PUBG vs Fortnite
PUBG and Fortnite - arguably the two most important gaming franchises at the moment have made strides since their initial release - with popularity and player counts soaring - these two titans are currently going head to head as they rush to mobile in an effort to secure their marketplace domination. Just last month Fortnite reached a concurrent player count of 3.4 million - just pushing past the all-time top player count of 3.2 million in PUBG.
For those not familiar with the idea of battle royale - its basic concept boils down to a last-man-standing approach. Players are launched onto a map with only minimal supplies, forcing them to scavenge the environment for resources and weapons to enable them to fight for survival. The play zone is decreased over the duration of the match with the playable area constantly being shrunk, forcing players to keep moving and eventually fight for territory. The last player or team standing wins the game.
Although both games offer the same fundamental battle royale experience, they each have a distinct play style with PUBG opting for the more tactical approach with an arsenal of different weapons and attachments, while Fortnite gives players a more "arcade" pick up and play style experience but also throws building into the mix allowing player to craft their own fortresses and defences after gathering the necessary resources.
Are you invested in either game? What do you think of this recent trend of battle royale games?
