That’s good for about 11 million downloads
Here’s an incredible statistic that seems both ridiculous and totally accurate:Fortnite‘s attach rate on Nintendo Switch is almost 50 percent.
Nintendo announced this milestone in its most recentmid-year financials briefingfor investors. The report states “[Fortnite] has gained so much momentum that it has been downloaded to nearly half of all Nintendo Switch systems worldwide.”
Because Nintendo has also revealed that theSwitch is already at 22.86 millionglobal sales, we can reasonably infer thatFortnitedownloads are in the 10 to 11 million range. Epic declined our request to share an exact number of Switch downloads.
Really though, none of this is necessarily surprising. Hands-down the world’s most popular video game — which is free, by the way — was downloaded a whole bunch on the most popular console. It’s impressive and it’s a testament to the success of bothFortniteand Switch, and what they can accomplish in tandem.
