Fortnite is one of the most played games in the world and with its constant successful updates, its fame doesn’t seem to fade away anytime soon. But every now and then, a rumor surfaces that leaves players wondering: “Is Fortnite shutting down?” Was there a tweet from official sources informing us that the hugely popular game is ending this year? Here’s everything you need to know about it.

Fortnite is 100% NOT shutting down in 2024 or 2025. Many are looking up the "Fortnite shutting down tweet" where the official Twitter account allegedly stated that Fortnite will be shutting down on a certain date. Be aware, this tweet is fake. Unless you see a tweet that is actually available from the @FortniteGame Twitter account, do not believe anything else as it could easily be photoshopped.

According to Fortnite’s player count and revenue statistics, Fortnite’s revenue in 2020 was $5.1 billion. In the same year, the number of monthly active players reached 80.4 million. Since then, its popularity has only increased as it continues to break its own previous records. With the number of YouTubers and Twitch streamers playing this game, and the fact that it is free to play, it is highly unlikely that the game is going to die anytime soon.

According to the tweet screenshot that is doing the rounds, Fortnite tweeted that they are closing down due to “high demand that they can’t keep up with.” Fortnite is a game by Epic Games and its net worth was $4.5 billion in July 2018. It was expected to surpass $8.5 billion by the end of 2018. With this, there will definitely be no issues on Epic’s part in terms of handling such a large number of players.
