SuperData Arcade has shared its monthly report, stating that Fortnite has dipped month-over-month after a strong end to the year and that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive‘s high engagement levels aren’t translating into revenue gains.
Going into more details, Fortnite revenue on all platforms combined declined 48% month-over-month in January, although sales are still up significantly year-over-year. According to the report, this comes after a peak month in December and points to an increasingly lumpy revenue profile heading into 2019.
On the other hand, Counter Strike Global Offensive’s MAU grew 8% year-over-year in January after benefiting from the switch to a free-to-play model in November. However, digital revenue fell considerably compared to last January as new users showed lower conversion for in-game spending.
Furthermore, consumers spent $8.4 billion on digital games across all platforms in January, down 6% year-over-year. Premium PC had the biggest drop off of any platform with a 29% decline. Meanwhile, console revenue also decreased by 3% even including a favorable comparison from Fortnite due to tepid performance from top Premium Console franchises such as Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, FIFA and Overwatch.
Last but not least, here are the world’s most popular digital games across PC, console and mobile for January 2019.

im the only one ho did not play fortnite and apex ?
Nope, Me too, never touched any of them and never will.
me too will never touch any mmo. playing far cry new dawn now and cant wait for devil may cry sekiro dead ro alive 6(will start it later today) will play metro exodus in the future and crackdown 3 and all action games but will never touch thismmo/online crap!
I haven’t played either of them.
“…Premium Console franchises such as Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, FIFA and Overwatch.”
The era we live in, when any of these online piles of garbage, can be called “premium” franchises.
GTA V’s single player is great, but the online trash, is just another money siphoning pile of garbage, like any other online scam of a game.
Singleplayer is bland as f*k and with no content though.
Great world building and detail, but the campaign is short as f*k and repetitive as all hell.
Eh… I can’t exactly stand up tall for GTA V’s single player, but it was the only franchise in this list that was worth a piss in defending. I won’t argue your comment at all.
” but it was the only franchise in this list that was worth a piss in defending”
Fair enough
GTA single player being great is an exaggeration honestly.
I’d be slightly optimistic of watching this pile of garbage burn, if I didn’t know better in that the focus merely shifted elsewhere.
Stupidity is still alive and well.
hahhahaha! ironic as a spent double what i usually do on fortnite as they had a alot of neat costumes and emotes lately.
how so? me and my son love fortnite. been down since season 3. only ones who hate it are elitists who think there too cool for it and never tried it and people who try jumping on the bandwagon late and missed out on all the cool stuff.
>liking fortnight
gay and bluepilled
for you

Yeah, Apex Legends happened, we know.
That’s month over month January/January. Apex got out on early february so it has little to nothing to do for Fortnite’s decline. Epic are the ones to blame not Respawn.
Yeah another great game to replace fortnite, lmao.
unfortunately it’s replacing some parts of Blackout as well, and ppl are leaving for that garbage.
Garbage for garbage…Well
it’s not. u have to try it. if ur bad at it then ur gonna hate it.
No it’s garbage end of story.
it’s not, ur just talking out of ur a*s, period.
It is and you just don’t know sht about videogames, go play ur kids game and stop bothering me.
i’m an 80’s fart, don’t f*ck with me you piece of sh*t lil pr*ck. Stop contradicting me like a fking d*ck and get the fk out. ur talking out of ur a*s period. fk off.
Nice, you don’t even have an excuse for playing kid’s casual videogames you are just that childish and stupid. This ain’t the place for you.
This garbage shoud die
It’s only being replaced by Apex Legends, and that’s bad news because now EA will get to enjoy all the success that Epic had.
Another news https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/71cffb6ce48ecb1c0b5930c07daf169ccfb6f30f7efb921ab3d5cf2c5d706cfe.png
That might be the much deserved end of Bioware, but my point is that EA itself is getting saved by Apex, which is a real bummer.
Ahahaha 😀 nice.
I suggested that famous pointing system on fortnite forums long ago apex came out. Guess what, they didnt give a damn, apex implemented it, and they are now # 1. They deserved to fail
Apex Legends is already dead on Twitch.
Albeit that it’d be damned funny if Apex Legends utterly destroys Fortnite and thus triggers financial meltdown at Epic Games which results in the closure of the Epic Store or at least them being unable to bankroll more exclusives.
Unlikely to happen, I know, but nice to imagine! Oh how glorious it’d be to witness THQ Nordic/Koch Media having to beg Steam to take back Metro Exodus early.
Yeah but think about the crap EA would pull with that kind of success.
In a fight between monsters, whoever wins, we lose.
EA is like a cockroach in that it’ll somehow survive the worst of crises no matter what. Epic Store, however…
“Unlikely to happen, I know, but nice to imagine!”
Not unlikely at all. That’s the volatility of this “live service” crap. You could literally be sunk overnight.
A month ago, people would have laughed in your face, had you mentioned that Fortnite could take a major blow a few weeks later. Yet, here we are.
The same goes for Apex, or any other trendy junk. It’s the very nature of the business model. Trendy.
Never have I wished so much to be proven wrong!
Sure, live service games are volatile, but the successful ones are really f*cking successful. A 48% drop just means they only need 10 dump trucks to haul the cash versus 15.
WoW has been slowly bleeding users for years, but that’s still here and so is Blizzard.
I’d be literally rofl, besides, the new metro is kinda bad. Hopefully the story ends here.
Yeah, I played a little more of Metro Exodus yesterday and the game just isn’t doing it for me. The first two games got it largely so right with their ‘less is more’ approach but there’s so much about ME I’m not enjoying.
It’s pretty poor honestly, they had the courage of copying stuff from farcry and from stalker, it’s really incredible how desperate they are, besides it still shows their pretty rough hands at developing games, just like with old metros, but at least those weren’t this stupid and actually had a decent atmosphere, this here feels like a joke.
With hindsight maybe the publisher realised the game wasn’t all that great and so with lowered sales expectations they took the money from Epic Store while the hype was in full flow prior to release.

Would totally make sense.
Would totally make sense.
Epic Store was suckered. Not the great loss to Steam (for a year) and GOG that we mostly all once presumed it was.
Epic is using Fortnite money (i.e. selling stolen dance moves to children) to fund its Epic store exclusivity program. So good riddance I say!
Why is everyone happy Fortnite is dying? This game has single handedly put every screaming 12 year old in one game.
lol True but at the same time it made EpicGame alot of money so they can do other s**t that is bad for PC Gaming, exclusivity.
Likely because of the obvious direction it has skewed this already bland and boring industry down with its success. That’s why I’d be happy to see it, and everything like it, die.
I don’t have to deal with 12 year old heathens. I hardly ever touch online. I’m not alone.
Not quite so Epic now, huh.
Considering CSGO is getting up there in age, its surprising its still talked about.
Thanks to graphics stagnation it still looks like a contemporary game. in 2010 a game from 2000 looked ancient. In 2019 a game from 2009 looks decent.
I would rather see kids play something else, like maybe Minecraft?
At least in that game they can learn valuable life lessons such as “punching tree make it split into logs”
This kinda new should be celebrated! May these garbage games die quick!
me too will never touch any mmo. playing far cry new dawn now and cant
wait for devil may cry sekiro dead ro alive 6(will start it later today)
will play metro exodus in the future and crackdown 3 and all action
games but will never touch thismmo/online crap!!!

I played both game but get boring really fast
t i have to play it because not have any new good game for me
all i see it multiplayer online or zombie i dont want to waste money on that junk.
so free game it can keep me from boring too much like a week or two.
Good that cancerous growth in gaming should vanish as fast as possible.
amazing how DFO is still up there lol
