Katri Marcell Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Have you seen that? We knew that Fortnite was succesful and is topping one revenue record after another but... $8 million prize pool? That's a huge step for games of its caliber. Can PUBG and Realm Royale compete to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I haven't noticed anything about this yet! I think Fortnite could easily afford that big of a prize pool. Fortnite cleared around 250 Million in April. I am sure they are continuing to sky rocket, especially since they are releasing new & great content! I would say the only company that can compete with that right now is PUBG. Realm Royale is a big hit, although I don't see it generating enough revenue yet to play with the big boys.

9Online Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Man, 8 million is a lot of money! It's incredible how big the gaming industry has gotten over the past few years. Fortnite really took-off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UleTheVee Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 LOL. You are aware that this prize pool is NOTHING compared to the numbers brought by DOTA and The International? Let's do this quick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthHazard Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm sure those games are doing a lot but Fortnite isn't far behind. This $8,000,000 is just one small part. They have several other tournaments and Epic Games did promise that there would be $100 million set aside for tournaments in just 2018-2019 alone. That's pretty impressive for a game that was only released a year ago and for a developer that was relatively unknown until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UleTheVee Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Again, DOTA 2's The International is one of several events as well. It has a huge prize pool and this is just the peak of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortnite has grown A LOT since last year and it also looks like a completely different game than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
