As per Epic Game's latest announcement, Fortnite has gained 350 million registered players, who in April spent over 3.2 billion hours inside the game. "Fortnite now has over 350 million registered players! In April, players spent over 3.2 billion hours in game," the company said in a tweet.

It has also been revealed that the title hit a new attendance record last month at Travis Scott's Astronomical concert. During the show there were around 12.3 million players connected simultaneously.

While game developers are preparing for the arrival of next-generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Epic Games is also not behind in the race as it has announced an update to its Unreal Engine to bring support for Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X. The update essentially means a variety of games will be optimised for the next-gen consoles. The popular Fortnite could also be one of them.

The latest iteration, version 4.25, is also expected to help developers better prepare for the new consoles.
