Fortnite<\/a><\/p>\n

Documents relating to the ongoing legal battle between Apple<\/strong> and Epic<\/strong> have revealed that PlayStation<\/strong> is in fact Fortnite<\/strong>‘s biggest platform.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Court documents that have been disclosed ahead of the legal battle proper reveal that PlayStation 4 generated 46.8% of Fortnite’s total revenue from March 2018 until July 2020 – nearly half of the game’s full revenue stream (thanks, The Verge<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In contrast, Xbox One was second-highest with only 27.5%, showing that Sony’s last-gen platform really did rake in the players (and the money) at the height of Fortnite’s popularity.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the game earned a staggering $1.8 billion for Epic – knowing that a wealth of that came from PlayStation gives us an insight into why Epic and Sony have become so friendly<\/a> in recent months.<\/p>\n

iOS comes in quite low, then, with just 7% of total revenue coming from Apple, which is going to be a fairly significant figure in the legal battle between Apple and Epic.<\/p>\n

That figure is probably going to be a lot lower in more recent months, owing to the fact that Fortnite was kicked off the App Store<\/a> because Epic was trying to circumvent Apple’s 30% platform fee.<\/p>\n

Recently, we saw Apple try and engage Valve<\/a> in the messy, public legal conflict it’s embedded in with Epic.<\/p>\n

This whole legal battle comes down to Epic’s insistence that Apple has a monopoly on smartphone distribution<\/a>, and that the company engages with unfair business practices on the iOS platform (via charging unreasonable rates to developers that earn revenue via App Store publishing).<\/p>\n
