The United Kingdom has over one million searches for the game each month. A lot of people there are interested in the game because it is so popular. It falls under the large umbrella of the Europe-region, but it stands above most other countries there.

The United Kingdom is one of the biggest markets for the game, as many of the top players in the world reside there.

The country has players like Benjyfishy (currently retired) and Kaidon, so there's no shortage of good players there, as evidenced by the sheer volume of players looking for the game.


3) Brazil

Brazil is considered the second-most represented country for Fortnite. Out of all the gamers that play the game, a little over 8% of them are from Brazil. This makes them one of the countries in which Epic Games' hit game is more popular than almost anything else.

In 2018, Brazil was among the top five countries for players, and it is clear that their love has not gone away.


2) Norway

It could be argued that Norwegians like Fortnite more than anyone else. It's estimated that they have, on a monthly basis, an average of 20.43 searches per 1,000 people. That's more than any other country, which means that they are searching for information on the game more than anyone else.

They also have over 100,000 searches per month. That figure isn't huge when compared to other countries, but it does reinforce the idea that they love the game a lot.


1) The United States of America

The game is the most popular in the United States of America. One could argue that it is geared towards an American audience since there are two gameplay regions around there. It also typically does things in EST. For example, updates usually go live at 9 am EST, when those people are just starting their day.

It is estimated that nearly 30% of all players are in the United States, an astounding percentage that is unmatched by any other country.
