There are a lot of contributing factors that affect the Fortnite daily and monthly player count each month, and here’s an estimated number of players that you will see in the game this month.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 introduced a vehicle meta alongside crossovers with Fallout and Metallica. While the vehicle meta drew mixed reactions from the players, the crossovers were an instant hit.
