Fortnite accumulates 2 million downloads on nintendo switch in 24 hours

The phenomenon of Fortnite grows like foam, the popular batlle royale from Epic Games only 24 hours ago that it reached the Nintendo Switch, and already accumulates no less than 2 million downloads on the Nintendo platform.

Fortnite sweeps 2 million downloads in one day in its release on the Nintendo Switch

Nintendo America President Reggie Fils-Aimé says Fortnite has been downloaded 2 million times on the Nintendo Switch in just one day, a brutal success that highlights just how far the phenomenon goes. Nintendo's hybrid console is the perfect platform to enjoy a game like this, due to its inherent portability and the ability to sync Epic account across multiple platforms, and have all game elements and progress achieved previously unlocked. PS4 is the only platform that does not offer this possibility, since Sony opposes cross-play for security reasons.

Fortnite's graphics engine is not very demanding, which allows the game to be run on the Nintendo Switch with a level of graphic quality quite similar to what is offered on other much more powerful platforms. This has been a key aspect for the game to have superseded PUGB, without forgetting its free to play character.

Epic Games announced yesterday that Fortnite has 125 million registered players since its launch in July last year, and that the vast majority of them are playing its battle royale mode. Now that Fortnite has arrived on Nintendo Switch, the only major platform that remains untapped is Android, a version that Epic says should arrive this summer.
