"The newest Fortnite season, which is all about The Simpsons, is putting up big numbers. Epic Games announced today that, after the first 48 hours, the new Simpsons season of Fortnite helped propel the game to the "biggest number of new and returning Fortnite players" since the Holiday 2024 season. What's more, Epic said the first of multiple Simpson shorts on Disney+ became the platform's No. 1 program. "Move over Shelbyville," Epic said, referencing Springfield's rival next-door neighbor."
"Epic did not announce a specific player figure, but data showed that the game eclipsed 2.7 million concurrent players over the weekend when the Simpsons update came out. That's a massive figure, but it's nowhere close to Fortnite's all-time record of 14.3 million current players in November 2024. The new Fortnite season, which runs through November 29, brings a new Springfield map to Fortnite featuring locations like Moe's Tavern, the Kwik-E-Mart, and the Springfield nuclear plant."
After the first 48 hours, the Simpsons season propelled Fortnite to the largest number of new and returning players since Holiday 2024. No specific player figure was announced, but data showed the game eclipsed 2.7 million concurrent players over the weekend, still far below the 14.3 million record in November 2024. The season runs through November 29 and adds a Springfield map with Moe's Tavern, the Kwik-E-Mart, and the Springfield nuclear plant. A Simpsons battle pass includes Homer and Marge skins and variants like Stupid Sexy Flanders. Linking Epic and MyDisney accounts grants a free Kang and Kodos glider. Dataminers found signs of potential SpongeBob and Harry Potter crossovers, and the first Simpsons short on Disney+ reached No. 1 on the platform.
