Fortnite Peaked at OVER 5M PLAYERS by simply re-releasing the OG Fortnite Map which attracts old players who quit fortnite back to the game.
Fortnite reportedly just peaked at over 5 million concurrent players with the OG map return
From the chart over 3,526,262, are currently playing the game as at November 3, 2023.
According to leakers/data-miners HYPEX and NotJulesDev, the Chapter 4 Season OG live event’s countdown is slated to begin on November 21, 2023. This implies that there will be a huge build-up, considering that the season will only end on December 3, 2023. That said, the last day of the season should coincide with the live event. However, this may be subject to change, and with good reason.
According to the information at hand, the upcoming live event has some similarities with the one that occurred at “The End” of Chapter 1 Season X. There appears to be an extended downtime or “Night Night” that will spring into action as soon as the curtain falls. This indicates that servers could be offline for up to 24 hours before Chapter 5 Season 1 starts.
This is done to ensure that the bulk of the playerbase which are based in the United States of America can sleep during the downtime and subsequent update. By the time they wake up, the update is live and they do not have to wait for things to come to fruition. All they need to do is patch the game and get on with a match.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season OG is roughly 24 hours away, and as such, the community is on the edge. With the timeline resetting and returning to its roots, the anticipation is heavy. Old weapons, vehicles, mobility items, and the OG map itself are making a return. Unlike previous seasons, Epic Games has also taken the liberty of showcasing Battle Pass Outfits in all its glory.
However, for everything that is about to come, there will be an ending as well. According to leakers/data-miners, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season OG will end on December 3, 2023. For those wondering how things will end, that is where the upcoming live event comes into play. Files pertaining to an end-of-season event have been found in-game, and there are a few interesting things to note.
