    I don’t think this is quite right as BRs were new at the time. When Fortnite released there was really only PUBG in the battle royale space.

    I believe it was something closer to a prototype they made in a month or two simply because they liked Battle Royales and thought it would be a fun gamemode to add a side thing.

        I couldn’t remember the name of this one, but looking it up, it actually had really good numbers in the range of 80-150k concurrent players.

        So I was wrong, I recalled PUBG being the dominant game at the time with very little of anything else near its numbers.
