Fortnite is not only the most recognizable battle royal game in the world. It is also a very good platform for organizing various types of events.

The record lasted over a year until last night, when the American rapper Travis Scott virtually performed and presented his new song to the world in the popular online shooter from Epic Games. Over 12.3 million people watched the event. Let's add to that the audience from YouTube (1.2 million), Twitch (833 thousand) and Mixer (25 thousand).
