Why does Fortnite remain so popular? First, it is free to play. That has lowered the barrier to entry. It can be downloaded and played on a console, a computer or even a phone by anyone free of charge. That goes a long way toward maintaining a large, active player base.

A second reason is how much the game changes. New seasons are released often, and with each one comes updates to the map, weapons, skins and game mechanics. Some functionalities are eliminated while existing ones are enhanced. This is an unceasing rotation that prevents the game from becoming repetitive for even long-time players. It also provides a reason for people to come back after they’ve stopped playing and try again.

Fortnite is also a game that accommodates multiple types of player. And then there are those who are all about the battle royale. Others stick around for more time in creative mode, building maps, games or just hanging out. Fortnite has also collaborated with a range of other brands, celebrities and entertainment franchises. These crossovers provide players with access to content they know from games, movies and sports.

This game is extremely easy to grasp, but has so much depth. It is a game that can be played casually or competitively. It is a wide appealing age group. It is fairly fast on a wide range of systems and is cross platform. The subreddit is actively moderated and frequently updated. The combination of them all make for a game as relevant and accessible and active as it is given various changes in dynamics.
