As the games industry continues to crumble around us, Fortnite proves it's still doing just fine as it hits a new player count record

"You. Showed. Up," reads a tweet from the official Fortnite account. "More than 14 million concurrent players partied up for Remix: The Finale and more than 3 million estimated people streamed it online. This is a new Fortnite all-time record for an in-game concert - thank you!"

"Those are some pretty wild numbers for a game that's been around since 2017 (its battle royale mode it's now famously known for, anyway)."

"As a reminder, last year Epic Games laid off around 900 of its employees, claiming in October of this year that it's now 'financially sound'."

"Despite how much some companies might want more and more live service games, it's not exactly a great time for them - the hotly anticipated multiplayer spin-off of The Last of Us was cancelled almost a year ago now."
