Apptopia<\/a> estimates Fortnite<\/a> has surpassed the 100 million download mark after being on the market for less than five months – and more impressively – while only being available to iOS players. We don\u2019t expect PUBG Mobile<\/a>, which is largely viewed at Fortnite\u2019s number one competitor, to hit this mark for another 206 days on iOS. *The below chart does not include downloads from Google Play or any other app store besides Apple’s iOS App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortnite and Pokemon GO<\/a> are both phenomenons in their own rights and for different reasons\u2026 so why is Nintendo\u2019s Super Mario Run<\/a> leading the pack here? It\u2019s a combination of advertising and timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo spent ample money on advertising and marketing efforts, including teaming up with Apple for prime App Store real estate in the week leading up to launch. Combine that with a heavy dose of nostalgia and the holiday bump mobile games typically receive in December, and we have a monstrous launch. Keep in mind that Super Mario Run had a massive drop-off in velocity of downloads about a month after launch, whereas Fortnite and Pokemon GO have been able to sustain a consistent level of high downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time is money<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In just May + June combined, players worldwide spent\u00a02.7 billion hours<\/strong>\u00a0playing the game, with an average session time of 21.6 minutes. This beats out Pokemon GO at an average session length of 14.8 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as impressive as Fortnite\u2019s ability to attract users is its ability to monetize them. The game has cleared $160 million in in-app purchase revenue<\/strong> since launch in mid-March. The game is currently on pace to hit half a billion dollars in IAP revenue around April 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
