.6 million that Clash Royale made in their first four days.
