Fortnites återkomst till Apples App Store utlöste en massiv våg av nedladdningar förra veckan, vilket nästan matchade spelets lanseringssiffror på plattformen från 2018.
Spelet registrerade 3,4 miljoner nedladdningar globalt under sin återkomst till iOS-enheter, enligt data från AppMagic som delats av GamesIndustry.biz. Denna siffra gjorde veckan till Fortnites fjärde starkaste någonsin och låg nära det totala antalet på 3,7 miljoner nedladdningar under den ursprungliga lanseringsveckan 2018.
