One million players? That was September. Now it’s (early) October, and Fortnite Battle Royale has already shot across the seven million player line without looking back.
The multiplayer shooter continues to enjoy meteoric success with its free PvP mode, success that Epic Games wants to keep going. To assist in that effort, the studio released an update this week that added player duos and supply drops to Battle Royale in the hopes of keeping it interesting and engaging. You’ll have to supply your own friend, however; there’s only so much magic that developers can work.
The team also continues to work on fine-tuning weapon accuracy and balancing the different approaches to combat: “Our goal is to provide a competitive experience without losing our unique playstyle and crazy over-the-top moments that Fortnite Battle Royale brings to the table.”
Thanks to over 7 million of you who have played Fortnite! We want to keep the Battle Bus flying, so Duos and Supply Drops are available NOW. pic.twitter.com/sRx767u4aG
