Fortnite hits 15 million downloads on Android

In just three weeks of releasing on Android, Epic's uber popular sandbox survival game has hit 15 million downloads milestone.

Epic noted in its blog that in the first three weeks, the interest in the game has been tremendously high. Over 23 million players entered Fortnite's Android beta while 15 million players installed the APK.

Given the astounding success of the game, Epic is also taking measures to prevent malware threats. Epic is taking down unauthorised 'Fortnite for Android' websites and taking actions against fraud pop-ups for the game. It has already pulled down 47 unauthorised websites.

Fortnite has been facing stiff competition from PUBG Mobile which has recently crossed 10 million daily active users. However, PUBG remains to be popular only on smartphones while Fortnite continues to surpass it in terms of overall revenue which is comparatively way higher.
