The new cycle of Fortnite has not only managed to maintain interest after the Zero Hour event, but has also once again demonstrated the weight the game still carries in 2025. The release of Chapter 7 has triggered a massive influx of players, with numbers that already surpass many full paid game launches.

The data doesn’t come from vague estimates, but from one of the most reliable leakers in the community, HYPEX, who has monitored server activity in real-time during the launch. And the numbers speak for themselves: Fortnite is still moving millions.

Fortnite Chapter 7 surpasses 3 million concurrent players

• The launch of Chapter 7: Pacific Wave brought together 1.7 million players in Battle Royale mode alone, while the Creative mode added another million. In total, over 3 million users were connected simultaneously, enjoying the new content.

These numbers confirm that Epic Games is once again making a huge impact with each chapter jump. The strategy of massive annual updates is working, revitalizing interest in Fortnite and keeping it as one of the most played titles in the world.

In the coming days, there will be even more movement: according to several leaks, the winter event will introduce collaborations with Harry Potter and South Park, incorporating two of the most powerful licenses that had not yet landed in the game.
