It is an understatement to say that Fortnite has been a success. The free-to-play title which is available now from the Nintendo Switch eShop has 8.3 million concurrent players worldwide. While the Battle Royale mode is completely free-to-play, Season Passes and cosmetics can be purchased with the in-game currency V-Bucks. So Epic Games must be making a truckload of money.
Epic Games Korea gave an interview where its spokesperson, Sung Chul Park, stated that Fortnite now has 8.3 million concurrent players worldwide.

Yeah, but is it REALLY free to play? I tried it once and felt instantly pressured to buy cosmetics. I deleted it and that was the best descision I’ve ever made.
Cosmetics can be obtained without payment, so yes it’s free to play.
It was a joke bro
I have 100+ hours in the game and I have not bought season passes or skins. Those things are not needed at all since they don’t give you an upper hand at the game. Just seems to me that you dismissed the game real quick.
Yeah, I know. That’s why I don’t understand the appeal of cosmetics, they don’t even effect your stats. Meh, I just didn’t really like it, waiting until something big happens in it
