Ampere Analysis: PlayStation and Xbox players spent almost 1.5 billion hours in Fortnite in November
Big-boom end of the year for Epic Games.
Growth by October was 146%, from 600 million hours to 1.478 billion hours.
Such rapid growth is attributed to an update that brought back the original Fortnite map from the first season.
45% of all Fortnite users in November did not play the game in October. This means that Epic Games managed to bring back a significant number of players even before the release of the Big Bang update.
The closest competitor in November on consoles in terms of hours played is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (Warzone 2.0) with just under 600 million hours in total.
Interestingly, the most popular Netflix series, The Night Agent, had 133 million hours of viewing per month in the last half a year. Fortnite had 630 million hours on consoles alone.
