According to video game market research group SuperData, Epic Games? battle royale behemoth saw a dramatic falloff in September 2019. Fortnite digital spending was down a significant 43% month-over-month, which resulted in the game toppling from first in the August console chart to just seventh in September, behind the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Grand Theft Auto V, and Borderlands 3.
Digital sales within the industry were down on the whole, though only by 1% for a total of $8.9 billion. Although numerous factors almost certainly played into that final figure, it?s likely that Fortnite alone contributed a sizable portion of the blow. With the game being down across all platforms, last month marked its worst for digital revenue in almost two years (November 2017). That drop in spending does come just ahead of the whole relaunch to Fortnite Chapter 2, which launched just this month.
