Fortnite<\/em> players are definitely here for the new throwback season. Since the release of \u201cFortnite OG<\/ins><\/a>\u201d at the end of last week, public player counts have reached new all-time highs, according to trackers like Fortnite.gg<\/ins><\/a> \u2014 peaking on Saturday with over 6.1 million concurrent players. With Chapter 4 Season 5, or \u201cFortnite OG,\u201d Fortnite<\/em> is dipping back into its Chapter 1 glory days to bring players back to the original 2018 island map and reintroduce gear and other elements from its past.<\/p>\n

The season started with an update designed around Chapter 1 Season 5, and subsequent updates will pull from other phases of the game\u2019s history. But, it\u2019s only expected to run for about a month, and players aren\u2019t wasting any time getting in on the battle royale action. The number of concurrent players has been rising all weekend, continually breaking the previous record highs. Within hours of the update\u2019s release, the player count had spiked to over 3.9 million. Already today, there were 5.5 million players on Fortnite <\/em>as of 11AM.<\/p>\n

The number of concurrent plays for a single day nearly doubled on Friday, after the update was announced, from those seen earlier in the week, to hit nearly 1.5 million. Saturday logged over 1.8 million concurrent plays. It\u2019s been years since Fortnite<\/em> has seen numbers like this, but there\u2019s no telling whether it\u2019ll be able to keep it up.<\/p>\n
