Fortnite is currently enjoying remarkable popularity, potentially surpassing the levels it achieved a few years ago when it first emerged as a battle royale sensation, taking the gaming scene by storm and achieving global acclaim.

In our report yesterday, it was highlighted that Fortnite achieved a groundbreaking milestone, boasting a record-breaking player count of 100 million in November, the highest ever recorded for any game. Furthermore, the game set a new daily record last month with a staggering 44.7 million players in a single day. These impressive achievements are attributed to the reintroduction of the OG Fortnite map.

Nevertheless, when Epic Games revealed plans to retire the OG Fortnite map, players expressed their discontent, prompting an unexpected response from the game developer. In a tweet, Epic Games declared that it's not a final farewell to the OG Fortnite map but rather a "see you again," adding an intriguing twist to their decision.
