Fortnite becomes 5th 'most tweeted' game globally, Animal Crossing takes top spot

Around a week or so ago, we talked about Fortnite’s net worth, which is estimated to be more than $2 billion. As of May, the game has a user base of more than 350 million, despite the drop in interest over the last year.

Of course, there are quite a few reasons behind the recent stagnation. Notable content creators such as SypherPK and Ninja have spoken at length about the game’s issues. Problems such as laggy servers and lack of new content have also been noted. More recently, individual content creators have even accused Epic Games of releasing ‘clickbait updates’!

With Fortnite’s massive user base, quite a few of these complaints get expressed on Twitter. More recently, with the addition of features such as cars and exciting new skins, there has been a general increase in the number of Fortnite fans who take to Twitter to voice their opinions.

And now, it has emerged that Fortnite is currently the fifth most-tweeted-about game in the world!
