Now, there are some key reasons for the increasing popularity of the game, even after almost 3 years of its launch. First of all,the game is readily available on all major platforms like PC, consoles and evenmobile. So, this gives a huge boost to the number of registered players as players from every platform can just download the game start playing.

The second reason for Fortnite still growing as one of the most popular BR games in the market is thatthe developers continuously updates the gamewithnew features, weapons,cosmetic itemsandmodes. Epic takes Fortnite quite seriously and introduce interesting events andcrossoversfrom time to time to keep the players hooked.

However, 350 million registered users mean that the game has 350 million accounts of users, which may include multiple accounts of a single user. So, this number is surely a huge one in terms of registered players, but until Epic releases the number of active players in the game, I’d say to hold your horses before claiming that it is the biggest Battle Royale game in the market.
