Fortnite tops 125 million players in less than a year, World Cup 2019 announced

Can you say “printing money”? Because Epic Games certainly can thanks to the runaway success of Fornite Battle Royale all across the board.

And now with a Nintendo Switch version and the upcoming 2018/2019 Competitive Season (which is open to anyone) and 2019 Fortnite World Cup, we expect the Battle Royale game to reach stratospheric heights.  Epic will be bankrolling the $100,000,000 prize pool for all the events, so you better get playing if you want to earn a piece of that pie.

See the Fortnite World Cup announcement below.
