  • Free Video Game Pulls In Over $1 Billion [Video]

    If Team Fortress 2, Overwatch and The Walking Dead had a threesome, then Fortnite would be their baby.

    A billion dollar baby, to be precise.

    This hugely popular, battle royale-type video game, which has only been around for less than a year, has raked in a cool $1 billion in revenue through in-game purchases alone.

    That’s R13 billion on our shores, and that’s a fan-flippin’-tastic figure for a game that doesn’t cost us plebs a single cent to buy.

    A report by Fortune has more info:

    [According to gaming intelligence company SuperData] The in-game purchases offer no competitive advantages to buyers. Players can spend money to earn V-bucks within the game, which can be spent on outfits, or “skins,” accessories, and dance movies for their avatars. Players can also purchase the V-bucks directly, at a rate of 1 000 V-bucks for $9,99 [R132].

    Not only has Fortnite pulled in top dollar, but it’s also scored other sweet accolades to tuck under its belt:

    Fortnite: Battle Royale was released as a mode of the original Fortnite game, a zombie survival game costing $60 [R791]. It is currently the most-streamed and most-watched game on Twitch.

    Wowzers. Take that, God of War.

    Check out the gameplay below:

    Bravo to Fortnite for hitting this one out the park.
