Where were you at 2 p.m. EST on November 30, 2024? If you’re one of the 14 million people who tuned in for Fortnite’s latest “Remix: The Finale” event, you were probably hanging at “The Doggpound” listening to what Epic is now saying is its most-streamed in-game concert yet. Of course, this is just the number of concurrent players watching live and in-game; millions more watched live streams on YouTube and Twitch.
“You. Showed. Up. More than 14 million concurrent players partied up for Remix: The Finale and more than 3 million estimated people streamed it online,” Epic Games shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This is a new Fortnite all-time record for an in-game concert – thank you!”
If you happened to miss the event, not to worry: dozens (and counting!) of captures are popping up on YouTube. Here’s one of them!
If this is the new record, let’s go back through the archives and tally up just how impressive this feat is. Let’s start with the original, pandemic-era concert featuring Travis Scott:
- 2020, Travis Scott concert: 12.3 million concurrent players, 27 million total
- 2024, Snoop Dogg & Ice Spice at Times Square: 10 million concurrent players
- 2023, Big Bang event, featuring Eminem: 10 million concurrent players
- 2024, Doctor Doom fight: 5.6 million concurrent players
Just when you think this whole Fortnite thing can’t keep growing, it goes and does something like this. Of course, today’s concert was also a kick off to the new season, which kicks off tomorrow … and features a permanent return of the ultra-popular OG mode, featuring the original map and vibes from the long, long ago (please don’t actually think about how long ago 2017 was).
