Fortnite\u2019s Galactus event smashes huge player record set by Travis Scott Epic Games \/ MarvelFortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 ended with a bang as millions of players joined forces to take down Marvel\u2019s planet-sized supervillain, Galactus, setting a new concurrent player record in the process. Fortnite players have been on a collision course with Marvel\u2019s Galactus for a long time now. An inevitable showdown between them and the imposing supervillain became more obvious as the season progressed. At the beginning of the battle, everyone watched in horror as Galactus finally approached the island and claimed he was hungry as he swatted a helicopter out of the sky. Fortunately, Iron Man turned up and told Fortnite players how they could help. Funnily enough, their duties involved piloting a battle bus armed with explosives to feed him. Eventually, after enough damage was dealt, Galactus exploded, and the island was saved. It wasn\u2019t the all-guns-blazing battle that players had anticipated, but it still turned out to be incredibly fun. Plus, it attracted so many people that the event smashed Fortnite\u2019s previous concurrent player record, yet again. Fortnite\u2019s first major concurrent player record was set during the Party Royale Premier. Millions of players from all around the world hopped in to celebrate the game\u2019s 350 million registered player milestone. It was impressive at the time, but it didn\u2019t take long to beat. Travis Scott\u2019s Astronomical music event smashed it out of the park when he led a whopping 12.3 million Fortnite players on a magical mystery tour. Nobody thought it would be possible to topple that. However, Epic Games is always looking for new ways to push the envelope and watch it bend. Fortnite\u2019s Galactus event attracted even more concurrent players and viewers and set the bar even higher.
