Fortnite Battle Royale has recently entered its third chapter and the 19th season overall. Once again, Epic Games has made massive changes with a new chapter, making the game feel fresh and amazing. Many players are wondering how these changes have affected the Fortnite Player count, which is what we will reveal.
Chapter 2 was great, but many Fortnite players had grown tired of it. There is no doubt that Epic Games released the third chapter in the right time as the game needed a much-needed refresh and something new. Fortunately for the game developer, these big changes have positively impacted the player base.

Fortnite players have gotten a new island and many new gameplay features with the release of Chapter 3. Furthermore, Epic Games has completely changed the loot pool, adding new unique weapons never seen in the game before. Many players have also enjoyed the storyline and the event that lead to the new chapter.
According to PlayerCounter, Fortnite has 3.1 million players as of this writing. This number rarely goes under two million, which shows how popular Fortnite still is. As a matter of fact, Epic’s battle royale title is head and shoulders above its main competitors, Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone.
The Fortnite player count website states that more than 27 percent of players come from the United States of America. The game is also very popular in Brazil (8.08 percent), Russia (5.50 percent), the United Kingdom (5.14 percent), and Germany (4.78 percent).
The competition is still behind
Just like it was the case a few months ago, Fortnite Battle Royale is still much more popular than its competition. Apex Legends still has under a million concurrent players, while Warzone is nowhere close to a million.
Considering that Chapter 3 has received a lot of positive reviews and that many streamers have also returned to the game, we can expect Fortnite to stay on top for the first few months of 2022. Furthermore, it appears that Epic Games will keep releasing weekly updates to the game, which will make it much more interesting.
With the current situation, it would take a miracle for Call of Duty: Warzone to become the most popular battle royale video game. However, Apex Legends could be a serious threat to Fortnite in the future.
