Some games are certainly a hit when they come into the market than others that take time. For example, today one of the hyped-up video games has got to be Fortnite.
But what makes this game so much hyped all across the globe? Well, that’s a question that anyone would find hard to answer as several factors contributed.

Fortnite Game
One thing that is for sure about this game is that it is more of a crossover between shooter and Minecraft. As a player of the game, your main aim to survive the multiple attacks that will be launched on you.
When the game was launched sometime in July, it was only for consoles and PCs alone. But there have been rumors that the developer is looking to broaden the horizon due to the hype it is getting.
There is an iOS app for the game that is available, however – it’s an invite-only app.
In September the battle royale mode of the game graced the market. And that took the game to a whole new level as more people looked further into the game. The battle royale is more or less the apex center of the game.
In the battle royale, you have a massive crowd of around 100 plus fighters looking to fight and survive. The thing that makes this mode even more popular is that there can only be one survivor here.
