<p>If Nick were still doing his News by Numbers column, he’d be all over a stat like this. Turns out that Battle Royale game people won’t stop talking about rakes in <em>a lot</em> of money.</p>
<p>On mobile alone, <em>Fortnite</em> is reportedly making as much as $2 million USD a day average. Bearing in mind ‘mobile’ in this context just means the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fortnite/id1261357853?mt=8&at=11l7vY" target="_blank">iOS version</a>, since Android hasn’t landed yet.</p>
<p>The data comes <a href="https://sensortower.com/blog/fortnite-daily-revenue-season-five" target="_blank">via Sensor Tower</a>, a business-focused website that likes to track activity such as this. Between the iOS version’s launch on March 15<sup>th</sup>, 2018 and July 11<sup>th</sup> (when Season 4 ended), the daily figure was around $1.2 million USD.</p>
<p>The new higher estimation comes from data pulled from the first ten days of activity for <a href="https://www.pockettactics.com/articles/fortnite-season-5-patch-notes-ios/" target="_blank"><em>Fortnite</em>’s Season 5 content</a>. This new figure is 19% higher than what was spent on average during the first days of Season 4. Sensor Tower also states that the game’s all time high daily spend was on July 13<sup>th</sup> (so a couple of days into S5), where it hit $3 million USD.</p>
<p>There’s still no word on when the Android crowd is allowed in on the fun, but we’re still expecting it to drop before the end of summer.</p>
