Currently, Fortnite Mobile is riding high on iOS devices, something that is being tracked by a lot of people.
Since becoming available to everyone with a compatible iPhone and iPad, the game has bounced back to the top of the Free App Charts.
It’s also in the no.1 spot for top grossing iOS Apps and is likely to continue blazing a trail alongside Battle Royale rival, PUBG.
And it appears that Fortnite Mobile on Android could be just as big.
It was recently revealed that the popular new port from Epic Games made more than $5 million in its first 10 days on Mobile.
That’s a big number and is likely only going to increase now it’s available to even more people.
“Fewer than two weeks after it hit iOS devices as an invite-only “event” and only 10 days after it began offering cosmetic in-app purchases to players, Fortnite from Epic Games has grossed approximately $5.3 million worldwide,” according to Sensor Tower Store Intelligence estimates.
“Fortnite currently ranks in the top 10 for overall iPhone revenue in three countries: Switzerland (No. 2), Luxembourg (No. 6), and the United States (No. 7). It’s in the top 100 in another 28 countries, but in Japan, where Knives Out is currently the No. 4 grossing app overall, it’s all the way down at No. 498.
“Meanwhile, the world’s current mobile battle royale download king, Tencent’s PUBG Mobile, has yet to begin monetizing. Fortnite has surpassed its monthly microtransaction revenue on console and PC, so it should be interesting to see how the two games stack up on mobile once both are offering items for purchase.”
It’s unclear if Fortnite on Android will go through the same pilot program as on iOS, but even if it does, it still looks set to be very popular.
So when will the Fortnite Mobile Android downloads start rolling out?
Epic Games themselves have confirmed that the sheer amount of hardware available on the Android platform has meant holding back on the Fortnite launch.
While iOS has a much narrower range of phones, Android includes a massive list of different devices.
