Viral hit OnlyUp climbs to new heights through custom Fortnite map as player count soars Twitter: @FNCreativeNews\/Epic GamesOnly Up fever has gripped Fortnite, with its player-made clone hitting new heights and creating a frenzy in the Battle Royale community. The custom mode \u201cOnlyUp Fortnite,\u201d inspired by the hit game \u201cOnly Up!\u201d on Steam, has stormed into the Fortnite scene, reaching an astounding 113,933 concurrent players on July 6. The original Only Up! game revolves around ascending a challenging obstacle course designed to test players\u2019 navigation skills, precise jumping, and tenacity. Only Up! caught the attention of famed streamers, including Fortnite legend Ninja, who completed the game on his first attempt, despite its difficult reputation. Drawing inspiration from the popular game, creator \u2018ArmyUnits\u2018 replicated the experience in Fortnite\u2019s Creative 2.0 platform, offering the Fortnite community an opportunity to experience the thrill of Only Up! without leaving their favorite Battle Royale game. With its player base expanding rapidly, it is only trailing behind official Fortnite playlists including the original Battle Royale, Zero Build Battle Royale, and Ranked Battle Royale, in terms of player count. Intriguingly, despite its cult status among gamers and streamers, the original Only Up! game only managed a peak of 11,135 concurrent players on Steam Charts. Its price tag, which doesn\u2019t factor into the free-to-play Fortnite\u2019s user-generated OnlyUp Fortnite, is likely a factor in this discrepancy. Reddit\u2019s \u2018FortniteCreative\u2019 community has been debating the future of Fortnite amidst this Only Up fever. User \u2018SpireletYT\u2019 questioned, \u201cIs Only Up (Fortnite) a sign of the future?\u201d Their concern centers on the fear that Fortnite might slide into a routine of low-quality creative maps, even going as far as referring to OnlyUp Fortnite as a \u201ccheap knockoff of a licensed game.\u201d Conversely, \u2018Pepsipierat\u2019 believes the current popularity surge is tied to the hype around the free game and anticipates future high-quality games will draw significant player attention. However, this divide hasn\u2019t slowed the momentum of other inspired users eager to make their mark on Fortnite. One user, \u2018rohji,\u2019 put a creative spin on the popular theme, introducing a gravity-defying concept called Only Down. In this version, players must nimbly navigate a complex obstacle course heading downwards, with the unique twist of avoiding fall damage. But for now, players looking to begin their vertical adventure on OnlyUp Fortnite can do so by punching in the game code 4366-9611-6988.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
