Fortnite, the shooting game that’s hooked fans from school kids to basketball stars, now has over 200 million players. 

That number – almost equal to the population of Brazil – represents a 60% increase from the 125 million registered users that the game’s creator, Epic Games Inc, released in June. And it’s five times the count the company gave in January.
