Why is Fortnite Popular Again?

Fortnite started on July 21, 2017, by a company called Epic Games. It is a survival game where you fight other people to get number one. Also known as a victory royale. People liked Fortnite because it was free and easy. In 2020, 350 million people played Fortnite every day. However, around the end of 2020, the game was slowly losing popularity because there were fewer updates. 

 

Many people have been playing Fortnite again because it is back to its original map. Players have been getting back on the game because it was the map they used to play and know. They like the nostalgia that comes with playing the OG map. They also like playing with their friends again and winning as a team. Therefore, Fortnite has gotten very popular in the past week because of the update with the OG map.

    • I agree, I like fortnite but I don't play it very much.

  • My family have started playing fortnite again because of the OG map.  They said that Fortnite has actually been fun now but they will miss the OG map when it's gone. I like to watch my family play fortnite, laughing when they can't shoot their shot. But I think that Fortnite won't be like this after it leaves next month.

  • I have recently been playing fortnite because of the Og map. I really like it because it brings back memories. I will miss this map when it leaves next month. I feel like fortnite work be as popular when it's gone/

  • Lots of people in my family have started playing Fortnite again after they updated it back to the old map. I enjoy watching and playing fortnite. Laughing at someone struggling to win a fight is probably my favorite part of watching people play.

    • I agree, watching people struggle through a match is really funny.

  • I just got Fortnite before they brought back the old map. I only got it because I was born and had nothing else to play. I think the concept of the game is very simple and is better that way.

  • I have played Fortnite recently because of the OG map. I think bringing it back was a very good decision. they had 45 million concurrent players on the first day of it coming out and that's the most they've ever had and the most any game has ever had. I think Fortnite has had its ups and downs but it's still enjoyable at times.

     

    • I agree, fortnite had fallen off and this brought many players back.
