Earlier this month, gamers learned that the iOS version of Fortnite was a huge revenue driver for Epic Games the game earned more than $700 million from iOS customers over the two years before it was pulled by Apple, according to court documents (PDF) released ahead of Epics trial against the iPhone maker. But even though iOS Fortnite players brought in a staggering amount of money for Epic, iOS isnt the biggest platform in terms of revenue for the game apparently, it might even be among the smallest.
Court documents reveal that PlayStation 4 generated 46.8 percent of Fortnites total revenues from March 2018 through July 2020, while Xbox One, the second-highest platform, generated 27.5 percent. iOS ranked fifth, with just 7 percent of total revenue. The remaining 18.7 percent would have been split between Android, Nintendo Switch, and PCs.
